Now, keep in mind that I love the Wii.  Greatest system ever.  I for one love the FPS controls, I much prefer them over PC and analog controls.  But Battlefront is a completely different style of game then what the Wii is used to.  It is not a duck and cover game such as most shooters out there, it is chaos.  So many shots fly through the air in that game it is insane.  If you see a shot wizz by you, you need to aim at whoever shot that and not have a single error.  And they could be anywhere, usually to the side or behind.  Now try to picture that intense warfare requiring perfect precision and timing with Wii shooter controls.  If you try to turn behind you, there would be a delay in turning, which in that .5 second delay 10 shots could have hit you.  It wouldnt work.  If they worked hard enough it could be done, but it would be very hard to pull off on Lucas Arts part.

well, don't get your hopes up because a battlefront 3 proably isnt even going to come to the wii anyway, most likely it'll be xbox 360 and ps3.

The Wii is the best system ever?  Since when did the forums get so bad that you have to confirm or reconfirm this( I don't believe it is though) so you don't get flamed???  Any game can work well on the Wii as long as you have talented developers who recreate games or create new games altogether for the Wii.

I don't agree.  SWBF could easily be done on the Wii with a great control scheme.  The game would be sweet, and hopefully be built for the Wii from the ground up.

Yeah it could work fine. Just that the controls would have to be tight.

I love the FPS controls too (although I still don't think a mouse can be beaten the Wiimote still pwns a normal controller), I can even turn just as fast as I can with analogue. If there ever was a control issue with the game remember that everyone else would have to contend with it, so its a balanced playing field. I imagine Counter Strike would be the most problematic because I'm not sure any other FPS requires such fast reflexes to play properly, I couldn't even contemplate the clunkiness of the XBOX version.

I don't understand you guys, why do you say that a game won't work on the wii if you never played it?

Many would say that race games wouldn't work, fps wouldn't work, adventure wouldn't work, but well they all do and very nicely (except redsteel lol)

Lets wait and see, personaly I beleave that a fast game like BattleFront would work better with wiimote/nunchuck then with normal controller pad....

To shoot behind you the devs could use the flick the nunchuck thing from MoH:V. Or something else new...

The posibilities are endless
