Just a heads up, the physical copies of these Star Wars games are coming to switch in "double packs" soon. No idea what price will be.
Republic Commando is outstanding. First person shooter where you command a squad of Clone Troopers. Very immersive. Vode An (Brothers All) song really captures the atmosphere of the game, what you will experience, and what you will come away with when it finishes. This really should have been made into a Prequel era movie. The game is shortish but highly satisfyingly.
This is one of my favorite Star Wars games. I had no idea they ported it to the switch. Thanks OP!

One of my favorite games Star War Jedi II is a hard no on the switch. I've had it on my wish list since buying the switch. No aim makes it impossible to kill with an accuracy. Long checkpoints means starting over after a lot of progress. No custom buttons so controls are clunky. One of these things is annoying, all make it unplayable. Huge let down. And I'd say there are waaaay better games out there.
I heard the republic commando port wasn't too good. Not sure if it's been patched.
There was a major stability and performance patch a few months back. I played the first hour and there is some dips in FPS every once in a while, but I am having fun visiting an old game and that's all that matters to me especially since I am mobile on the switch.
It's good, and from what I remember, it has rogue lite elements to it. You get points or coins to spend on new moves and upgrades, etc. it's very difficult in the beginning but gets easier as you keep playing.
Rogue-lite elements? What game did you play?
This game absolutely does not have rogue-lite elements.
It's a clear as day 90s style beat em up with an extremely simple leveling system to give you new moves similar to Castle Crashers.
It's a fun beat em up, but it definitely isn't a rogue-lite in any way.
I tried to play Republic Commando on my PC a few months ago and it didn't hold up :/ but it was an amazing game when it came out, I really wish they did a sequel or a remake.
Really? Last i played a few years ago i felt it held up very well for a single player shooter. Fun, squad commanding stuff was simple but solid.
I heard the republic commando port wasn't too good. Not sure if it's been patched. By the way Knights of the old Republic remake just got announced for PS5.
For those wondering "what kind of a game is Scott Pilgrim": If you have Nintendo Online, then play River City Ransom. It's practically a spiritual successor that does everything better. Amazing music by Anamanaguchi, beautiful visuals by Paul Robertson, and an overall refinement in gameplay (game feel, bosses, pacing, etc.)
I'm probably going to pick up Pod-Racer. It's actually quite a decent game, and probably the closest thing we'll get to F-Zero on the Switch.
I've tried most the other future racers, and they usually feel off. either floaty controls or some other issue. But Pod Racer holds up.
