In making the announcement, Bluemouth Interactive Director, David Provan said, “In December 2009, we released a blue Lightsaber accessory for Anakin Skywalker and a green Lightsaber for Yoda to enable compatible gameplay with Star Wars videogames on Wii™.”
Bluemouth Interactive now has an all-new Star Wars Darth Vader Light-up Lightsaber accessory for simultaneous retail release with the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II videogame for Wii™. “All the publicity, marketing and awareness for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II’s launch has translated into significant demand for the game at retail.” said Provan. “Customers have been able to purchase the Darth Vader Light-up Lightsaber from the very first day the new videogame released. From a retail perspective, nothing beats having a hot, new accessory available for sale at the same time a videogame launches.”
“Bluemouth has high expectations for the Darth Vader Light-up Lightsaber” said Provan. “We think Star Wars fans will love battling in their own lounge rooms with this exciting product. This accessory, along with the many other accessories in our broad range, heightens the video-gaming experience for game-players.”
