  • Our take on the Star Wars Episode I: Racer

    Star Wars Episode I: Racer is the 1999 podracing game rebuilt for Switch, with over 21 racers, more than 21 tracks across 8 worlds, and split-screen plus online multiplayer. It is a fast arcade racer where you manage engine heat and repair damage between laps, and the Switch port adds modern controls and online play. It suits fans of the film's podrace and anyone wanting a quick arcade racer, though its 1999 visuals and limited depth show next to modern racers.
