Star Wars Episode I Racer means a lot to fans of all levels of intensity. To diehards, the game represents a better time for the franchise. When the Prequels were still fresh, they brought with them a whole new galaxy of possibilities. Gamers in particular were seeing that Star Wars didn't need Jedi or smugglers to be fun. Now, in the time of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:canceled Star Wars 1313, good luck finding a Star Wars ga🔯me that doesn't involve shooting/slashing Stormtroopers.
For those who don't care if the future of Star Wars hinges on Disney's iffy attempt at a trilogy, was just plain fun. It was a high speed sci-fi racing game with silly aliens, a good middle ground between F-Zero and Mario Kart. The arcade version took the thrills even further by putting you in a podracer cockpit, complete with those sensitive lever controls. Now the game returns on Nintendo Switch, giving Star Wars fanboys and nostalgic N6ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ༺ᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ4 fans alike a chance to re-live podracing.
The Nintendo Switch port of Star Wars Episode I Racer is the definitive version in terms of functionality. The controls are responsive and well suited to Joy-Cons (when you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:don't have Joy-Con drift), and it loads quickly. The graphics haven't exactly aged we♕ll, which is to be expected of an N64 game. Still, just look at this dude (dudes?).
In case you haven't watched The Phantom Menace in a while (understandable), that's Fode. Played by none other than Whose Line Is it Anyway? star , Fode serves as podracer commentator duringꦏ young Anakin's fa🐠teful race. He returns in the movie, with Proops' voice, looking a little worse for the trip.
He's not the 🀅only one either. Poor Qui-Gon Jinn already looks beat up, and he hasn't even met Darth Maul yet.
Overall, though, these ugly mugs are just the price we pay to see a beloved classic return and perform better on modern hardware. Star Wars Episode I Racer remains a fun, fresh look at the worlds of a galaxy far, far away. And Joy-Cons make tackling those later tracks a more forgiving venture than in 1999. To quote a once-great man: "Now this is podracing."
