I’m not much of a PC gamer, and with a youngling running around, I’m lucky to sit down at the computer long enough to get some writing work done, let alone any gaming. A little over a year ago, I started a replay of the game (my first in several years) on my PC. Honestly though, it’s still just about all I ever actually wanted out of this: a way to replay this game on a modern console. It’s a minor thing and doesn’t seem to affect actual gameplay (I suspended during a battle and it didn’t keep the action going), but it’s strange to see 40-50 hours of game time listed when I’m only in the intro section. For some reason the game doesn’t stop the clock when you put the console into suspended mode. But anyways…Īlso, there’s a weird quirk with the game’s internal clock.

Nothing more frustrating than getting hours deep into an RPG only to get whipped by a boss and realize your last save was a whole planet ago.

For one, some sort of auto-save feature would have been GREAT to see added in. Sure, there are some minor tweaks I would have loved to see implemented. This is a port, so what you’re getting is the original experience. Other than that, however, don’t expect any major updates. Honestly, it looks at least comparable in resolution to the PC version of the game you can download on Steam (without any mods and such of course). So yeah, it still very much looks like a game from 2003, but honestly, it’s pretty impressive how crisp/sharp the image is. There are some visual tweaks, allowing for proper/modern aspect ratio and giving the resolution a boost.

Now, blessedly, one of my all time favorite games, Knights of the Old Republic, makes the jump to the system.

At the time, it seemed like a pipedream, but over the years those dreams have been coming true. Pretty much since the announcement of the Nintendo Switch, I’ve continually thought about the ability to enjoy my favorite (retro) Star Wars games on the go. Knights of the Old Republic arrives on Nintendo Switch this week and while it doesn’t bring any new bells or whistles, it’s still worth picking up for the platform.
