RUMOUR: Rogue Squadron Trilogy for Wii
 

EGM is saying that LucasArts has handed over the Rogue Squadron series to a new developer and that that developer will be creating a Rogue Squadron game for Wii which is an updated version of the Rogue Squadron Trilogy (Rogue Squadron on the Nintendo 64 as well as Rogue Squadron 2 Rogue Leader and Rogue Squadron 3 Rebel Strike for the GameCube) with enhanced visuals and Wii controls.

I hope this is VERY true. I'm a big fan of this series and it's what got me to be a member of LucasForums for MANY years... XD

that would be awesome! now if only they'd bring it to the 360 with xbox live multiplayer...

Hold the phone a goddamn minute here! A serious thread? NOWAI! :0

wat

why is there life in this forum

Psh @ talk of 360.

This is a Nintendo bred game series and will stay with Nintendo. Plus it'll be more fun with Wiimote+Nunchuk controls.


And stop being so off-topic, Niner, that's your first warning, two more and you'll be banned temporaraly for a week. *nods*

Better watch out Niner.

Definitely hope this is true. I have not played much of the Rogue Squadron games so I'd love to get the chance to play them on Wii.

the rumors are on xbox 360 too i hope they release them on HD graphics and online...

They are? That wouldn't make sense, especially if the versions of Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike are a straight port with minor enhancedments as has been suggested. Are you sure it's just not 360 players trying to be optimistic? Like how they always expect all the PS3 exclusives to jump ship?

the above quote has fanboi written all over it

Oh hai r15! You still butthurt cause I banned you from my forum?

So far the rumour has only mentioned that the Rogue Squadron Trilogy will be remade for Wii with no mention of any other consoles.

:iceburn:

no. it's all good, my young friend. (i was being sarcastic :) )

I sense drama... yes, much drama under the surface...

Anyway, I'd love a port of the RS trilogy to, well, anywhere. I haven't played that game in years. ('Course, that's also because I have a Mac and I've no money to get Boot Camp... and also because I have had barely any time for video games these days. :p)

I think a lot of people here stopped playing Rogue Squadron after Factor 5 didn't release the PC version of Rogue Leader... which is a shame.

Remind me again, was there a PC version of Battle of Naboo?

Well either way, I really hope LucasArts would release the original Rogue Squadron and Battle for Naboo on Wii VC... and also the Super Star Wars series and Shadows of the Empire and Episode 1 Racer.

So many good Star Wars games that they're not letting us play. Instead they release what? The Force Unleashed?! BAH!

I miss playing RS on my Nin64! :(

That said, I don't own any consoles and don't plan to anytime in the near future, so if it doesn't come out on pc, it looks like I'll miss it.

Battle for Naboo was pretty cool too, I loved the ground missions.

yeah i have battle for naboo on pc. one of my favorite tpm based games. good story too. also a few of the characters are in SWG. :)

i hope they release 360s version :(

This is all just a rumour. But if I were to look at past game rereleases this generation, I'd say if the rumour was true then you won't be seeing a 360 version at all and there's no hope for one so nyah :p

drama? you'll find plenty of drama down there. madness? THIS IS ARESEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you worry about Planet Express, let me worry about blank.


Also, if I hear anything more about this rumour I'll be sure to let ya'll know asap.

Quoted. **** yeah 15. **** yeah.

hate you :P

If true, it should be on 360 [/non fanboy]

Why?

So we will get to play it with decent graphics for one thing, and Xbox Live multiplayer for another.

and the HD graphics and 5.1 dolby sound (with optilink cable) are the best :)

You're honestly telling me the GCN version of Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike doesn't have decent graphics?

What's wrong with you leXX?


I mean, come on, I have a HDTV, I view all kinds of HD media on it, PS3 games, my friends 360 games when he brings it around, Bluray movies...

...and yet Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption still look bloody AWESOME on it despite it being Standard Definition.

The graphics on the GCN and Wii are okay, but wouldn't it be great to play Rogue Squadron with next gen graphics and sound? Who wouldn't?

What next generation graphics? All I see is a higher resolution output with higher resolution textures and some more effects.

What next generation sound? The sound in videogames hasn't improved very much since the last generation.

Are you insane? You are honestly trying to compare Wii graphics with 360 and PS3?

I never said that, I just said High Definition does not equate to great graphics you silly woman.

I never said anything about HD.

Okay then, let me ask you this. What will make Rogue Squadron look better specifically on the 360 over Wii? And don't say "next gen graphics"... we're talking specifics here.

I'm simply going to repeat what I said on msn and leave it at that.

"there is no talking to you honestly. if you can't see that it would be awesome to have rogue squadron on 360 or ps3, and you'd be quite happy to settle for it only on wii in this day and age, then i give up."

edit: And you are a Nintendo fanboy, you just won't admit it.

leXX, it'd be awesome to have a decent Star Wars game on any platform, period. And yup, I'm a Nintendo fanboy... in fact, I'm a Sony and Microsoft fanboy too :p There are lots of PS3 and 360 games I love playing.

Then what the hell are you arguing for?

/slap

When was the last time you saw Aresen this active? Do any of us even remember? It's exciting when it does and I gotta do anything to make it continue.

wait this fight is getting interesting.


hurry bring up the bikinis and the mud :D

Nah, leXX got sick of me trolling her. I could troll you next if you want :p
