Limited Run Partners With Lucasfilm To Re-Release Classic Star Wars Games

I'd rather get them used for $5-$10 than pay $50 for games 20+ years old.

Should have been a bundle with them all on one disc tbh.

X-wing! Tie Fighter! Hopefully on a console, don't really care which one!

Limited Run e3's stream was kinda Devolver Digital's equivalent. Both of those streams were wonderfully bonkers.

Anyway, a starwars being re-released by Limited Run games. Completely out of left field! Many a jaded and or long time starwars fan has been made happy.

If only there was Rogue Leader but a great lineup otherwise!

Not including Rogue Squadron 1-3 simply killed it for me.

are you all not going to publish an article on any of the other 20 games they announced?

Ah, pre Disney/EA Star Wars. Yea, hopefully all of this is coming to Switch. I'd love to see the Super SW games too.

Give me episode 1 Pod racer. I love that game

None of the SNES games? Those are the best ones.

@blackknight77 Yes! A remastered version would be epic.

@Synthatron_Prime Those are the two I’d like!! If it added only multi, that’d be so fun!
Love your avatar picture, too. Maybe LRG would pick up Battlecry 😂

Forget SW games, I'd rather have Maniac Mansion, Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Day of the Tentacle back!

Tie Fighter was good though.

That jingle at the end, that's Monkey Island music. Oh god, yes.

It's a shame Rogue Squadron isn't on this list, but at least Episode 1 Racer's here! It's the best thing to come out of The Phantom Menace!

@bigcalsworld cartridge

Lucasfilm Games? Haven't heard that name in a long time...

When I saw the trailer I thought this was a collection. It isn’t coming to switch anyway, so doesn’t really matter, but I’d be unlikely to buy them all individually at Limited Run prices.

Would love to get Podracer.

OMG Star Wars episode 1 Racer is my childhood,it's the very first game I've ever owned.If they could rerelease the PC version on Switch I'd get it day one

I wish that this would Come to switch, but they’re just re-releasing them on their original platforms

@KayFiOS fingers crossed that Lucasfilm finally releases Rogue Squadron trilogy. That would explain the absence.

Who gives a crap about Star Wars? The Monkey Island series?! Oh, PLEASE come to Switch!

@Tempestryke and don’t forget Ghoul Patrol!

Very Exciting announcement but would’ve been more exciting if they included the classic Atari Arcade titles in the plans!!

@joey302 H
I've not heard of that one. Is it pretty fun?

@rushiosan Reason there isn't? EA owns the rights to those 3 titles. Those came with their contract with Disney. It's up to EA to release them anywhere and if I know EA they'll never come to Switch. They'll likely remaster them in Frostbite, remaster them in 4K and then release them to PS5 and Project Scarlett as launch titles. It's too bad EA still won't get over the John Madden Football debacle on SNES that started their bad blood between them and Nintendo so many years ago. Any software support has EA provided The World of Nintendo so far is merely token support only. I know they're R&Ding Frostbite on Switch but...I think that'll never reach past the experimental stage I'm afraid. That's all I got and until next time I am out!

@Tempestryke Zombies Ate My Neighbors! Yes!

I was hoping for Battlefront 1&2, and the original Lego Star Wars games :/

Finally, a proper way to play the Jedi Knight games. So glad EA apparently has nothing to do with these, either...

A pleasant surprise, but hopefully that’s not the full list, Would love the original Atari Star Wars Arcade Games with Gyro Controls, followed by the Sega Starwars Arcade Games, along with Super Starwars and Rogue Squadron Trilogy

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. Been a while since I heard that name. It was a good game but a frustrating one because of those controls.

@HobbitGamer ha, that would be neat. I'd love a new Macross game too!

Such an odd decision on their part to reproduce NES/Game Boy/N64 cartridges and no digital equivalents to go with them. Collectors, man.

Limited run could put all these in one package as most are tiny... they’ll milk this for sure... announcing Star Wars games is massive news for me... I should be excited... it’s LRG they will find a way to ruin this and be least what you expect.... all on original format or something silly

Providing that the pod racing still has the cheat or option for dual analogue stick control, I'm in

Classic Star Wars. Classic...Star Wars...

Now that is a franchise I have not enjoyed for a long time...a long time.

This is a really fab announcement. Would love to play most of these (monkey Island too) on Switch.

at the beginning they were joking how they were too small for star wars...but then they did it.
...and they were also joking that they are too small for a physical edition of mother 3

@Tempestryke I remember 3 of them:
Star Wars The Arcade Game
The Empire strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
The first 2 used vector graphics displays while Jedi had conventional graphics but yes all 3 were fun! Ahhh the good ole days when Atari was King of the jungle! Lol

What about Rogue Squadron?!

I'm...confused...are these ports or are they re-issues? For example, will the NES games be on NES carts?
These will probably be terribly overpriced, but we might see some neat editions. I played the crap out of a lot of these back in the day, especially ESB on NES.

@BanjoPickles hahaha
