IWOOT

The first Wii lightsaber hits the shops at the end of the month, just in time for Chrimbo squandering.  C'mon programmers!  Hurry up!  At this rate my next paycheque will be blown on President Weevil: Umbrella Chronicles and a Zapper...

All I want is good lightsaber combat. I'll take Super Mario Saber if that's where it comes, or No More Heroes (which looks cool and is cel-shaded), hell, I'll do PokéSaber or Link's Lightsaber Training. The whole console screams "sword games" so loud...

...especially lit-up swords, Wiimotes that buzz and crackle and go "wommm", kick in your hand, and which can be played in a darkened cleared room, in a single dim spotlight, wearing a Jedi bathrobe, and with a headset and network play so I can say, "If you cut me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Basically: Potential for nerdgasm is balanced by potential for "George Lucas raped my childhood"gasm. I live in terrified anticipation...
