Star Wars: The Force Unleashed coming to the Wii

by David Hinkle on Sep 18th 2007 3:00PM

If it's one thing that everyone has been dying for since the unveiling of the Wiimote, it's a genuine Star Wars experience. You know, with the Wiimote acting as a lightsaber, allowing us all to be the Star Wars Kid in the privacy of our own living rooms. Well, maybe Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is just what the doctor ordered.

Releasing in spring, the game will allow players to wield the Wiimote as a lightsaber and use the nunchuk to activate Force powers. The Wii version will be developed by Krome Studios and feature a Wii-exclusive duel mode, where friends can go head-to-head.

Yes. Yes! YES!

wewt?

Waiting for the Sonic reveal.

I just ...

It just ...

I...

HOLY MOTHER OF JEHOVA IT IS TRUE! :D

If the duel mode has online play as well then it definitely sounds like a "Wii-ner"

Maybe the best news since ... since ever!
Damn, this is so amazing!

I hate to be a naysayer, but I have a feeling the particle system, the euphoria system, and the incredible graphics are not going to all be able to run on the Wii together.

I have a feeling this will be more of a DS port than an XBox360 port. :)

More like a PS2 port, Krome Studios was also doing the PS2 version.

But I'm still praying it will be good.

Rocketman, holy crap,
I about died laughing.

I would be just as excited as everyone else is about this.... if this game wasn't a port.

I'm wary of ports on the Wii, because of the radically different control scheme.

It all rests on the company doing the port; hopefully they'll really take the time & effort to tweak the Wii controls to make it a fun game to play on the system.

woot!!! Ohhh Yeahh!!! Until then, I have Jedi Knights 2.

Mixed feelings here... if it's a FUN port, with convincing Wiimote swordfights and smart use of the nunchuck for Force push/pull/etc, then hooray for ports! So much potential for fun if they take the time to map the controls well. I've said before and will say again, it could be a screen-by-screen Jedi Outcast clone and if the controls were great, I'd gladly drop $50 on it.

If it's a crappy port, though... well, we've got enough of those :)
