The Force Unleashed on the Wii: About Damn Time; Posted About 1 year ago by Coop

Ever since the Wii was announced we wanted a damn lightsaber game. We would have settled with a damn sword fighting game but Red Steel sucked. So we were stuck sitting on our damn butts waiting for Lucasarts to get their damn heads out of the sand and make us a damn lightsaber game! Well, they plan to deliver:

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.”

THIS is what we want. I personally cannot wait and hope to god they don't screw it up - because theres a 95% chance they will.
