Krome, developers of the upcoming Star Wars The Clone Wars game for the Wii, have revealed that Nintendo warned them about Wii MotionPlus before E3.

LucasArts has announced its first next-gen title with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, PSP and DS action title due in Spring 2008, featuring a Wii exclusive duel mode that will let players take part in a light saber battle using the Wii Remote.
