Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Open Later This Week

Discover the non canon story of Vaders secret apprentice. There I fixed it for you. You can thank Disney for ruining its multiverse.

Why not the second game as well in a duology instead?

I’ve learned my lesson from Limited Run. I’ll just pick up the digital.

@Sourcecode
What lesson?

I know they ported the Wii version for the motion controls, but I still lament it isn't the PS3 one as it's an almost entirely different game (and I already own the PSP version which is equal to the Wii, plot-wise).

@Don I'd wager the fact that you likely won't see the game til next year.

@Don They take a while to ship, which isn't really a lesson so much as a given since they don't start manufacturing until they have the final count of orders.

@Don I'm assuming he's referring to the other LRG Star Wars games (Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, Episode 1 Racer, and Republic Commando all had expensive LRG releases and then shortly after they were cheaply available in retail collections).

@Don as others have said the wait times are horrible BUT also the fact that other Star Wars games eventually got an official physical release from THQ Nordic after Limited Run had already put theirs out. I’d wager we will see more official physical releases of these Star Wars games down the road. Pretty much what @Aurumonado said 🙂

@GameOtaku No second game because this is just going to be a cleaned up version of the Wii game. The trade off, as it was on Wii, is motion controls.

Getting this one for sure if it's actually a remastered port of the Wii version. Not a fan of the lousy HD version of the PS3 and Xbox 360.

@Specter_of-the_OLED It is the Wii version which I'm glad because the boss fights are better and the PS360 version has a ton of bugs.

LRG is such a scam. They gotta be joking with their prices.

I'll get the standard edition. Not a fan of LRG's absurdly overpriced special editions that throw in a bunch of junk with one or two actually cool items so they can jack up the price.

I will probably bite on the LRG version. I know the risk that it will be rereleased, but I don't have much nostalgia for the 2nd Force Unleashed game. The only thing that could bite me is if they pair this with KOTOR in a double pack rerelease.

@GameOtaku Nah. The Disney canon has a stronger continuity and better quality control.
That said, the Sequel Trilogy is disappointing.
The Last Jedi was the only sequel I really enjoyed and it's as great as Revenge of the Sith, but The Rise of Skywalker was terrible.

@Sourcecode Ordered my KOTOR in november 2021. And it still says it's in production... :/

@Drommajin Yeah... that's because LRG takes orders and then starts printing copies once the pre-order window ends so they know how many copies they need to make. It says on every product's page that copies are estimated to ship 6 months after they close orders. It's made very clear you won't be getting these games right away.

@Hydra_Spectre
I strongly disagree. Disney ruined years of canon that had been established and retconned much of the lore.

@ReaperMelia
It used to be much faster. Three months to be exact. Instead I just now got the Kunio Collection from them after ordered it around July last year so that’s even longer.

@GameOtaku Yeah, then the pandemic happened. It's not as easy to quickly produce/ship games (or anything tech-related) as it was back then.

As others have said I’ll just wait for the THQ retail version lol. If things go the same way that the other Star Wars games went, then this’ll be paired with another game on GameStop shelves for $30 USD in some months.

@ReaperMelia
You could blame it on Covid then but not now. Things have gotten relatively normal now .

wish they gave this games graphics a overhaul update instead of being lazy i mean the switch is capable of pushing this games graphics to its limit since it originally came out on wii,ps3,and 360.

Hopefully this gets a standard release through THQ. LRG sucks and this fake scarcity BS is a cancer on the industry.

I was excited until i saw Limited Run

So another physical game i can't get 😒

Shame they can't release a much smaller indie game instead of a already widely available game from a big publisher.
I'll happily wait for something interesting to be announced before making another purchase from them

Digital for me. An underrated game. Decent, non-canon, expanded Universe SW story.

Forgot this was coming out. Tried playing the PS3 version sometime last year as it remains an incomplete title in my backlog. It hasn't aged well. The story was interesting though.

if they want to put out a $30 dollar double pack with KOTR down the road thats something I'd be interested in, but $40+ in advance for a standalone old game that you wont even see for nearly a year? I'm clearly not the target audience.

Geez, not again. Than I might get the Wii version again. I guess, the controls will work better there than on Switch anyway.

Star Wars games do not need LRG treatment.

Ridiculous.

As others say LRG are a very frustrating company, lazy and poor quality items in their special editions, much longer production times than quoted, poor customer service and they act like the are gaming gods saving the physical industry. They aren’t.

Avoid.

As a UK based site you should really mention it somewhere in the header or subheader that this is Limited run

Seria legal se o modo "duel mode" pudesse ser jogado contra a CPU também.

I'll be buying just the digital version. These prices in Australian dollars are just ridiculously expensive for a 14 year old game.
I just hope the issue with cutscenes not playing when a different character skin is chosen is fixed.

@Sourcecode that goes for non star wars games too. You can practically get everything from the EU or Japan weeks later.

@ReaperMelia Still so very annoying

why is Kotor the only SW port that hasn't gotten a physical release? Thats the one I'd want the most

@Aurumonado like the $10 Power Rangers physical game?

@Don still waiting for Turrican vol 2 which I preordered God knows how long ago. So yes I'm skeptical to order from them again myself.

People were complaining because of all the WiiU ports, god knows how dipping further into the Wii back catalogue is going to go down.

Oohh, this gives me hope that they put out a remaster of the Indiana Jones Wii game.

@MadmanMike Yes just like Battle for the Grid
