LucasArts has released a new batch of screenshots for the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PS2, PS3, X360, Wii, NDS, PSP), offering a glimpse at the game's Force powers and lightsaber-centric combat.

Due out on September 16, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions of The Force Unleashed were developed by LucasArts, with Krome Studios on the PlayStation 2, Wii and PSP versions and n-Space handling the Nintendo DS iteration.

This is the only "next-gen" game that I'm having a tough time deciding what version to get. Previous cross platform games usually had a clear victor but now, I dunno if I want the Wii version or the 360 version.

I hope the wiimote lightsaber controls are done right... I love the finishing moves in No More Heroes but I keep wanting a little more direct control over the lightsaber.

Those don't all look like 360 pictures, both from quality and content. I thought the jedi dualing feature was Wii only (and would explain why Mace is in them). Also the dual screenshots show the Wii style A and B button graphics.
