Forums - Nintendo - LucasArts really want you to buy Wii version of Star Wars! Would you?

They are putting the game out on every platform except PC, wow. If you are going to go through the trouble of putting it out on every platform, why not go all the way and make a PC version from the 360 version like so many other games have?

OT: I will have to wait to find out what features are on what version of the game before I decide if I want to buy the game and what platform to get it on.

Wii version has duel mode, that's the one for me!



BAM! There it is!

Actually, everyone who has said something about K is wrong. K is 2 in 10th (2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2) and is 1024. It is commonly misused on the internet as 1000, but its real meaning is 1024.

Ever heard of km/kilometers, or kg/kilograms?

 exactly.

bdbdbd is correct, "K" is Kelvin

k however refers to 1000.

when coupled with B (Byte) then it gets confusing but it is generally assumed kB means 1000 bytes (even if it is 1024 in reality)

that's only for computers, dude. Kilo is 1000, BYTE is a unit of storage consisting of 8 bits, bits have a value of either 1 or 0. since all computers work in binary, anything you add to it is going to work on that base 2 you were trying to describe, it moves up in scale of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc. The reason Kilo is used is simply because many storages need to use a certain amount of that 1024 for error checking adn basic drive information. hence the usable amount of storage comes out often closer to 1000, and there isn't really any abrriviation for 1024, so KB, is close enough

if anything, you're idea is totally backwards, as KB is actually incorrectly used, the real number is 1024, and the real meaning of K is 1000.

My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Finally, someone gets the definition of "k" correct :)

In PC terms ---> k = 1024 (i.e. kilobyte = 1024bytes), and M = 1024*1024 (i.e. megabyte).

Computers do not use base 10 like us humans, but instead base 2 (binary). 2^10 = 1024, which is usually close enough to 1000 for most people to consider them the same.

...

But yeah - when dealing in resolution, k 'probably' drops back to the "human" meaning --> i.e. $10k = $10,000 or 10k pixels = 10,000 pixels.

Its a 2% error when the wrong meaning is picked either way, so it doesn't make a huge difference.

Of course a Star Wars game on the Wii will sell. I mean look at Lego Star Wars haha. This is what the hardcore base has been wanting for a long time now. I have a feeling it'll pull a Guitar Hero on Wii. Not open as big as the other versions but have huge legs like GH3.

I know I'm buying it day one. I really could care less that I could get it on 360 and have better physics and graphics. That excitement will last me all but one glance.

Are you saying that this title will be supply constrained on Wii? Because that's pretty much the only reason GH3 on Wii didn't beat Xbox360 and PS3 from the start.


 Did I use the word supply constrained?  No.  So don't assume.



im getting this game the first week it comes out



My friends are already making reservations to play this at my home.

This title should easily outsell PS360 counterparts. Then again, if it gets really crappy reviews... but so far hands-on are pretty much positive.
