Use the Wii Remote Luke

[AtariJr]

Remember LucasArts talking last fall about that lightsaber game they were making? Well there is a chance that we will have it this fall. while nothing is confirmed yet other than lego star wars, if you read the article it screams that there is something more. you dont use the wiimote in lego sw that would be as fun as this guy boasts.. and some stuff sounds like more than one thing to me. along with Project Hammer , the sw lightsaber game was the first thing about the wii game wise that really just made me giddy as hell. cant wait to see how this turns out. ill take this in subtstitute to Force Unleashed .. no complaints.

 

"LucasArts' Jim Ward at yesterday's Hollywood & Games Summit panel said they have internal prototypes of lightsaber games using the Wiimote and that "there'll be some stuff out this fall -- it's going to be a lot of fun." Now, before we blow our collective geek minds, the only thing we are aware of at this point is Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Although that's nice, it's not really the Wiimote game we're looking for. That doesn't mean something isn't going to be revealed in two weeks at E3, and boy are people being tight-lipped about what's going on, but the conservative side of us thinks that the Lego Star Wars product is what Ward was referring to -- we so hope we're wrong.

 

Even if Ward was referring to the Lego game as the "stuff" for this fall, we're hoping to see some lighsaber Wiimote titles announced at Min-E3, or at least get a try at these "internal prototypes." If it works even slightly better than Red Steel we'll be more than happy. If it works really well, we'll keep a shot of insulin handy from the immaculately conceived sugar rush of joy that will occur. Two weeks till we have some lightsaber Wiimote answers."

I wonder if they will incorporate the Wii-mote lightsabers in Lego Star Wars?

""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."

 

bigger quote.. sounds like i was right.
