Star Wars Episode 1: Racer comes to Switch, PS4 on June 23
Star Wars Episode 1: Racer will be broadcast on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on Tuesday, June 23, developer Aspyr said in a Tuesday tweet after it was late in May at the last minute.
“We’ll see you on the racetrack,” the company wrote.
Episode 1: Racer was originally released on N64 and PC as a link The dark threat As early as 1999, the film’s excellent pod racing sequence – which is not quite as good as the climatic lightsaber battle – was converted into a full-blown game. It is developed by Aspyr for modern consoles that also take care of the youngest Jedi outcast and Jedi Academy Remasters.
Jake Lloyd and Lewis MacLeod, who portrayed the impish future galactic warlord Anakin Skywalker and the massive idiot Sebulba in The Phantom Menace, played these characters in the game.
It costs $ 15, which is a bit expensive for a 21-year-old game without online multiplayer, but you can indulge in the old-school joy that is split-screen multiplayer. It also has all of these cool Star Wars music and sound effects, 25 playable characters, and tracks spanning eight planets. The toughest route also offers a sneak peek of Anakin’s future as it takes place in a volcano (more on Baroonda than Mustafar).
“It’s a great game and it has an emotional resonance,” producer James Vicari told StarWars.com in April. “We really believe in bringing fans back together with something they love, or connecting a new audience with something they may have missed.”
The game got a PS2 sequel, Racer Revenge, in 2002 and it was republished on PS4 in 2016.
