Wii Lighsabers at Last!

[andygates]

In a story from Slashdot, it has finally been confirmed that Krome Studios will be doing a Wii version of Star Wars: Force Unleashed and that it will have wiimote-lightsabers and that there will be multiplayer duel mode.

The Slashdot tags sum this up perfectly:  geekgasm.

Now get this right, guys: the Wii suits casual play so let's have easy drop-in duel mode, nice fast turnaround, and if you'd enable the mics we know are tucked away there, I'd quite like to be able to say "Only a master of evil, Colin," to my foe; multi-camera video recording would be a shiny bonus so I can save my utter pwnage of little children to show to my friends (well, to Youtube).

This is the killer app.  Please don't frack it up.

Ah, yes, the exquisite fear that comes from a truly singular potential when coupled with the myriad ways of wasting it. I'm similarly frightened by the planned HBO Song of Ice and Fire series.

And the Star Wars franchise - though admittedly not the games - has previous when it comes to wasting potential.

Mind you, the entire existence of Jar Jar Binks becomes justified if the Gungans are a playable race and we the people are afforded the opportunity of hacking them into polygons.

Oooh! Now if my brother visits, we can recreate the lightsaber fights we had as kids!!!
