Can't believe they been porting a lot of classic Star Wars games on the Switch, yet, still not the case with the classic Battlefront titles, that's criminal.
The reason they ported the Wii version of the force unleashed is because they included the motion controls from the Wii game!! Makes the game actually really fun to use the motion controls!
But they gave the added bonus of not forcing them so its basically like you get the best of both the Wii and the ps2 copies also in a lot of ways the wii/ps2/psp version was better
Great overview and opinions on these games. Super helpful for a parent like me shopping for holiday gifts for my kids. This may help others watching this video: 0:14 Star Wars Republic Commando 2:29 Star Wars Episode I Racer 4:06 Star Wars Pinball 5:58 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 7:32 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords 9:29 Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy 10:51 Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast 12:05 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 13:57 LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
While I'm inclined to agree at first glance - I went back and played Shadows recently and it's not aged gracefully, at least in my opinion. I love the concept and storyline, though - I'd love to see it completely torn down and rebuilt from the ground up with more accessible control options and better graphics. :)
Episode 1 Racer and Republic Commando is amazing on the switch and Force awakens All we need now is the original battlefront games on the switch, revenge of the sith, and Star Wars rogue squadron games
This man really described the lightsaber combat from Jedi Knight 2 as loosey goosey.......i guess he never learned the combos or mastered the 1v1 combat. Ppl played lightsaber combat online battles for 10 years afterwards. The game has combos that it doesn't tell you about. You can only discover them by intuition. A great joy in that game was learning the lightsaber skills like a jedi learns the mysteries of the force.
Even though Xbox, PlayStation and PC has more of the heavy-hitting Star Wars games, I still think the Switch line up is decent for fans of the galaxy far, far away. I really want more Star Wars ports, maybe the Classic Battlefronts, Bounty Hunter, Rouge Squadron series (Including Battle for Naboo), Racer: Revenge, Super Star Wars Trilogy, both Starfighter and Jedi Starfighter, Dark Forces, Wii version of Force Unleashed II, Episode III: The Game and don't judge me if I want a port of Star Wars: Episode I from PS1, Demolition, Jedi Power Battles and Masters of Teräs Käsi.
So, from what I’ve gathered, the Wii edition of The Force Unleashed was ported since it features far more content than the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game. Since some of the content on Wii was specifically geared towards motion controls, it made sense to utilize the Joy-Cons with their updated gyroscope and HD rumble.
And plus, this version is different in a lot of ways in terms of content like levels, and makes this version easier to access since it's a version that's never seen an official PC release. Now, I think they should put the PSP content in it too and have it be kind of an ultimate edition of this version, but that's just me.
I agree with everything except Skywalker Saga. I’d give it an A or S. The negative you mentioned is a positive for me. It’s super ambitious and huge. I love it.
The Wii version is actually a completely different game and they added all the content cut from the ps3/Xbox 360/pc version. Those versions were actually worked on later in development and were surprisingly more of an afterthought. Whilst the Wii/ps2 versions were actually what they worked on first as far as I know. I love both versions to be honest as they have their own experiences to offer.
