May the Force Be With You....And Your Wii

I know I don't typically write about things until I've had a chance to test them out, let alone reviewing video games.  But as I sat here this evening reading various tech things, an interesting article came across my screen that has made me giddy.  Seems like in the spring of 2008 I'll be able to wield my Wii Remote as nothing less than a lightsaber!

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.

Oh baby.  What person who grew up with Star Wars hasn't imagined the day when they could hear the hum of a lightsaber that they were controlling.  This type of game is what the Wii was made for!  Done right, this should be an awesome game to play!
