Nintendo Wii/DS News | LucasArts Confirms New Lego Star Wars

Following earlier speculation of Lego Star Wars Complete coming to Nintendo's duo of Wii and DS, LucasArts has now confirmed that Traveller's Tales is indeed working on the game to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars movies. Interestingly enough, the DS edition is specified as being built from the ground up, being readied for a Spring 2008 release, which will be a huge sigh of relief for those that were frustrated with the buggy original DS games.

Now fans can relive all six movies in the one game!

"As we usher in the next generation of videogame consoles, LucasArts is leading the way in family entertainment. We're proud of the phenomenal success of LEGO Star Wars II and how it delivered all the fun, humour and action of the Original Trilogy to the entire family. Now, with The Complete Saga, we're excited to finally offer the entire saga playable in one package for the first time ever."
- Jim Ward, president of LucasArts.

"LucasArts was an amazing partner on LEGO Star Wars II, and working with them on The Complete Saga continues to be a great experience. We're also thrilled to be focusing on next-generation consoles and creating content that plays to the strength of each system."
- Tom Stone, director of the game at Traveller's Tales.

From the sound of it, sadly the Wii and DS versions will not include the online capabilities found in the forthcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 editions, but will instead "...result in the most interactive LEGO Star Wars gaming experience yet," thanks to their innovative control systems. The game will take players through 36 levels in the Story Mode, complete with revamped levels and an amalgamation of characters from all movies, distributed between all chapters.

Expect more details very soon...