I think the reason lego star wars felt that way is because it was strongly encouraged co-op the collectable don't seem as immense when 2 people are getting them. And the side missions are way more fun with a friend
Cant wrap my mind around how someone cant like jedi academy most amazing saber gameplay ever made, i like how you judge the jedi knight games for the gameplay but think the standing in place next to someone shooting at you and hitting them while standing still at point blank range is good gameplay
@@melindamercier6811 its mind blowing the point of a game is to simulate the role the game is trying to portray kotor is great for its story and customization but thats all it does good the story in academy and outcast isnt a 10/10 amazing mindblowing experience but the gameplay is good enough that if the story was terrible itd still be worthit
Kotor 1 and 2 are just amazing games. Kotor 1 story wise you can't beat it. But the second one you just feel like a complete badass. 30 extra level ups, you just feel like a boss 😎
Great list Jay! I would agree here with all but one title. The Skywalker saga would be an S ranking from me. It’s exactly what I wanted to see in a Lego game. The base game I could complete in a weekends time and then the unlockables and extras I can play off and on for weeks or months in between games. Completely respect your thoughts there though brother. Great tier list! Stay awesome my friend! 🤘🙏❤️
Oh man! Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic was mind blowing. I remember being so excited to purchase it for pc and have replayed it several times. Always felt kinda bad about KotOR II. Given to a new studio and rushed out. They made some improvements and they tried but it was impossible for them to live up to the original. I keep meaning to give Force Unleashed a real chance. I remember when it came out and they made such a big deal about how powerful the characters were and destructible environments and such. Then we I finally started playing it you start off as Vader killing Wookiees and I hit a bush with the lightsaber. The bush fell over like a cardboard cut out and then a moment later popped right back up like nothing happened. I couldn't stop laughing. The force is powerful but can't harm any plant. One of the things that I find odd about porting games to the Switch is that it almost seems random what games they give us. Why give us the two Jedi Knight games without giving us the first two Dark Forces games? Please complete the series. I would also love to see the Rogue Squadron series brought over.
TFU is great I've only played it on Wii an Switch but having such powerful force powers with out have to level them up from a weak point is so so cool i actually feel powerful when I play it I'd give it a B+
I've gotta say I'm very surprised that you never played the ps2 version of the force unleashed. The switch version is by far the cleanest and smoothest to date. It's criminal to put the force unleashed so low.
Nah, not a crime, just an opinion. To me, the Switch version is a mess of bad ideas that just isn't fun to play - the jumps are loose, the motion controls aren't great, combat is less responsive, the gameplay is far less tactical and more button mashy, and the look is atrocious. If it's a version you love, then by all means, love it - but I'd play my PC, PS3, or 360 versions 10 times out of 10 over this one.
And personally, I wouldn't begrudge anyone of that. These ranking videos are essentially just ways for me to express my opinion - and the only person that should really matter to is me. I never want to have what my experience with a game is detract from someone elses enjoyment - far be it for me to be that egotistical. :)
Pretty solid ranks here, the one that surprised me was KOTOR2. Ive never played it and have always heard bad things about it so it's good to here some fresh thoughts
To be transparent, there's issues with the game. It FEELS rushed in places - but I'm having a boatload of fun with it. Maybe I'm just used to Obsidian games being buggy as hell, but to me it's been a very rewarding gaming experience. Those could be Star Wars goggles blinding me a bit to things, but I stand by my review. :) Thank you as always for watching, my friend! 27 more to get you to 500!!
Force Unleashed is a matter of taste really, IMO the Wii version is far superior to the PC release. Story is more well build, whereas the PC feels rushed and short (your encounter with your inner father feels so much deep in the Wii version, and the temple trials add immensely to Starkiller development). Also there are more places to visit and somehow physics and force powers feels way more coherent in the Wii version. When you throw or grasp an enemy, for example, you feel their weight, on the PC everything feels like made of cardboard and go flying around the moment you release them. Overall the PC version is good but felt like they tried to achieve something greater and failed, whereas the Wii version tried to do less and actually did it right.
Wow. We have complete opposite experiences here - and ain't nothing wrong with that. :) The way you feel about the PC/Console version is how I feel about the Wii version - it just felt thrown together and loose and I never felt the connection with any of the Force powers or characters. But I'm so happy to see how much you dig that game! Not every game is going to land for every person, but every game is going to be one someone loves. Thank you so much for watching!
Yeah, I’m with you on Force Unleashed. Plus, on the PS3/360 version, after you take the dark ending of the game, you had more levels afterwards, like Tatooine and Hoth. I’m sure the original Wii version is decent, but this was a huge missed opportunity by not using the PS3/360 version for the Switch
Even though i have played the wii version only I have to say, the flagship version of the force unleashed is better but by not alot. I'm not of course saying it is a bad game. I love the force unleashed. But when swinging the lightsaber in the flagship version there is just that moment which hits right like every hit is a critical hit.
The Wii version is fine. It'd probably be great if the other versions didn't exist, but that's not the reality we're in. The other versions are just so much more balanced and polished.
