Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

LucasArts has been teasing Star Wars fans and Wii owners with the promise of a Wii-mote lightsaber mashup for sometime now. As a Star Wars fan AND a Wii owner I've been more than taken by the idea.

Previously LucasArts had hinted that the first Wii-mote lightsaber pairing wouldn't come until after the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game - but no more.

Yesterday LucasArts confirmed that Star Wars: FU ... wait ... Star Wars: tFU would be hitting the Wii and utilizing the Wii-mote and nunchuck to pair lightsaber work with force powers.

"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."
