So what if the Wii can’t handle the awesome ‘next-generation’ physics engine the other consoles will enjoy when Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is released?

LucasArts announced today that Krome Studios is developing a version of the game for the Nintendo console, and players will finally get to use the Wiimote for its intended purpose — as a lightsaber. ‘The sword-swinging action will be exclusive to the Wii version, and even then, it will only be available in an exclusive “duel mode.” The description in the release says that this duel mode will be a multiplayer affair.”

The game in question is the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which was also announced today (previous versions of the game have been known about for some time, through official and unofficial channels). Krome Studios is handling the Wii, PS2, and PSP versions of the game while LucasArts is developing the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version internally. n-Space is also handling a Nintendo DS version of the game.

But the sword-swinging action will be exclusive to the Wii version, available in the main game and an exclusive “duel mode.” The description in the release says that this duel mode will be a multiplayer affair.
