Would possibly the Fourth be with you! We are republishing this checklist in party of Megastar Wars day and after giving it a excellent ol’ sweep, so after your Andor binge, you should definitely go away a while to take a look at the most efficient video video games Megastar Wars has to supply.
The Skywalker Saga can have resulted in 2019, however Megastar Wars is rarely in reality over, is it? Particularly on the planet of video video games. Spanning methods all of the as far back as the NES and arcades, Megastar Wars has been on almost each online game console ever.
So underneath, we are looking at nigh-on each Megastar Wars recreation on Nintendo methods within the West, ranked from worst to best possible through you, pricey readers. To stay issues tidier, in circumstances the place the similar recreation was once launched on a couple of platforms, we have opted to say the lesser of the 2 — invariably the moveable model — within the different’s access. Bear in mind, this checklist isn’t set in stone however is ruled through each and every recreation’s Person Score in our database.
So, include us on a adventure to a galaxy fa—oh you already know the remainder. We start on the backside, so beware that the Power is now not robust with many of those…
42. Megastar Wars: The New Droid Military (GBA)
An isometric platformer that takes position between Assault of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, you regulate the petulant younger Skywalker on this stodgy motion recreation. Making an allowance for the platform it is on, the sport seems to be and sounds ok. Past that, although, it is boring, repetitive and so s-l-o-w. Anakin, you might be breaking our middle.
41. Megastar Wars: Jedi Energy Battles (GBA)
With satisfactory animation and audio (particularly taking into account the gadget) and dull, finicky platforming, Megastar Wars: Jedi Energy Battles falls right into a regretfully acquainted development of moveable Megastar Wars video games. It isn’t as hateful as some, and it is a little faster-paced than New Droid Military, however it is a an identical tale.
Most likely developer HotGen was once seeking to faithfully seize the thrill of The Phantom Threat‘s business disputes, by which case activity accomplished. Some would possibly name the non-canon blue lightsaber wielded through Mace Windu at the quilt unforgivable, however we had been too bored to care.
40. Megastar Wars: Flight of the Falcon (GBA)
Any person who is best ever performed Megastar Wars video games on a Sport Boy merits your pity. Unfashionable Nintendo portables had a large number of issues going for them, however a top midi-chlorian rely wasn’t one among them.
Flight of the Falcon is among the very worst Megastar Wars video games ever as a result of it has got Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon at the quilt — the 2 coolest issues within the Megastar Wars universe — and it sullies their excellent names. As with every horrible Megastar Wars video games, the iconography fools you into considering ‘ah, it cannot be that dangerous!’, however our evaluation conclusion sums this up completely: “Flight of the Falcon is an excessively dangerous recreation. As such, you will have to now not play it. Then again cool the screenshots glance, on the other hand promising the basis sounds, simply take into account that the Power isn’t with this one whatsoever, form or shape.”
Han, mah boogie, you deserved higher.
39. Megastar Wars: Yoda Tales (GBC)
You need to take into account that whilst Yoda is a liked persona, this recreation got here sooner than we would ever noticed him wield a lightsaber in what is definitely the most efficient scene in Assault of the Clones. In spite of the identify, in Yoda Tales you regulate Luke Skywalker in a top-down journey as he chops snakes in two together with his laser sword. How dangerous can that be?…
Actually reasonably dangerous, it seems. ‘Sedate’ is just too beneficiant a phrase, and the entire recreation is a technical embarrassment. It is tempting responsible the {hardware}, however you then take a look at Hyperlink’s Awakening and notice what would possibly were. Hyperlink’s Awakening this ain’t. Poodoo, undeniable and easy.
38. Megastar Wars: Episode II: Assault of the Clones (GBA)
Fittingly, possibly, the weakest film within the saga were given probably the most weakest Megastar Wars video games ever. Most often we would caveat a commentary like that with ‘arguably’, however Episode II is inescapably pants in portions (aside from for Mace Windu’s basic badassery and that Yoda bit on the finish — we consider reasonably liking that).
The tie-in GBA recreation is a turgid side-scrolling beat ’em up that lacks the inventive polish even the dullest Megastar Wars video games deliver to the desk. Coarse, tough, and worsening, certainly.
37. Megastar Wars: The Empire Moves Again (NES)
A rather ho-hum 8-bit platformer the place you play as younger Skywalker struggling with via diversifications of the places from the film, Megastar Wars: The Empire Moves Again may just now not be extra reasonable. For children determined to play as hero Luke, it was once satisfactory filler however not more.
A Sport Boy model additionally exists, however if you are gagging to play via the most efficient movie of the saga in online game shape, you might be a lot going with the 16-bit ‘Tremendous’ iteration. Certainly, LucasArts did not even trouble with an 8-bit Go back of the Jedi — the developer merely jumped generations and began afresh with Tremendous Megastar Wars at the SNES.
36. Megastar Wars (NES)
Some other platformer. To be honest, it did a tight activity of offering some selection and touching at the primary characters and places of the film, however it is lovely unmemorable (and unforgiving).
The token Sport Boy model upped the trouble because it diminished display screen actual property, however most likely essentially the most attention-grabbing of the 8-bit variations is the solely other and previous Famicom recreation advanced through Namco in 1987. ‘Fascinating’ as a result of it isn’t terrified of deviating considerably from the supply subject material and having Darth Vader transform a scorpion. No longer ‘attention-grabbing’ as a result of it is any excellent, unfortunately.