Thank you so much for this really fair and honest review. As an older gamer myself I'm Just now buying a Switch. I think my order will be Knights of the Grand Ole Republic, Democratic Commandos, and Wii Awakened (never tried the Wii version either). Your right though the rest just don't hold up.
Great video, have a physical copy of all of these games as of last week. My Limited Run KOTOR 2 finally arrived after 8 months. Would’ve got the digital, but backlog and time are an issue. I’ve always wanted to play KOTOR series, missed it in college. Always heard it’s a long time Star Wars fan’s favorites, made me wish we could get classic Battlefront on Switch. Be easier then pulling out PS2/laptop to play those on. Final note, Lego Star Wars started on PS2 and Xbox, it makes me feel old saying that. Niece used to play both Battlefronts, Lego Star Wars, and Indiana Jones on PS2 when I’d watch her. She got married last weekend and graduating college end of the month. Where does the time go? Think the PS2 and then full collection on PS3 Lego games were better, also we got the Clone Wars series Lego game during the PS3/360 generation. Fighting over systems in that game was fun. Reminded me if Empire at War and if really old timer Star Wars Rebellion PC.
Great video, and I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on these games! Jedi Outcast on the original Xbox drove me nuts with it’s jumping, which is something I really don’t like in first person shooters. Is the squad management in Republic Commando tedious at all?
Force unleashed old gen ver is superiors in almost every aspect. Over all combat feels better after maxing Starkiller, force feels more powerfull - even if physics is worse far more objects react, there is more content and better story pacing.
Jedi academy is the sequel to outcast, not the other way around. There is an old pc game that is the original that outcast is the #2 of. Academy is the more recent release.
Yes the Lego Star Wars game the new one I could not get into the original ones are much better to me because the new Lego Star Wars levels are way to short compared to the original ones like you said that really threw me off
What are you talking about? What slander? all he said was it didn’t click for him! What can you not tolerate somebody having a different opinion than you? 🤦♂️
You may have said it when the video started, but how do we put on the notification Bell on your subscribe thing? Sorry it's just such a troubling task in all honesty my my cells and my atoms are now distraught with rewinding it to find out 😂
If I mentioned the notification bell, I must have been having an out of body experience, because I hardly ever have after my first year making videos. 😂 But if you legit actually want to know when my goofy ass posts a video - I'm pretty sure you just click subscribe, and then click the subscribe button again and you can choose which notifications to receive.
Great question! I'm 99% sure all of them do - but there's a few that are exclusively through Limited Run Games, so you might not be able to get them as readily as you may like.
Jedi academy gets everything that star wars is saber battles force powers blows all the other star wars away easy second the oringinal battles fronts not the new ones
Play them today on the Switch and tell me either of them are above average. They might have been incredible upon their release, but ranking them TODAY as the version on the Switch, they are - AT BEST - average.
@@SquarePegs i have played them both on switch and they are amazing, you are entitled to your opinion but you cant change mine or pretty much most peoples.
Jedi academy, force unleashed,republic commando,Idc if im going banrupt (I totally disagree whit your opnion but i respect it) (A little bit) (Like i only respect 0,1 of it) (SUCKER-)
...sucker? That seems uncalled for. I mean, you're the one with the terrible taste in video games here. 😜 Nah, seriously - it's all love. Thanks for checking the video out, I appreciate it!
Yep, and I'd rank it higher again today. It's a better made game than all of those Switch ports. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!
Didn't think of pinball, and I do own that game 😂 Lego Skywalker Saga seems to be my favorite, yet do not own other SW games than pinball so far. Yet do own Skywalker Saga on (whispering) PS4 🤠
I have not played a Star Wars game, no not even a Lego version. What I got most from this video is your great ability to be objective. Even if you have nostalgia googles, I appreciate that you’re taking them off and being honest.
Yo, that's a new one. I've heard John Hancock's brother, Tom Segura, wish dot com Jack Black, and the lost Belushi brother. But this one's new. Well done.
