"I'm sorry for leaving you baby! Do you still love me?"

Guess who's back? Well, you probably saw the logo above so no sense in asking.

It is official! Factor 5 is back and developing for Nintendo hardware once again. If you have already forgotten, Factor 5 developed Star Wars: Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike for the Nintendo Gamecube. I owned, at one point, both copies of the game and I loved them; despite Rebel Strike's goober-tastic ground mission system. IGN says they are developing a game for the Nintendo Wii. Could it be Pilot Wings, as some may rumour? Or perhaps something different?

I wouldn't mind a completely new IP. I've been in the mood lately for a flying game where you dispense an immense amount of bullets and/or lasers and missiles -- in space. But it doesn't have to be Star Wars themed. Just as long as it's fun and has good multiplayer.

And have controls that don't suck. When they do release a new game, it is safe to say everyone will be paying close attention to the control scheme and how well it is implemented within the game. This time around Factor 5 gets to play with the acclaimed Wiimote instead of the SIXAXIS (which is not acclaimed as much). Even with a better controller, will motion controls remain the bane of Factor 5? We'll just have to see.
