Dude, the game has TOY LIGHTSABER PLAY.
Toy Fencing. Way better than Boxing. Cuz fences cover more area than a simple box.
ShyGuy:
So $50 MSRP. instead of the Wii Play "$10 game with a $40 controller" it's going to be "$30 game with a $20 controller?"

This is interesting. I had no idea this kind of thing was cheap enough now. I did some reading up on the technology and found this pdf at InvenSense that claims that these MEMS gyroscopes were about $60 apiece just a few years ago and predicts that mass market applications would depend on getting that cost below $10. It also claims that accelerometers like the Wii remote's didn't really take off until they hit $3.
