Star Wars Lightsaber Duels on Wii

Two new games in the Star Wars series have been announced by LucasArts, one is a Wii exclusive and the other is for Nintendo DS.

Cumbersomely titled Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, the Wii game ties into the new animated movie, aiming to replicate all the duels seen in it.

Features include:

Use the Wiimote to intuitively wield your lightsaber.
Play as famous characters with their own styles and skills, e.g. Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous.
Use the environment to your advantage, cut down pillars and use Force Throws.
Several locations from the Star Wars universe used in-game, such as Tatooine.

Mmm. Looks like it has potential assuming the developers actually put some effort into it.

Eh, I'm more excited for The Force Unleashed.

I guess this means that Star Wars: Force Unleashed won't have the duels.

Depends on how well the wiimote is used, if not very well I'm not interested. I was thinking more of a first person view.

Personally I see better reasons to make a video game based of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi than any of this crap. Still I'm looking forward to a real DK, Sadness, and Ultraviolent Madworld.

Force unleashed looks way better than this.
