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."

:D:D:D:D

This is what the Wii has really been waiting for.

I can imagine Star Wars kid is getting excited about this.
 
Ok, hands up.

Who will be making light saber sounds? :D lol

Hopefully they'll intergrate it into the speaker. Will be cool if you can use 2 Wiimotes for dual action light saber goodness! :D
 
damn I was really hoping this wasnt gonna happen, so I didnt HAVE to be ripped off by the price of the hardware.

Also thinking LA have another Star Wars game coming out around then for the other consoles I seem to recall

Of course the Wiimote will make lightsaber sounds!
 
Why Why Why wasn't this used as a Wii launch title ????. Bringing out the most wanted game (go on admit it :)) over 18 months after console release is *******

The same game is coming out on the 360, although not with the wii mote duelling.

Dont think it will be long before we get battlegrounds 3 on the next gen consoles either.

LucasArts admitted that they thought the Wii was gonna be another GameCube with regards to fanbase/sales so they sat back to see what happened. Then the Wii sold faster than Playboy featuring Scarlett Johansson and they've seen the light!!! :)

OK, so the physics/graphics engine might not be top notch but the duel mode/controls are gonna raise the exact same arguments between 360/PS3 and Wii owners-
Content V Gameplay.

Personally, I cannot wait!!! :D
