Perhaps my favorite part of yesterday’s Nintendo Direct was the announcement that the classic, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would be coming to the Nintendo Switch on April 20th. Quite possibly one of, if not the best game from the galaxy far far away, TFU introduced players to Starkiller; Darth Vader’s secret apprentice who single-handedly brought down an Imperial starcruiser using the force.
Coming from none other than Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games themselves, this is just another great Star Wars title that fans will be able to experience yet again. The version that the Switch will be getting is actually the Nintendo Wii version from back in the day.
Being as it’s essentially a port of the Wii version, there hasn’t been any talk of if there have been many updates made to the game itself. It is worth mentioning though that like playing on the Wii, players will be able to use the Joy-Cons’ motion controls to take immersion to the next level.
Key Features:
Play as Starkiller and destroy all who stand in your way on your quest to serve Lord Vader.
Unleash epic Force powers and lightsaber combos with optional Nintendo Switch Joy-Con motion controls.
Battle your friends in local multiplayer Duel Mode to determine the galaxy’s most powerful Jedi, with 27 characters to choose from!
Travel the Star Wars galaxy and defeat powerful Jedi Masters across a variety of iconic locations, including Cloud City, the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk, the floral planet Felucia, and the junk world of Raxus Prime.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed releases April 20 and is available to pre-order on the Nintendo eShop right now for $19.99.
