Just bring every classicStar Warsgame back: odds are you’ll hit a good one
Following the launch ofStar Wars: The Force Unleashedfor Switch, Aspyr Media was asked about the potential return of another classicStar Warsgaming franchise. So you’re saying there’s a chance of bringingStar Wars: Rogue Squadronback? Good enough for me!
Here’s the full statementfrom a rep for the company on Twitter:
“Here at Aspyr we’re hugeStar Warsfans and love bringingStar Warsgames to new audiences. For us, it’s all about the games we think players are most passionate about and would love to see brought to new platforms. If the demand is there, we’re on board.”
Of course, they probably wouldn’t say no to a job (like bringingStar Wars: Rogue Squadronback), especially in this economy. But the fact that they took the time to answer this question specifically means something: and these sorts of exchanges have led to actionable ports in the past. There are four entries in all in the series:Rogue Squadron, Rogue Squadron II, Rogue Squadron III,and the sub-gameEpisode I: Battle for Naboo.
At this point, I’ll just takethe entire lot of re-releasedStar Warsgames.Dark Forces? Sure, bring it back. Pretty much any Nintendo 64 game? Put it on the Switch Expansion Pack or re-release/remaster/remake it. Just do it all! There’s some clunkers in there, but generally a lot of these classic games had teams behind them that genuinely cared about the series as a whole — and it showed.
He’ll give meStar Wars: Rebel Assault!BringingStar Wars: Rogue Squadronback could just be the beginning.
