'Range of creative possibilities'
"When you look at someone playing an Xbox 360 game you see his face is really hard and both hands are stuck on the controller. When you see someone playing Wii, you always see a smile and movement. Sometimes crazy movement, but it is OK."
US video game titan Electronic Arts and the game division of entertainment icon Disney have studios devoted to making Wii games.
The release of the Disney film "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" was accompanied by a Wii game of the same name that lets players use controllers to pretend to be sword-fighting buccaneers.
The head of the LucasArts, the game division for "Star Wars" series creator George Lucas, told AFP a Wii game that lets players wield virtual light sabers is on the horizon.
"The Wii opens up a range of creative possibilities for new and innovative game design," said Disney Interactive Studios vice president Craig Relyea.
"Our Pirates of the Caribbean game for the Wii lets you slash and thrust with the Wii remote just as someone would do using a sword for combat. We wouldn't have been able to offer those controls on any other platform."
