Wow. I literally just bought this on PS1 for my collection. Star Was Demolition next?
Battle for Naboo would be great, it's been years since I last played it, and I can't get my old PC copy to function anymore...
I could swear I was the only person who liked or even played this game growing up but I still think about it to this day. Definitely picking this up if the port is any good.
Well, this is a shocker! I thought most licensed games, particularly one as old as this one, had little to no chance of ever being re-released.
I have good memories of playing this one with my cousins on PS1 but we never managed to beat it. The platforming sections were BRUTAL! lol. Anyway, I might get this, I'm glad they kept it at a reasonable price.
I suspect part of the issue is any remaster has to be agreed with both the IP holder and the original developer. With this game though the IP holder (Disney) also owns the original developer (the former LucasArts) making licensing out for a remaster a bit easier.
Compare it to say Goldeneye where you needed an agreement between MGM (James Bond IP holder), Nintendo (original publisher) and Microsoft (current owner of the games’ developer Rare). Tends to get tricker when more parties are involved.
Played this a lot on Dreamcast. Fun game.
I've always wanted to play this game but I'm very hesitant due to Aspyr's lies about the KOTOR II DLC and the disastrous Battlefront Collection.
