A new Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite leak has spoiled the possible return of a classic 2005 Star Wars games. Developers and publishers have brought their classic games en masse to the Switch and Switch Lite, and so far this migration from the past has included the classic ports. Star Wars games. And now it looks like Star Wars: Republic Command participate in this migration to the Nintendo computers.
According to Nintendo Everything you need to update the data for Star Wars: Republic Command has been loaded onto Nintendo’s servers, again indicating that the 2005 game is not just coming to Switch and Switch Lite, but that an announcement and release is on the horizon, or in other words, sooner rather than later.
As noted, Aspypr is mentioned as the publisher, which is notable because they have been for Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, en Episode I Racer to the switch and switch. Meanwhile, Nintendo Everything also points out that this is exactly how several Switch games have leaked in the past, including both Paladins and Fortnite.
For those who do not know: Star Wars: Republic Command started in 2005, and first it was an exclusive Xbox before it came to a computer a few days later. That said, although the game came to a computer quickly, it never came to any Nintendo or PlayStation platforms.
‘Chaos has erupted across the galaxy,’ reads an official pitch of LucasArts’ tactical first-person shooter game. “As the leader of an elite group of Republic Commandos, it is your mission to infiltrate, dominate and eventually destroy the enemy. Your group will follow your commands and guidance and work together as a team – instinctively, intelligently “Immediately. You are their leader. They are your weapon.”
At the time of publication, Aspyr has not commented on this apparent leak. Neither Nintendo nor LucasArts. That said, if it changes, we’ll update the story accordingly.
Interestingly, this leak is due to rumors that Aspyr is working on a AAA revival KOTOR. Does this leak give credence to the rumors or vice versa? Well, that’s exactly what Star Wars fans are currently debating.
