    A Wii Lightsaber? OHHHH YEA.

    http://wii.ign.com/articles/800/800232p1.html

    UK, June 28, 2007 - When the Wii's motion-sensing controller was first revealed, everyone pondered how cool it would be to wave a Wii-Lightsaber around - probably while going "zwwoooom, zwooom, kzzzzzzzk". Now, it seems that dream is set to become reality this autumn.

    Speaking at the Hollywood & Games Summit panel yesterday, LucasArts' Jim Ward tackled the tricky subject of what would it take to have a game that used the Wiimote as a Lightsaber, following a question raised by Newsweek's N'Gai Croal.

    "We're all over that," said Ward, "and internally we have already played a lightsaber game on the Wii. It's a lot of fun, and we'll get there." He then added that the concept of Wiimote control was already in place in a game and "there'll be some stuff out this autumn - it's going to be a lot of fun".

    It's possible Ward was referring to the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Trilogy, which is set for release later this year. LucasArts has previously stated that its Wii controls "result in the most interactive LEGO Star Wars gaming experience yet". Here's hoping E3 brings firmer details.
    Please just click on the site anyways, dont wanna be stealing their revenues...

    But this should be awesome.

    I was hoping it would be a new Star Wars game designed for the wii-mote. I guess it still could be.

    I'm expecting the title they refer to currently being in development as simply being the next Lego Star Wars title but I do believe they have an exclusive planned for later that does revolve around the light saber.
    The current US government is the type of government the founding fathers fought against and warned us about.

    America, the Dr. will free you now.

    That's what I'm worried about... LucasArts hasn't had much faith in Nintendo at all for a few years now... and not confident that they'll actually give us a top quality game out of this.

    I'm skeptical on how well this product will work.

    This is almost sure to be Lego Star Wars, but it's good they recognize that people do want this game to happen. An original Jedi Knight game for Wii with the series traditional FPS controls (Wookie Bowcaster...YEAH!) and the staple lightsaber stuff...amazing...

    Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of a stand alone game rather than a Lego Star Wars rehash. Those games are fun, but only for a little while. There really isn't much replay value in my opinion.

    Lego Star Wars seems to be the most obvious, but hopefully it won't be the only game to use this control. I see a whole ton of Star Wars games coming to the Wii in the future....

    Okay, lightsaber game, yay... but I think all of you should be hoping for a game with a very decent premise and story at this point *points* I don't want to see some stupid shallow cheap money grabbing attempt.

    @ Elf: Obviously.

    But you know that that's more likely to happen than an actual game worth buying.

    Let's hope it doesn't use pre-set animations.

    ^That would be one way to completely ruin it.
