News Aspyr Is Bringing Another Classic Star Wars Game To Switch This August

[admin]

​

Aspyr has today announced that 2002's Star Wars: Bounty Hunter will be blasting onto Switch on 1st August in an all-new package.

You might remember this third-person action-adventure from back in the GameCube days. In it, you play as Jango Fett (before his little run-in with Mace Windu, obviously) on a mission to capture a mysterious Dark Jedi. Expect all the trappings of classic Mandalorian combat as you blast, scorch and fly your way through the campaign.

As you might expect, this isn't a straight-up port and Aspyr has made some adjustments to the original game. This version boasts visual enhancements, improved textures, new dynamic lighting effects and a flashlight tool to assist in dark areas. There's also a Boba Fett skin which can be unlocked by completing the main campaign.

Here's a rundown and some screenshots from Aspyr:

Let the Hunt Begin: In this classic third-person action-adventure, you'll play as Jango Fett, Prime Clone of the Grand Army of the Republic, hired to capture a deranged Dark Jedi.
Relive the Timeless Tale: Experience the legendary Bounty Hunter fantasy set before the events of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones™. Face off against foes and maneuver through acrobatic battles in this adaption optimized for today's consoles and hardware.
Armed to the Teeth: Fight your way through the galaxy's underbelly, equipped with Dual Blasters, your Flamethrower, Whipcord, and pure Mandalorian Rage.

​

Looking at the trailer and screenshots, it's clear that the visuals have been cleaned up a notch, but we can't say that it looks like an absolute game-changer just yet.

Coming off the back of last year's Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, Aspyr has some serious work to do if it is to regain our trust in the Force. Only time will tell if it can pull it off...
