Nintendic is reporting some controls for the Nintendo Wii version of The Force Unleashed. Previous reviews have noted that this will not necessarily be the definitive lightsaber/Wii remote game some of us might have hoped for, but it's still supposed to be a really good time. See below for an excerpt:

"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will make extensive use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck's motion-sensing capabilities. As you'd expect, swinging the Wii Remote left-to-right, right-to-left, up, down or jabbing to forward all re-create the basic light saber actions. As we already discovered it isn't 1:1, but GamePro reports that it is still a satisfyingly immersive experience. Other more elaborate attacks include Force Power (pushing the Nunchuck forward); Force Repulse (Hold Z+A and swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuck downwards), and the Wii-exclusive Force Malestrom (Simultaneously press and hold Z+A, then swing down with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck continuously)."
