Watch out because Star Wars Episode I: Racer has now been re-released! Check out 13 minutes of Switch gameplay from this beloved retro racer.

13 minutes of gameplay from a 20 year old game? I guess...

 

[alabtrosMyster]

couldn't they at least redraw the HUD? ... I guess we get so many ports of old games, this is par for the course, thankfully they did not add micro-transactions? did they?

 

[Neff]

Couldn't we have had the Sega arcade one instead

The game is good. And that is about it.
Zero effort.

But again worth it as there is nothing as good as it.

Besides that last wipeout game

 

[Birdo]

The music is still there

Episode 1: Racer the only Dreamcast game published by EA in just one small territory due to distribution/licensing agreements. Trufax.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'd pick it up for $4.99. That's my limit.

 

[Diddy X]

I got it on steam like a year ago, did they add something new?

 

[Connificent]

Bought it for PS4. Game is still fun, wish they added rumble and some sound options.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Online play for this game would have been nice.

Real question is does the debug mode cheat still work.

 

[teezzy]

I beasted this game with Dud Bolt on N64.

I've had the Steam port for about a year now. I remember struggling to get it running. Maybe they've fixed it since.

I think Saturn's best 2D games aged quite nicely. I've also thought a lot of the PS1 and N64 games aged very, very poorly. This reinforces that belief.

I thought the same thing. Lol. It will be great to have it on switch.

It seems like Racer Revenge on PS4 is still a better option.

 

[J-Roderton]

Got it. It's still fun. Online would have been nice.

Why play Racer Revenge when Wipeout is so much better?

 

[Hudo]

This, together with Re-Volt (best Mario Kart clone ever!) and maybe Rollcage were really underrated action racing games, IMHO.

 

[Guileless]

I guess they're aiming to get nostalgia purchases out of millenials who played this as a kid?

It was fun in 1999.

Can't disagree there. Was just comparing the two SW Racer games.

[Allnamestakenlol]

Damn, really putting the hardware to work, ain't it?

 

[RoboFu]

Love this game still! If there are ever a gave that needed a remake this it!

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Yeah remake this! Or just any high speed racer with modern engine / graphics. F zero, wipeout, this. SOMETHING.

That frame rate on this game is glorious

 

[Paps Guattro]

I still play the UE4 fan made version every once in a while and dream of a full remaster.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Is this identical to the Steam version or no?
