Star Wars Episode 1: Racer arrives on May 12th

The best thing to come out of the original trilogy

I’ve been rewatching the Star Wars films over the last several weeks, just out of curiosity to see how they old up. For the most part they’re great.

Except for that original trilogy. Holy moley.

There were several games that were licensed to that series of films, but easily the best was Episode I: Racer for the N64. The game took on the pod racing sequence from the first film, and included multiplayer and more. It even made its way to PC/Steam recently with graphical tweaks in tow.

Now, that updated version is coming to modern consoles. Ported by Aspyr games, this latest version of Racer will include visuals and controls updated for the PS4 and Switch. In fact, the Switch iteration will even allow for single joy-con use.

Look for the game to pop up in the digital storefronts of the two consoles on May 12th.
