Lucas Arts Teams Up With Nintendo


Kotaku is reporting that Lucas Arts, LLC and Nintendo are joining together to bring Star Wars to Wii. The first release from this partnership is Super Star Wars for Super Nintendo. It was released today on the Virtual Console. They will also be bringing Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi to the Virtual Console in the next few weeks. All of these titles will be available for 800 Nintendo Points.

The arrival of the three games will be accompanied by additional Star Wars-themed content for other Wii channels throughout the week. The Check Mii Out Channel will have a Star Wars character creation contest, while on the Everybody Votes Channel users can vote on Star Wars related questions.

"Our expanded partnership with LucasArts brings the Star Wars and Nintendo universes together," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "These three Super Star Wars games represent fantastic additions to the growing Virtual Console library, and the exclusive Star Wars content on the other Wii Menu channels is sure to have people from different generations having fun and interacting with one another."
