With Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, perhaps one of the best Star Wars games is finally available Nintendo Switch available. Nintendo also included the title in its Nintendo Direct Mini, which was surprisingly released on March 26th. The Star Wars video game is still convincing today, despite its dusty appearance - and there is also a control system that has been specially revised for the Nintendo Switch.   


In the role of a Jedi student, fans can swing the lightsaber in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - and it works on the Nintendo Switch Thanks to the control overhaul, it's better than ever before. One of the best Star Wars games can still hold its own today - and not just among nostalgic fans.

Jedi Academy: Build your own lightsaber 

Many well-known games found their way to the Nintendo Switch in March, such as the new offshoot of the popular Life-Sim Animal Crossing with the subtitle New Horizons. Well-known and new, but somehow old, is Star Wars – Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The “third person” shooter has been available since March 26th Nintendo Switch .

What else was part of the Nintendo Direct Mini is here:

As the successor to Jedi Outcast, the story continues. Again, players slip into the role of a Jedi, this time as the padawan of Kyle Katarn - at the eponymous Jedi Academy. Players then choose from various missions, travel the galaxy and fight their way through hordes of opponents.

Exciting: As the game progresses, the proximity to either the light or the dark side of the force grows. In any case, the Jedi Academy clearly focuses on power and its power skills. That's what makes the classic, which is still entertaining today, so appealing, as well as the action-packed lightsaber fights. What makes this game one of the best Star Wars video games is its atmosphere. On every corner there is the typical "Star Warsyness", the little stories at well-known locations.

There is also a little gimmick: You can optically adapt your own character, and you can design your own lightsaber from the handle to the blade.

In addition, there is a grandiose multiplayer mode with real PvP modes, including Capture the Flag of Deathmatch. The multiplayer part is particularly exciting because of its lightsaber duels, of course against "real" opponents.

Jedi Academy is now available for Nintendo Switch and costs 19,99 euros as a download from the Nintendo eShop.
