Woah! Say what?!?! It looks like the developers of the game Star Wars: The Clone Wars did in fact know about the Motion plus attachment before it’s E3 debut, contrary to popular knowledge that nobody from LucasArts knew about this beforehand. Producer Ken Fox from Krome, who has been working on Lightsaber Duels for the Wii has stated:

Yes, Nintendo did give us a heads-up about MotionPlus. As far as I know, MotionPlus won’t be available until 2009, so it won’t be in our game since it launches in November 2008. We feel the original remote enables fans to live out the fantasy of wielding the Wii remote like a Lightsaber. We’re very proud of the experience that Lightsaber Duels provides.

Oh well, I figure that there will eventually be a Star Wars game that will feature 1:1 light saber control. I guess we will all have to wait for a realistic light saber game later than sooner, but again a motion plus-less Wii remote is still better than dual analog sticks.