@SquarePegs what games do you want them to port next? I would love to see either Battlefront or Bounty Hunter. Revenge of the Sith would also be awesome. I also assume they will put out Focre Unleashed 2 at some point since they already did the first one. I want them all lol.
Gah - missed this reply, Mike - my apologies! I'd want to see Battlefront, definitely. Bounty Hunter would be great. Jedi Power Battles could be fun in a weird way - maybe a 16-bit collection? The SNES games and GBA titles? There's so many to choose from. :)
Ah, yes, I don't like an FPS game. That's why I gave Republic Commando an A. And I guess those hundreds of hours over the years in TF2, TimeSplitters, and House of the Dead must have been imagined. 😜 I'm glad so many people love Outcast. Truly, I am! The Switch version - specifically this release that I'm talking about - doesn't land for me. I don't hate it, that's why I gave it a C as an average score, but it's not something I've got rose colored nostalgia goggles on for.
Can't believe they been porting a lot of classic Star Wars games on the Switch, yet, still not the case with the classic Battlefront titles, that's criminal.
THIS.
If i had to guess, copyright issues
Battlefronts would sell like crazy. Id personally buy 5 of each😂😂
Shadows of the empire snd rogue squadron games are even more criminal to me. Battlefront remove the multiplayer and it’s meh
Battlefront announced today
Thanks for the review and now I’m going to buy it. I’m 73 years old lol but I still love Star Wars and video games.
Awesome!! Enjoy, Stan! :) Thank you so much for watching.
I aspire I be like you when I reach that age.
Holy crap! An old gamer. That's pretty dope.
I'm late but it's awesome to be proud of your hobbies, at any age. To thine own self be true. Have fun!

The Wii version was AMAZING. Choking and pushing with twists of your wrist is a dream come true.
That Obi-Wan was actually pretty spot on! Nice job, I'd slow it down and it would be perfect.

I would probably be in that neighborhood of a grade if I weren't so familiar with the PC/PS3/360 versions of the games.
@SquarePegs I played the wii version growing up, so when I tried to play the 360 version, I felt the same way you described playing this
I've always had a love/hate with Starwars games. I want to love them but usually hate them. I'm just too picky when it come to my beloved Star Wars 🤣
A completely acceptable stance, my friend! I'm that way with a lot of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Lord of the Rings games. 😁
@@SquarePegs my top 3 film series. Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2 were the Best LOTR games.

Thanks very much! :)
I've gotta say I'm very surprised that you never played the ps2 version of the force unleashed. The switch version is by far the cleanest and smoothest to date. It's criminal to put the force unleashed so low.

That “Hello there” was on point man
for anyone who want to play kotor 2, wait and play it with the restored content mod, it really makes difference, lots of bugs are fixed with that
Yup, that's what I was referring to by restarting my game. Really excited that Aspyr embraced the fan patches to make the game better.
Gaming off the grid brought me here

Does the fact that Aspyr EVENTUALLY confirmed that the RCDLC will not be added to KOTOR2 change the ranking at all?
Yup. Not sure to what, but it's definitely knocked down.
Thank you so much for this really fair and honest review. As an older gamer myself I'm Just now buying a Switch. I think my order will be Knights of the Grand Ole Republic, Democratic Commandos, and Wii Awakened (never tried the Wii version either). Your right though the rest just don't hold up.
Great review
KotOR2, I got some bad updates for it. The RESTORED CONTENT patch has been CANCELLED.
Yeah, saw that. :( A most unfortunate occurrence.
Great video, have a physical copy of all of these games as of last week. My Limited Run KOTOR 2 finally arrived after 8 months. Would’ve got the digital, but backlog and time are an issue. I’ve always wanted to play KOTOR series, missed it in college. Always heard it’s a long time Star Wars fan’s favorites, made me wish we could get classic Battlefront on Switch. Be easier then pulling out PS2/laptop to play those on. Final note, Lego Star Wars started on PS2 and Xbox, it makes me feel old saying that.

Think the PS2 and then full collection on PS3 Lego games were better, also we got the Clone Wars series Lego game during the PS3/360 generation. Fighting over systems in that game was fun. Reminded me if Empire at War and if really old timer Star Wars Rebellion PC.
