LucasArts VC Games

[Aug 10, 2009, 11:58 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Computer and Video Games has what may be the old school LucasArts announcement teased Friday. Update: It is, as confirmed on Twitter. They are announcing three games coming to the Nintendo Virtual Console, saying Super Star Wars may be available even as these words are written. Word is: "Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi will be added later and all three (which were originally released for SNES) will set you back 800 Wii Points each."

Holy letdown!

Darn, I'm sad to hear this as well.

I guess hope is not lost yet. At the very least they're showing some inertia by releasing older titles little by little. First Steam and now Nintendo's Virtual Console.

So assuming they don't just decide to stop all of a sudden, it's possible they'll get to it eventually.

I guess it depends on what marketing and IT tell them. If marketing says they'll probably sell x copies and IT says it's going to take $y USD to either make the games compatible or upgrade them then it all comes down to whether they think it's worth it.

I guess the VC copy was a no-brainer for them. It's probably minimal effort (if any) to get an SNES game VC-ready.
