'Lightsaber' add-on unveiled for Wii

Wii gamers will soon be able to play their Star Wars titles with an actual 'Lightsaber' rather than the Wii Remote after Competition Pro announced it is to launch the add-on this Friday.

The Light Sword, named to avoid any copyright issues, will be compatible with all Wii games. This includes Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and the forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

The Light Sword will be sold as a twin pack, featuring both a green and red sword for those who want to partake in duel battles, and they operate by sliding the Wii Remote into the sword's handle.

The swords, which boast motion-activated lights, will go on sale for £19.99.

Wierd.. Just another add on you have to buy to play a Wii game.. I dont care how cheap the Wii is.. The crap they come out with to play their games.. Is way more expensive than a Ps3/360...

The Wii is the biggest Gimmick ever.. Its like a bad Infomercial

I think that if the PS3 did a commercial just like the Wii showing off the PSeye, it would get a lot more popular. You can do a lot of the same things.

Still, very gimmicky.

True video chat isnt New.. But none of my Buddies have a webcam for laptops or desktops..

Video chat with up to 6 peeps on a console is new.. 360 or Wii cant do that..

Its cool to see where some of my Clan mates live and what not.. and to see there game setup

10 - The

360 does support video chat.

Back on topic, this addition to the Wii is great, and probably fun, but i doubt it will work how you'd expect.

I would get it for the Wii, but the PS3 version looks awesome, plus i'm fed up with my 360 RRoD'n