8:53 and rip. Since then they’ve admitted going back on their word. No restored content mod
It was issues with the mod itself and Nintendo. Ask the creators of TRCM
I wish something like force unleashed got combined with battlefront
I would eat a monkey to get the Rogue Squadron trilogy on the Switch. Live.
...we need to find a monkey.
Great video, and I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on these games! Jedi Outcast on the original Xbox drove me nuts with it’s jumping, which is something I really don’t like in first person shooters. Is the squad management in Republic Commando tedious at all?
Not at all! It's very streamlined and easy to do. :)
No Battlefront is the stupidest business decision by Lucas.
What is the first game? I am supposed to play.?
3:32 It isn’t an N64 game, the much better PC version released on Day 1. the Switch port is essentially the Dreamcast version.
Even with that sith lords is by far better then original kotar
i love the star wars unleshe don pc i just hate when u get hit u fall back in slow motion everytime is so annoying
Force unleashed old gen ver is superiors in almost every aspect. Over all combat feels better after maxing Starkiller, force feels more powerfull - even if physics is worse far more objects react, there is more content and better story pacing.
Thank you so much, I did not know the force unleashed was a Wii port! I think I'll give that one a pass for now
The reason they did it was for motion controls
Great Video !
Each port of force unleashed where different and very fun. Wii/ps2 are A- it the played first.
Jedi academy is the sequel to outcast, not the other way around. There is an old pc game that is the original that outcast is the #2 of. Academy is the more recent release.
Shoot! Thank you for the correction - I appreciate that! :)
15:55 rank list
What's the best controller to play republic commando? I still need to configure my controls right.
I disagree entirely with the jedi knight games, they were both S tier for me
I can respect that. They've just never clicked for me. Thank you for watching!
Yes the Lego Star Wars game the new one I could not get into the original ones are much better to me because the new Lego Star Wars levels are way to short compared to the original ones like you said that really threw me off
Would of been perfect if you of yelled that line
The Jedi Academy Slander will not be tolerated.
What are you talking about? What slander? all he said was it didn’t click for him! What can you not tolerate somebody having a different opinion than you? 🤦♂️
Republic Commando is D Tier.
It is one of my absolut favorite Star Wars games. But the port is terrible.
You may have said it when the video started, but how do we put on the notification Bell on your subscribe thing? Sorry it's just such a troubling task in all honesty my my cells and my atoms are now distraught with rewinding it to find out 😂
I can send you a picture of my screen if you want.
If I mentioned the notification bell, I must have been having an out of body experience, because I hardly ever have after my first year making videos. 😂
But if you legit actually want to know when my goofy ass posts a video - I'm pretty sure you just click subscribe, and then click the subscribe button again and you can choose which notifications to receive.
The wii version is the best version of the force unleashed though
I hear you, I respect your opinion, and vehemently disagree.
Try the Star Wars games on playstation 2Try the Star Wars games on playstation 2 I found some interesting ones
Rogue Squadron.
Is a magnificent series, and decidedly not on the Switch.
Do these come in physical copies?
Great question! I'm 99% sure all of them do - but there's a few that are exclusively through Limited Run Games, so you might not be able to get them as readily as you may like.
Thought Lego console games starting on GameCube tbh
Sure did, but this is specifically about Star Wars on the Switch. Unless I'm misunderstanding, in which case my apologies. :)
Jedi academy gets everything that star wars is saber battles force powers blows all the other star wars away easy second the oringinal battles fronts not the new ones
putting jedi outcast and academy at c is a crime
Play them today on the Switch and tell me either of them are above average. They might have been incredible upon their release, but ranking them TODAY as the version on the Switch, they are - AT BEST - average.
@@SquarePegs i have played them both on switch and they are amazing, you are entitled to your opinion but you cant change mine or pretty much most peoples.
Dude, it’s his opinion. Get over yourself. 🤦 don’t like it don’t watch the video 🙄
To be honest, I started playing Jedi Academy and it was all right. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t super fun either. 🤷♂️
hello there.
