Star Wars The Clone Wars VideoGame Tie In Thingy of Doom

http://wii.ign.com/articles/877/877779p1.html

According to IGN we are getting a Wii/Ds title for the release of the Clone Wars.

Here's hoping Wii gets a full-on action-swingarific LS Gam.

 

I'm assuming this is the Clone Wars game we heard about years ago, the one that would be the first handheld game to be developed by LucasArts. Either way, I'm glad because I have a Wii and a DS.

 

The Clone Wars animation would make sense for the wii given it's graphic style. And hopefully we'll have even more lightsaber control then force unleashed as this one is Nintendo only.

I am very curious what the storyline could be about.

 

The Wii-version of TFU doesn't have much to do with the other versions of TFU, so I don't see how that makes any difference.

 

Ditto here. If this new Clone Wars game is gonna give me my Lightsaber-Wiimote fix, then it looks like I might be picking up TFU for the Xbox 360, after all. Full HDMI resolution is a very luscious, tempting decision-making factor.

Wonder how radically different the DS version's gonna be, storywise, from the Wii build? If so, I can see myself grabbing both of them. If not, I'll likely just stick with the Wii incarnation.

 

You do realize that the Wii version of TFU isn't even the same game as the PS3 and 360 versions, right? It's not even being made by the same developer. It's going to be total crap. I get your want for a saber game for the Wii, but TFU is not the one you've been waiting for.

 

It's more the alternate level-content for the Wii TFU that I had in mind, there -- although there was a recent hands-on of the Wiimote controls in last week or so on G4, and they gave it high marks, as did IGN last month.

That said, the Xbox 360 version is the one I've been leaning more towards from the beginning anyhow, but calling the Wii version "crap" is a bit premature until we see the final build.

 

Anyone notice this:

Well, it looks like Lucasarts is give the Wii a time to shine here.

 

I'm not to sure how I feel about this game right now. I don't know how I feel about a SW game exclusively to Nintendo. Xbox has always been one of the main consoles with SW games. Although Im pumped for the show, Im not a big fan of the animation style of the show, let alone the video game.

But, it's more star wars, so bring it on.

lol

 

Yeah Rogue Squadron was amazing, but I was never a big fan of Bounty Hunters. I can see this game being very toned down for children. Once we see the first screenshot, or the first clip, I'll know how I feel about it. I imagine it'll handle the lightsaber remote better than TFU is rumoured to have.

 

Bounty Hunter Came out on the PS2 too

I was really sad when I saw Star Wars+Game+Tie in the title and it wasn't an announcement for a certain game.

 

Hmmm...I might have to disagree with your assessment there, 2nd, of the GCN having the superior overall SW library. From my experience, here's how the two libraries stack up, side-by-side:

Xbox:
Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic II
Republic Commando
Jedi Outcast
Jedi Academy
Starfighter: Special Edition
Jedi Starfighter
The Clone Wars
Battlefront
Battlefront II
Revenge of the Sith
LEGO Star Wars
LEGO Star Wars II
Obi-Wan (a major, dripping, pus-filled melanoma-blemish on the record of humanity, granted)


GameCube
Rogue Leader
Rebel Strike
The Clone Wars
Bounty Hunter
Jedi Outcast
Jedi Academy
LEGO Star Wars
LEGO Star Wars II

I mean, make no mistake, I still loves me some GCN Star Wars-action bigtime, and the two Rogue Squadron games are probably the best SW console spaceship sim-shooters there are, no question; but the Xbox has it all over the 'Cube when you factor in the Knights of the Old Republics, Republic Commando, the Battlefronts, et cetera. Wonderful exclusives, particularly if you also didn't own a PS2 at the same time, and/or weren't a PC-gamer.

Both systems boasted games like The Clone Wars and the Jedi Outcast series, but if you had an Xbox, it also further obviated the need to buy a PS2 to get your Starfighter-fix in.

Double-win, right there.

When you automatically drop out overlapping titles such as The Clone Wars, the Kyle Katarn games, and the LEGO games, most of which exist on all three major consoles, you still need an Xbox -- again, assuming you're not a PC-gamer -- to get the full Star Wars console experience. (Racer Revenge excluded, obviously.)

(Obi-Wan gives breast cancer to passing Chihuahuas no matter how you tally it, though, so let's please expunge it from the collective memory of mankind.)

 

I take it im the only person alive that loved SWbi-Wan then?

 

I liked the game but it wasn't all it could've been. By the box, I thought it might have been post TPM because of Obi Wan with the green saber.

Also, the guy who did Obi's voice was terrible. When I beat the game and it went into that "Trainspotting" esque Star Wars rant about "Who needs reasons when you've got a lightsaber"....

... I almost cried inside. I love SW and I love trainspotting, but the two just DONT mix.

 

Ah, I see what you were getting at, now. It's cool.

In that breakdown, I was deliberately handicapping more in favor of a non-PC-owning, non-PS2-owning gamer, but it's true that there exists a fair bit of title-overlap (the Knights of the Old Republics, the Kyle Katarns, et al) if that's factored in.

Agree about the Rogue Squadrons being the sole console-exclusives on either side...or rather, the sole console-exclusives that don't make one chew open one's antecubital arteries to make the pain stop.
