In an article covering some of the history of LucasArts, Kotaku has revealed that the company was creating a Wii U game code-named Wingman, based on some of LucasArts’s old TIE-Fighter and X-Wing titles. Wingman later morphed into a project that was tentatively called Version Two, which was planned to be released as a precursor to the company’s reintroduction of Star Wars Battlefront. Neither version of the game ever saw the light of day, however, the link above contains HD footage from Wingman, showing a smattering of the vehicles that could be controlled. Until a great Star Wars action title is released on Wii U, Nintendo fans will simply have to try to get their Star Wars fix from Star Wars Pinball and Angry Birds: Star Wars
I don’t want to hear it! Lalalalala ( puts in fetal position sucking his thumb)
IKR. Now that Electrons have the starwars franchise……..
Interesting.
I take back my reply.
Make me sad….
Is Wii U getting Battlefront 3? I haven’t heard anything about platforms for that game.
So far there’s no word on what platforms are getting it, but I wouldn’t hold your breath. ;/
It’s an EA game, no chance!
Disney likes Nintendo, Disney will force EA to put it on Wii U.
That sucks. It looks like it could have turned out to be a fun MP game.
Damn you George Lucas!!!!
FUCK! Why George Lucas has to ruin everything!
Now it makes sense why EA was so keen on getting Star Wars. They heard a cool game was in development exclusively for Wii U and had to put a stop to it. Fucking EA #jk
Dont need to say it is a joke :)
I know you are joking, but it really is shitty situation, because there is not much of a chance that major Star Wars game will come to WiiU. But on a bright side there is lots of killer exclusives on their way for WiiU.
Disney is EA’s boss when it comes to Starwars, Disney gave EA the rights to make Starwars games, so its Disneys choice what games go on what system and Disney and Nintendo have a great relationship. Disney will force EA to put it on the Wii U.

The game(s) looked amazing. How sad. I wonder what we can expect in the form of a Star Wars game now.
How can people kill off such a solid game development team.
Here is hoping Nintendo fans don’t cry for battle front either. I am ignoring EA like the plague.
Perhaps EA could salvage this in the future.
Disney owns Lucasarts, I doubt EA can have the final say in anything.
Seeing as how EA owns the rights to Star Wars games but Disney holds the rights to Star Wars as a whole might mean they could force EA to develop this game for Wii U anyway.
^this
Holy F***ink Shit!!!
That’s one of my all-time favorite PC games! (Tie-Fighter)
This is the most exciting news I’ve heard in a long time!! :D !!!!
I saw the footage…I’m not so sure… :(
just continue development with 1313 for god’s sake, that game has potential.. -_-
EA doesn’t think it has potential for lauch dlc, dlc season pass and dlc for alternate endings and last and not least DLC for multiplayer.
that’s no HD footage of wingman that is the ominous “version 2”
