May The Force be Wii-th you!
The President of LucasArts has spoken out for the first time on what Wii gamers - and indeed any gamer - has been waiting to hear since the dawn of the Wiimote. Lightsabre action!
According to CVG, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is coming to Wii next spring and it'll allow you to wield the Wiimote as a Lightsaber.
You will also use the nunchuk to 'use the Force' against enemies - we're guessing this will involve fast waggling from side to side as seen in Twilight Princess to activate force moves. The storyline of the game is set during the era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV A New Hope, so there's plenty of scope for just about anything to happen, and all the major character cast should be available.
"Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console's motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life," said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts. "We've worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force."
Krome Studios are developing the Wii version of the game, and have reported that there is an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head on with other human players.
One of the first things to be said about the Wiimote when it was announced was "We can't wait for LucasArts to bring out a Star Wars game where you can use this thing as a lightsabre!" It looks as though in 2008, that dream will be realised. Roll on Spring!
