LucasArts Shows Interest In Wii Lightsaber Game
Gamasutra reports that, though they're not willing to say they have one in the works right now, LucasArts is interested in a Wii lightsaber game. From the article: "At the end of the demonstration, Gamasutra inquired as to whether the company planned on creating a lightsaber game for the Wii, after many commented on the suitability of the system to the concept - especially after an internal speaker was revealed in the controller being used to demo the concept. This question produced a number of knowing smiles around the room from LucasArts employees, followed by the comments: 'We know' and 'We are looking into it', as possible concepts for the game were discussed. However, the firm has not yet made any official announcements regarding planned Wii titles."
Just don't film yourself playing....

Hand me my lightsaber. It's the one that says, "Wii" on it.

I love these announcements of "big giant bloated company filled with cynical skeptical middle managers drenched in cash shows interest in something" as news. Proves the point that big giant bloated companies are rarely interested in anything except the lunch menu.
Business isn't willing to pay for products, innovation and careers, so we get brands, mortgage commercials and layoffs.
You have the ring, and I see your Wii is as big as mine. Let's see how well you handle it.
As everyone always says, the pr0n industry decides what new technologies take off. I can't wait to see their novel uses for the Wiimote...
This guy's the limit!
My dad taught me to play light-sabers with wee (sound effect and all) and I in turn taught my son. It's a tradition 'round here.

We are the Jedi who say ... Wii!
"We would love geeks throwing money at us for releasing this title (or titles) I mean, we love money as much as the next guy, but seriously we have so much money here we simply dont know what do to with it, we have used it to lit the boiler, as toilet paper, eating it, these days we are just giving it away, by the way heres a bag of money for interviewing us take it, please! Nothing works! Money just appears every day at the door, we are literally swimming in it and when we release the Star Wars Special DVD set later this year... well, Im afraid for our very own lives, you can't breathe money you know? we've tried."
Go ahead MOD my day!
