These Star Wars Switch and PS4 bundles comprise ports of quite old titles, of course. Star Wars Episode I: Racer landed on Nintendo 64 back in 1999, for instance. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast came to GameCube in 2002. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy and Star Wars: Republic Commando skipped Nintendo but arrived in 2003 and 2005 respectively on Xbox and PC. Now, all of these games are available digitally on Nintendo Switch, and the ports are apparently mostly competent overall. Personally, my only experience with any of the ports is that I bought Jedi Academy, it crashed within a few minutes of starting, and I never touched it again. So, yeah.
Aspyr is also busy developing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake for PlayStation 5 and PC, in addition to porting the original KOTOR to Nintendo Switch.
