Rogue Squadron was in development for the Wii

Wii News | Information surfaces as Factor 5's ex-employees file lawsuit.
Marinij.com reports that a Star Wars: Rogue Squadron game was in development for the Wii before Factor 5, the company behind the series, closed its American-based development studio.

This information comes as a lawsuit was filed against Factor 5 by ex-employees who are seeking unpaid wages. Allegedly, Factor 5 fraudulently transferred assets to a company named Blue Harvest before declaring bankruptcy so that they could avoid paying employees.

"We allege in the suit that Factor 5 and its three founders fraudulently transferred assets, including source code and other intellectual property to Blue Harvest, which is now known as White Harvest," James Smith, a lawyer representing the employees, told Marinij.com.

Apparently the lawsuit contains a list of 69 claims for unpaid wages totalling over $900,000, as well as allegations that former Factor 5 operators own and manage White Harvest.

Interesting, as I'm pretty sure there was also a "Rogue Squadron Trilogy" pack in the works for the Xbox way-back-when.

You think they would have been a bit more subtle when looking for a way to transfer assets...
