Today is May 4th and that means it's Star Wars Day! If you're looking for something to play in a galaxy far, far away, there's plenty to jump into on the Nintendo Switch.

Ahh yes, 4th the May be with you, too!
Chose wisely the system to play you should...
Me not Master Yoda.
May the 4th be with you all and still patiently waiting for a NES/SNES compilation of Star Wars, ESB and a SNES return of the Jedi along with a N64/GC compilation of the Rogue Squadron games! Here's hoping someone might take this on in 2025??
May the 4th be with you fellow Star Wars fans!
Nothing Star Wars for me this weekend , but best wishes to those who do find a moment to celebrate.
@karatekid1612
Elegant games, from a more civilized time…
😁
I would buy a compilation or two of those in a heartbeat.
I'll be doing a Jedi fallen order and jedi Survivor playthrough. I should really get around to playing Kotor too.

Gotta love how all these GAAS bloodsuckers celebrate it with FOMO.
@Truegamer79 Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor are some of the best Star Wars stories we've had and the first thing I thought of playing this weekend. (I really hope the new team and director do well with the third in the series.)
The deal for KOTOR is tempting me, too, though. Never tried that back in the day.
@PokemonDMG “Master Yoda, I am not.” would be the correct syntax if that’s what you’re going for. Apologies for assuming.
@Diogmites Just think about how long it took Count Dooku to understand Master Yoda's dead language. 😏
@PokemonDMG Did i misunderstand you? I think Dooku would have picked it up right away…it’s not a dead language, Yoda just speaks Galactic Basic with unorthodox syntax as far as i know.
Please educate me as i fear i am missing your point entirely.
Edit- i see now, the first part of your initial comment was in Yoda’s words but the second part is an entirely different way of speaking. Yes?
It used to be a great franchise not all that long ago. Now? Yeah, not so much.
@WePlayCatandMouse I still enjoy Star Wars, even though it's not like it used to be. Just separate the actor from the work, and it's all good. I can appreciate Hamill's work, while not at all caring about, or agreeing with his opinions, or political beliefs.
NintendoLife, I love y'all, but seriously how can you forget Zen Star Wars Pinball. There are 19 excellent Star Wars pinball tables. That's how I started my day. Then I jumped over to Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga (on my XBox Series X, because you know).
Lego Star Wars is still the best Star Wars game, and you won't get mugged by time-limited microtransactions when you play it.
@Teksetter appreciate the star wars jargon there and yeh I have been banging on about this for a while now. As the legal rights around TMNT cowabunga collection was overcome, then surely this could be done for these gems! IMO I feel if the 2 compilations were ever done, 1 for the NES/SNES and the other for the N64/GC, then they could sell very well?! And as much as I would like physical copies of each compilation, I would be more than happy for digital only.
@Liam_Doolan with reference to my comment regarding a compilation of the NES/SNES Star Wars, ESB and SNES ROTJ and a N64/GC compilation of the Rogue Squadron games, have you heard anything on the grape vine regarding anybody in the gaming world who is possibly interested in making both?
@Diogmites Exactly what I thought.
