A listing of the booths at E3 2012 has placed LucasArts under the “MMO” category for the Wii U. This is either a data entry mistake, or LucasArts is working on a massively-multiplayer online game for the platform. Based on recent projects, it could be Star Wars: The Old Republic, but maybe that’s just me being overly hopeful.

    David you gotta stop! This is to much! I’m gonna explode!!!

  • Gery

    David does NOT gotta stop. David must needs post MORE. :)

    I think the monster in the closet in terms of the Wii U will be MMOs. It’s not something people has talked much about, but could be a HUGE weapon for the Wii U.

      I’m not a fan of world of warcraft but I can imagine the numbers of subscribers and owners the wii u would rake in.

      The Sim’s is going to be the shiz on the Wii U!

  • Craig

    I’ve always wanted to play a decent Star Wars game… I bought Knights of the Old Republic on PC but although my PC was new at the time, it wouldn’t run.

  • Trulaw

    A MMO? meh.

    • Naner

      While I’m no big fan of MMOs, we have to admit that capability would really set it apart from other consoles.

      an mmo would be epic! because a real mmo like WoW and tOR is never seen on consoles so yeah it’d be pretty big

  • Soeroah

    I would laugh and fork over my cash if it wound up being a Monkey Island MMO.

  • Cyberninja

    Its star wars battlefront 3, if it was bioware then it would be SW:TOR

    • D2K

      Aww man……one can only hope and pray. The Star Wars Battlefront series was the best Star Wars series I’ve ever played. Just brilliantly done. Every aspect of Star Wars tied into one game.

      The coolest thing was the ability to be in space battles, fly your X-Wing into the hangar of an Imperial Star Destroyer, and start running around in there! The you can make your way to he engine room, set up some charges on the main reactor, and destroy the ship from within. Then get back to your X-Wing and out of here before the ship blows. Or you could destroy it from the outside systematically.

      You could basically play as anyone from the series. You could play as a sith, a jedi, or a rebel. The game was amazing and I shutter to think how it would look in advanced HD graphics and incorporating the Wii U controller into the gameplay.

      lucasarts did help with swtor considering that they hold the rights to star wars (george lucas => lucasfilms => lucasarts(see the link? LOL))

      but u agree on D2K star wars battlefront 2 was the most epic game i ever played i used to play with friends on pc over the internet and we would own in space battles and you can just imagine what the tablet can do with the game i’d buy directly (dammnn i’m gonna need a LOT of money in the next months new consoles and a lot of new games :p)

  • jobro

    I think SWTOR is a bad game for PC.I was very disappointed.Too much point and click , too few action^^.SWBF III as MMO would be interesting :D But I´d maybe buy TOR for Wii U because you have better controls for that game than with the PC

    • mkdhdh

      haven’t played knights of the old republic? it was almost all point and click so that was kinda the point + WoW is kinda like that to :p

  • Tim

    I would love for star wars battlefront 3 to be made for the wii u, I loved the first 2 games

    • D2K

      ^ What he said ^

    When I first saw the Wii U controller last year, I said, “PC-quality MMOs on Wii U.”

  • Tim

    Could this be Star Wars Battlefront Online that was rumored to be developed by Slant six in 2010

  • LaLaLa

    I have a great idea! Star Wars Battlefront 3 with a free download code for Star Wars: The Old Republic Wii U version on the Nintendo U Shop!

  • Dr Fell

    Star Wars Galaxies 2: only for the Wii U. lolz
