One of our affiliates, Nintendo Wii Zone is reporting on a couple of rumors originating in the latest issue of EGM. The rumors have a high chance of being true. However, they are still just rumors.

First, it seems that third-party developers have had enough of Sony and its over-priced junk. Rumor has it that developers are quickly jumping off the PS3 ship and unto the Wii ship. High production costs and difficult development cycles are cited as the primary reasons. True or not, I do expect this to happen in the long run. The PS3 simply is not a viable platform to do business on.

Second, LucasArts apparently heard the demands of the many Wii fans. LucasArts is now deep underway in delivering an exclusive Star Wars game for the Wii. The game will apparently take advantage of the Wii controller’s motion sensors, the rumble feature and the excellent “Depth of Sound” feature. The controller will essentially act as a Lightsaber!
