I think what this game would need is a specialised “wand” that looks and feels like a lightsaber. After playing Wii sports at a friends place, the most noticable issue is that certain movements get cut-off or not detected at all. Ie: Wii Boxing. So this “wand” would need a whole bunch of sensors in it, so that every tilt and motion of the “saber” is correctly represented on screen. I also agree with Phil, in that having access to other force powers via the nun-chuck would be awesome. Although I’d go with the Wii-mote for these, as I wouldn’t want the little nun-chuck plugged into my saber, as the cord tends to get all twisted. And ofcourse put a lanyard or trigger loop on that “wand”. Finally, I too will immediatly drop the cash to buy a Wii and the game even for $100 bucks. Total dream come true.

They can simulate the wielding of a lightsaber taking the info from the accelerometer and direction of the wiimote ‘pointer’. When moving the wiimote slowly you woudn’t slash your saber but when you move it fast, and depending from which point you started accelerating and the direction of the ‘pointer’ you will perform an attack, for instance, up-left to down-right would perform a diagonal attack, left to right an horizontal attack and so on, and the defense stance would we acomplished by pressing a button and a direction, to cover from upside-down attacks or side-to-side attacks. Remember how the lightsaber was used in Jedi Outcast? Isn’t the wiimote used also as a mouse? Then let’s smooth it up to get a mixture of Jedi Outcast in the mechanics (more dynamically) and the field of view in Red Steel, in that you have to move your weapon to one border to rotate or just use the nunchaku. You could also bring up your saber by pressing a button to turn it on or holding a button to attack/defend. Collision detect would be easy since you would know where the handle is and what the ‘vector’ of the saber would be depending at which point of the lightsaber attack movement is. The rest is pure maths. Hope you can have a more clear view of the game now. (by the way, defense should be ‘automatic’ if you block in the right direction, and one-touch kills shoud be enabled as well as slicing and lla that gore details we love, hahaha.)

I’m betting that you will have to push a button to hold blades when they clash, and it will probably be the same button to block. This would be a hindrance to some, but it would illiminate blocking or clashing when your trying to do something else.

hey great, except if previous wii games are any indication we’ll just be swinging the controller in one direction for a downward slash and in another for a lateral cut… not so much full immersion as hay guyz check out my new d-pad.

imho.
