San Francisco, Calif. – June 19, 2008 – LucasArts today announced Star Wars: The Clone Wars will blast its way onto the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ in Holiday 2008. Bringing an entirely new look and feel to the galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: The Clone Wars combines the cinematic qualities of the Star Wars movies with state-of-the-art computer-generated imagery from artists at Lucasfilm Animation.

Star Wars™ The Clone Wars™: Lightsaber Duels™, in development by Krome Studios exclusively for the Wii, delivers fun-filled Lightsaber battles for the entire family while it immerses players in the characters, locations, and epic duels from the all-new Star Wars animated TV series. Built from the ground-up for the Wii, Lightsaber Duels features an intuitive motion-controlled combat system that puts the Lightsaber™ weapon in your hand for non-stop fun.

Star Wars™ The Clone Wars™: Jedi Alliance™, developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS by the LucasArts Singapore team in conjunction with Lucasfilm Animation, lets gamers experience the awesome power when two Jedi join forces to fight as one. With an innovative stylus-based input, controlling the Jedi’s movement and engaging in Lightsaber combat has never felt more immersive.

“I’ve been a little confused by WiiWare… The more I look at it, the more I’m confused, because it sort of doesn’t really look like something for independents. At best it’s what we would call a registered developer program. It’s really a way for you to get hold of dev kits and the normal development environment when you’re not signed to a big publisher. Which is very different than what we’re doing with XNA, which is you can just go and download the tools and we’re going to give you a distribution (platform) and the community will manage it. We’re going to completely enable you, versus ‘well, if you kind of work with us we can possibly kind of, back door or grandfather you into some kind of developer program which is a lot like our professional developer program. So, I’m not actually convinced it’s really going to empower the community a whole bunch.” – Microsoft’s Chris Satchell,

Much uproar was caused a few days ago when Nintendo released a new version of Wii firmware, version 3.3. Although people were upset that Nintendo basically seemed to be masking its true intentions to block the Twilight Princess save exploit with a Mii parade function, more frustration was caused knowing that Nintendo was blatantly attacking the Twilight Princess hack. However, it looks like things are already underway for a workaround. Not even a week after the latest Wii update, the homebrew community has managed to find a way to trick code into ignoring the Twilight Princess exploit. Now, how long will it be before Nintendo puts out another update in response to this?

A new trademark on the Japanese trademarks website has popped up. A long time ago, there was a huge rumor that Nintendo would be putting out a magazine channel – something like Nintendo Power…But on your Wii. However, this could turn out to be something to be discussed at E3 or even at a later date, or perhaps not at all.

Update: Earlier this morning, a new Japanese trademark lead many to believe that Nintendo could be bringing an interactive magazine to the Wii. However, a quick investigation on Nintendo’s official Japanese website shows that although the magazine is online, N.O.M. has actually been around for quite some time.

“You can’t use the board to pull off tricks – that’s only done with the remote and nunchuck – but along with the likes of Family Ski, Skate It is further proof that what could be achieved with the new peripheral is fresh and exciting.” -NGamer magazine

I have to admit, this is pretty lame. Not to say that Skate It will be a bad game, though if tricks could be pulled off through the balance board, the game would seem much more intuitive.

Space Invader Get Even was originally thought to be a Wii retail title, but the project is actually going to end up on WiiWare. Digitial distribution of the game obviously means that the price of Space Invaders Get Even will be consideribly lower if it were going to retail outlets, but the actual Wii point price has yet to be revealed.
