Star Wars Heritage Pack Is Getting A Physical Release, Includes 7 Games (North America)

If I didn't already have the physical copies of the double packs of Racer/Commando & Jedi Academy/Jedi Outcast I'd totally jump on this!

Ooooh, I got Racer and Jedi Outcast digitally on sale awhile back, but 5 of the games being on cart is tempting. Might import this.

I already have both KOTOR games, Republic Commando and Episode I Racer so I'll probably pass on this one.

Nonetheless it's an awesome value, and I really hope we see more of this. So many collections of N64/GC/Wii-era games only include 2-3 games when more (sometimes many more) could easily be included.

I wish the KOTOR games would get a normal (not limited edition) physical release. I'd like to play them but that file size...

Was never really interested in star-wars (funny since I'm a space lover) but having 7 games in one is pretty cool (even if you have to download 2) and I wish more companies would do these mega-3d-collections cough cough Sonic 3d collection cough *cough

I own 3 of these, but would prefer a physical collection. So......

I was about to start cussing till I read the 'does not include the KotoR games'. Those are still prizes in my physical collection.

Wow, this is one hell of a good deal.

I have each of these from when LRG released them individually. It's unfortunate the KotOR games are download-only, but they would've put the file size close to 40GB anyhow and nobody uses 64GB cartridges, not even Nintendo themselves.

Still hoping for the classic battlefront and rogue squadron games some day. Also wouldn’t mind the original lego star wars games.

This is tempting. I own KOTOR on mobile but I haven’t touched any of the others. May have to get this.

I feel bad for Switch owners who will have to deal with the mess that is Kotor 2.

Oh, wow that is a great price, for a great collection of titles, and physical too? Sold!

Torius Chord approved. 😂
Just Let the Girl Speak! 💫

I cannot believe they are getting me to buy these games for a fourth time (third time on the Switch).

This is pretty awesome! I've started to prefer physical releases that come out a while after the digital release since then we could get the final patched game on the gamecard, though not always.

Patches is literally the only reason I'm holding off on buying Chrono Cross physically on Switch.

This reminds me, in the late 90's I bought a 6 pack of Star Wars games on CD. Think I still have the discs in the box buried in my basement somewhere. Maybe I should dig it out?

For my Switch, I only have the Academy/Outcast release. Commando/Racer is on my list of "soon", so I might just pick this up.

I'm only seeing the download code on Amazon, not the physical release. It is the lower price, but...

Don't see it on Amazon just the Digital but it's not complete.

Still no DLC on that KOTOR 2 game?

Impressive, most impressive... 😎

Isn't KotoR2 broken?

@Bomberman64

maybe you know the answer to my question:

if you get a physical copy after an update comes out, does that physical copy have the update, or no? is there an attempt to replace the copies in stores with updated copies? is there a way to tell?

thanks!

@RudeAnimat0r No. It just doesn't contain the final DLC that wraps up the story that they promised would come. It's still the original game with improvements.

@Bizzyb Which honestly sucks. I hope something happens so Switch owners get that dlc.

the only star wars fps i ever played was dark forces II and its not here 😕 podracer was mindblowing on dreamcast, maybe the fastest game id ever seen (only fzero x could compete at the time)

No Rogue Squadron?

Sure, don't even include Dark Forces or Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (and its expansion pack, Mysteries of the Sith) in this compilation. After all, they were part of the same series as Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, and were in fact the games that took place before the events of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.

The way I see it, you can't have those two games without Dark Forces and Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. After all, they introduced us to Kyle Katarn, the guy who stole the plans for the first Death Star in the Expanded Universe (now known as the Legends Timeline), before Rogue One came out. He also somehow became a Jedi and defeated several Dark Jedi, despite no prior training, basically making him a Mary Sue before Rey from Disney's Sequel Trilogy was ever accused of being such (yet no one ever gave Kyle Katarn any flak for that).

And while we're talking about Star Wars games, what about the Rogue Squadron games? Or The Force Unleashed II? And for good measure, what about the original Battlefront games (finally porting them from the PS2 and Xbox platforms to the Switch), or the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade made by Sega (finally porting it to consoles)? Frankly, those would be the Star Wars games that I would care to play.

@-wc- Not in my experience, but maybe things have changed.

Wow that’s a nice deal for 7 games.

Or, hear me out...

Just wait for a steep sale for the 3 best games and save like $45

@Heartless666 According to the article;

"There are the seven titles you'll be getting if you pick this up. Note that five are on the cartridge, while the Knights of the Old Republic games will need to be downloaded"

I’d totally get this if the Knights of the Old Republic games were actually on the cartridge, but seeing that’s not the case and I already have those digital it’s not really worth it for me.

Too bad they aren't on separate cartridges!

I already own Jedi Outcast/Academy and Racer.

I'll never play Unleashed.

To bad Racer Revenge isn't included.

I love Jedi Outcast, but older PC games really don’t transfer well to console when it comes to aiming. The Xbox version should have been ported to Switch for the aim assist - which makes the first few levels much better.

@Heartless666 Prepare to be amazed then, those other five games are confirmed to be on the cartridge!

Hate to say this but Aspyr did a really poor job on the ports. Jedi Outcast and Republic Commando removed multiplayer, Ep 1 Racer has texture issues, and KOTOR introduced a bug that sticks you in the final tomb in Korriban.

This is tempting. I have been eying the Jedi Knight dual pack. This would be a good way to get both these and The Force Unleashed on cartridge. But on the other hand, I do already own Republic Commando, and it is a shame Knights of the Old Republic is a separate download. I know having everything else on a cartridge is an accomplishment in and of itself, but you would think that they could just have an extra cartridge or two in the case to compensate.

@AstroTheGamosian This is just a compilation of existing Switch ports. There is a dedicated DF1 remaster in the works.

Physical cheaper than digital has been a common thing for years, though.

Time put some games on eBay again...

So freaking annoying that the two best games included are digital.

They really need to port all of the Rogue Squadron games to Switch. Make it a separate collection

And me with physical copes of all of them minus the Force unleashed. Damn it all. Are the Knights games codes or do you download them after inserting the cart?

Great move putting the two most appealing games as the ones that arn't physically on the cart. Other than force unleashed the rest of these have already gotten retail physical releases.

Imagine if Disney had released a Star Wars boxset where you had to download a few of the films so that a mega corporation can save a quid or two on including some extra Blu-rays.

Why do "gamers" support this BS?

@-wc- it seems others answered your question before I could and now that I know that 2 of the games aren't even on the game card I have no reason to ever buy this.

@Bomberman64

indeed!

appreciate. 👍