It's over, Rafaël. I have the high ground!
@@SquarePegs I need my legs bro!
Jedi academy, force unleashed,republic commando,Idc if im going banrupt
(I totally disagree whit your opnion but i respect it)
(A little bit)
(Like i only respect 0,1 of it)
(SUCKER-)
...sucker? That seems uncalled for. I mean, you're the one with the terrible taste in video games here. 😜
Nah, seriously - it's all love. Thanks for checking the video out, I appreciate it!
@@SquarePegs Im just tryng to do a joke.
...yeah, I gathered, hence why I joked back, my guy. :)
such disrespect towards jedi knight.
And I'd do it again.
@@SquarePegs You weak fool!
Straight blasphemy on outcast
I've never had much use for organized religion, blasphemy works just fine for me.
😂😂😂 my man
Dude, his video his opinion get over yourself 🤦♂️
Ranks Star Wars PINBALL higher than TFU, Kotor 2 and the Jedi knight games. Also mistakes JK2 as the sequel to JK3.
Nerd rage: *intensifies*
Yep, and I'd rank it higher again today. It's a better made game than all of those Switch ports.
Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!
Oh, for fuqs sake, imagine somebody having a different opinion than you 🤦
Great video! This is exactly the type of video I wanted, thank you
Thank you for watching!
Didn't think of pinball, and I do own that game 😂
Lego Skywalker Saga seems to be my favorite, yet do not own other SW games than pinball so far.
Yet do own Skywalker Saga on (whispering) PS4 🤠
Now if they would just release Rogue Squadron (GameCube) updated for today!
Release all three in one package like Sony did for the Nathan Drake collection!
I have not played a Star Wars game, no not even a Lego version.
What I got most from this video is your great ability to be objective. Even if you have nostalgia googles, I appreciate that you’re taking them off and being honest.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you saying that. If I can suggest one game - Jedi: Fallen Order on the PS4.
Is this RGTs Dad
Yo, that's a new one. I've heard John Hancock's brother, Tom Segura, wish dot com Jack Black, and the lost Belushi brother.
But this one's new. Well done.
@@SquarePegs to be fair you kinda do sound like RGT-85 😂
Problem they ruin the oringal game play in the past had with the heritage package
Thank you. It ready help me to know which one to get.
I loved playing starwars battlefront elite squadron on the psp as a kid. I wish they’d remaster it on the switch
I've never played that on the PSP! I'll have to check it out, thanks for the heads up!
What would you rank The Force Unleashed on other consoles?
What is S rating mean? Mean better then A?
Yup, that's it exactly. Think 'Superior'.
Everything he said about Jedi Academy is how I've always felt about KoToR
Ain't nothing wrong with differences of opinion. Thanks for watching! :)
@SquarePegs what games do you want them to port next? I would love to see either Battlefront or Bounty Hunter. Revenge of the Sith would also be awesome. I also assume they will put out Focre Unleashed 2 at some point since they already did the first one. I want them all lol.
Gah - missed this reply, Mike - my apologies!
I'd want to see Battlefront, definitely. Bounty Hunter would be great. Jedi Power Battles could be fun in a weird way - maybe a 16-bit collection? The SNES games and GBA titles? There's so many to choose from. :)
He just doesn't like FPS games. Outcast was a god damned classic not "Just a C"
Ah, yes, I don't like an FPS game. That's why I gave Republic Commando an A. And I guess those hundreds of hours over the years in TF2, TimeSplitters, and House of the Dead must have been imagined. 😜
I'm glad so many people love Outcast. Truly, I am! The Switch version - specifically this release that I'm talking about - doesn't land for me. I don't hate it, that's why I gave it a C as an average score, but it's not something I've got rose colored nostalgia goggles on for.
House of the dead is not an FPS
@@SquarePegs
@@SquarePegs Maybe it's because I played it and every other Dark Forces game on PC
@@TjM1978 Okay, valid - it's on rails but it is first person, that's what I get for typing before coffee. 🤣
@@TjM1978 PC is a different beast entirely, definitely! It's significantly more enjoyable there.
