Surely Kuju have access to the online tools though? Kuju London are working on Battalion Wars II after all, and that's online.

Pretty much, the One Year War is the Japanese equivalent of the battle of Hoth. Guaranteed game seller.

The idea of swinging a beam sabre or heat hawk with the wiimote sounds cool though, if they implement that.

I might be wrong, but one suspects that a lightsabre game is being developed somewhere...

If this lightsabre game made THAT sound from the Wiimote and controlled OK it would be huge :)

One more than suspects there will be a lightsabre section in a forthcoming Star Wars Wii title...

That just means this specific Star Wars game won't. :D Perhaps because somebody else somewhere is working on a Star Wars game that is exactly that - Wii Lightsaber!!

I continue to have faith. Its far too obvious to not be made at some point.

And on that day, I shall dip my toe in the Wii ;)

I think it's cool because it resembles the display on the DeLorean's time circuits more than anything else.

Before clicking the link I was thinking in my head "Giant metal robots must be involved."

And lo and behold ...
