Can’t believe people haven’t posted this. Here’s the official press release:

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. Sept. 18, 2007 - LucasArts today revealed that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will come to the Wii home videogame system from Nintendo next spring, offering owners the unique chance to live out their Jedi fantasies by wielding the Wii Remote as a lightsaber while using the Nunchuk controller to torment foes with their Force powers.

The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The game’s expansive story is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

The Wii version, in development by Krome Studios, will also add an exclusive duel mode in which players can compete head-to-head with their friends to determine the ultimate Jedi Master.

“The Wii is a great platform for The Force Unleashed, because the console’s motion-oriented controllers really bring the game to life,” said Jim Ward, President of LucasArts. “We’ve worked hard to make the Wii version of the game unique in order to truly let you unleash the Force.”

Also notice the exclusive head to head matches you can have. Star Wars and Wii fans our dreams have been fulfilled. And people thought Lucasarts wouldn’t try to capitalize on this dream. Now here’s to hoping they make a damn good game. Fuck yea buying this.

I was wondering what it said on G4 saying, “The Force is heading to the wii." At first I thought yeah great finally a star wars game for the wii but what is it? Then when I saw that SW the FU is on the wii I was almost going to shed tears of joy! A great game in development is going wii bound. It makes me hope that some of the best game companies out there do their best with the wii because it has opened up limitless possiblites for new games.

I still don’t see how the Wii could run it, they would have to take out so much stuff... the game was pushing both the 360 and ps3. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Awesome!
