Because it also works as a Pro Controller, it’s possible to play KOTOR with an N64 Controller! I know I got used to it as I played, but playing it once again on the Switch felt immediately familiar. Again, consoles are my main form of gaming, so playing KOTOR with a keyboard was strange to me. Honestly, I was shocked at how much playing this game with a controller back in hand. I’ve tried a number of things, but I get to a certain point in the story and it just shuts down.Ĭonsoles don’t do this to me (at least not normally). Even so, I was making my way through the story, only to be hit by a bug about 2/3rds of the way through where I simply can’t progress. 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. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Switch Version)įor the most part, the game is a pretty straightforward port of the classic game.
