Nintendo Wii? The Force Unleashed?… Big News…

September 18, 2007 · Print This Article

Holy crap!! LucasArts.com has just released that The Force Unleashed will be released in April of 2008, but not only that, it will be released for the Nintendo Wii!!!! Wooo! This will make a lot of happy fans! Now all we can hope for is a PC release as well.

Lucasarts has announced that next spring, gamers will be able to wield the Wii Remote as a lightsaber in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed videogame for the Wii. Players will be able to control the Lightsaber with the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk will be used for force powers. The game sets place between Episode III and Episode IV with Darth Vader secretly training a Sith Apprentice who happens to be you. The game will also feature an exclusive duel mode where players will be able to compete head-to-head with their friends (it’s unknown if it can be done online).

The official website has also released a second Web Documentary entitled, “A Force Wrecking Ball”. You can check it out on the official website here. I’ll post it in our downloads section when it becomes available.

Haden Blackman has released a Production Diary. He discusses mainly how the actors are intergraded into the game. It’s a very interesting read so be sure to check it out here.

    Actually Haden Blackman wrote the new production diary, not Brett Rector.
