EGM Rumor Mill: stolen support and Star Wars sabers

Obi Wii Kenobi

The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly has some interesting bits of information for us Wii fanatics. First, it seems as though several developers have actually turned from PS3 development over to the Wii, in reaction to Nintendo's strong E3 showing. Many appear to be frightened of the high cost of development and consumer price point of Sony's behemoth, and the Wii's familiar Gamecube-like architecture is surely a sight for sore programming eyes.

Secondly, LucasArts seem to have finally heard Nintendo fans' cries for a lightsaber game; word on the street is that they're already on their way with a new exclusive Star Wars game for the Wii, based heavily on lightsaber mechanics. Thank the Force.
