Re: Star Wars game delivers lightsaber battles on Wii
Big Leon, Wikipedia is not the most reliable source plus the Hexus news normally comes from the manufacturer in terms of press releases etc.

Re: Star Wars game delivers lightsaber battles on Wii
Hmm looking round and interestingly HMV quote a date for the PC version - http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayP...N_GAMES-648375 - next year. Which would make sense and follow the general console/pc thang where they release a pc version some time after the console one.
A New Hope?

Re: Star Wars game delivers lightsaber battles on Wii
I will wait as long as it takes to play the Wii-mote as a lightsabre.
...however if its half as bad as some of their recent offerings it may result in quite a few dissapointed gamers, I really hope they've made something special this time. /optimism |

Re: Star Wars game delivers lightsaber battles on Wii
Who do you mean by 'they'? Nintendo have put out some good games (metroid prime etc.), and Lucas Arts aren't doing badly either (lego star wars)

I would love for there to be a new lightsaber game jsut like moviebattles. KOTF is/was coming out?

Lego Star Wars was only published by LucasArts, it was developed by several other companies depending on the platform. Star Wars games actually developed by LucasArts have been largely uninspiring in recent years. |
