The Wii is finally getting the game it was made for. Star Wars. Now, I am a fan of the films, but I am not a fanboy. But, the Wii was made for lightsaber battles. It may not be the graphics workhorse that the PS3 or XBOX 360 is, but as Han Solo would say "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself." My inner geek is trembling like a 17 year old girl after the prom.
"LucasArts to Unleash the Force on the Wii in Spring 2008
Star Wars™: The Force Unleashed™ Coming to Nintendo's Platform with Exclusive Duel Mode
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Sept. 18, 2007 -- LucasArts today revealed that Star Wars™: The Force Unleashed™ will come to the Wii™ home videogame system from Nintendo next spring, offering owners the unique chance to live out their Jedi fantasies by wielding the Wii Remote™ as a lightsaber while using the Nunchuk™ controller to torment foes with their Force™ powers.
The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game's expansive story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.
The Wii version, in development by Krome Studios, will also add an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head-to-head with their friends to determine the ultimate Jedi Master.
"The 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."
