Plug-n-Play Star Wars

gallery_111084_186_40026.jpg

i picked this up at a flea market for $5. it came with batteries. it was one of those deals where the guy goes "yeah it works, the light turns on". after i explained to him that the light doesn't mean its working, only that it has power, i got the deal.

i like these plug and play games because they are fun. most of the ones i've tried have 4-5 mini games that are worth playing. the problem is that these retail in stores for around $25. they go lower and they go higher, but usually i see them in that price range.

this star wars one i've been wanting to try out since i first saw it. being a product of the 70s i grew up on star wars. this game was hard to pass up because the really cool shape of the controller.

here is the official info on it...

[quote name=info]
The battles of Episodes IV, V and VI provide the backdrop for four fast-paced games. Lightsaber Duel allows you to recreate some of the most memorable and intense scenes from the films. Assault on Hoth pits the Rebel Alliance against the unstoppable Imperial Army's ground forces. Take control of an X-wing fighter as the Imperial Fleet attacks in waves of laser-blasting action. Help Chewbacca destroy the Death Star shield generator on Endor then take control of the Millennium Falcon and blast the reactor core to blow up the Emperor's ultimate weapon.

the lightsaber duel is fun but its a bit hard to control. the game has these detailed instructions but none of those moves are easy to pull off. the other mini-games i am really enjoying. i love the assault on hoth game. you run up and down firing off lasers while trying to last until the end of the level. i've made it to level 5 so far. its a pretty simple game but very addictive when played in small increments. the other games are pretty fun too. i like the one on the planet of endor, you get to zoom around on speeders and kill stuff.

here is a crappy review but it shows off the games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmOQOMTYNv8

i would recommend this to anyone who likes mini-games or anyone looking for a gift for a kid. i got a kick out of it because i'm a video game nerd and i grew up playing with star wars toys.

XD plug and play games...haven't thought of those for a loooong time.

I have the Plug-And-Play for episodes 1-3. I haven't played them in a long time but they are still good fun.

    I'm almost certain fucking Google fibers modems blocking out PPPoE signals

    Like the 6th time I had to reboot this router trying to get PPPoE active
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.
     +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you

    My psychiatrist tried to help me once said it was mine 9 months later

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just ask in the forums if anybody has done it, I don't know of anybody who has, or would risk it.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Baby daddy issues lol
