Return of the Jedi was, IMO, the fairest one in terms of difficulty.

Probably yea, the Emperor was a proper bastard though.

 

[Masterspeed]

Drew Scanlon?

 

[Timu]

I can't beat the damn Sandcrawler stage in ANH. It's ridiculous.

Really? I beaten that years ago!!! The game gets worse in difficulty as well.

Mike @ AVGN did a proper play through last month that's impressive:

Game is rough. It feels like the game design consisted of making the levels then attaching a random number generator to every point on the screen to spit out enemies non stop. I think the only reason I beat it as a kid was because of some codes for power ups and lives.

I can get to the boss and usually die in like a second or two. Maybe you're just the Last Jedi.

 

[RedAssedApe]

best super star wars game

Oh brandonh83!

The last stage is brutal though.

 

[Markitron]

What is SSS?

Super Star Wars, back in the early 90's most people referred to ANH as Star Wars.

Just you wait until Mos Eisley and death star bosses

 

[brandonh83]

Never claimed to be a comedian!

 

[Foffy]

These games were dope. I thought they were pretty cool adaptations of the movies, but I imagine in retrospect, they omitted a lot.

Isn't Super Empire the hardest of three by a large margin?

 

[Timu]

I can get to the boss and usually die in like a second or two. Maybe you're just the Last Jedi.

Yeah I beaten the entire trilogy, fun but quite difficult games!

 

[Markitron]

Isn't Super Empire the hardest of three by a large margin?

Certainly gets my vote anyway

 

[Neff]

Super Star Wars, back in the early 90's most people referred to ANH as Star Wars.

I still do. I refuse to refer to Star Wars as A New Hope.

Isn't Super Empire the hardest of three by a large margin?

It starts off insanely hard but strangely gets easier, especially once you get the Force powers. But yeah, still the hardest of the three, easily.

 

[Sapiens]

All these super Star Wars games go above and beyond with the mode 7 use. Though, nothing beats super Jedis Death Star run. Nothing. I must have beat super Jedi five times the weekend I rented it.

 

[4lejandro]

I remember this one being the hardest of the 3, I also remember liking it better than the first one.

Still, young version of me managed to finish all three games when they came out .

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

I came for this

Spoiler

And for Star Wars...

 

[Kilau]

Super Star Wars, back in the early 90's most people referred to ANH as Star Wars.

I don't understand the third S, Super Star warS?

 

[brandonh83]

I still do. I refuse to refer to Star Wars as A New Hope.

I mean that's what it is lol

 

[krae_man]

This is advertising a May the 4th PSN sale.

Are you sure they just didn't just list the wrong game by mistake?

 

[brandonh83]

This is advertising a May the 4th PSN sale.

Are you sure they just didn't make a boo boo?

Yeah been over this on the last page, but it would be a ridiculous mistake if they got both the image they used AND the title of the game wrong in one fell swoop

 

[Markitron]

I don't understand the third S, Super Star warS?

Ah, didn't notice that, that was a typo

I still do. I refuse to refer to Star Wars as A New Hope.

Always been ANH to me, Star Wars is a series not one film, just calling it SW never made any sense to me.

 

[Vinsanity.]

Ah, didn't notice that, that was a typo

The last S stands for SYOSS

 

[krae_man]

Yeah been over this on the last page, but it would be a ridiculous mistake if they got both the image they used AND the title of the game wrong in one fell swoop

All good.

If it's not a mistake, and is an accidental leak. Avoid like the plague if Code Mystics is making this one too. I'm convinced nobody working there had ever played Super Star Wars before making it. They screwed up so bad and missed things that there's no excuse for missing.

 

[Kilau]

Ah, didn't notice that, that was a typo

Oh lol, I thought I was out of the loop on something as usual.

 

[Markitron]

Oh lol, I thought I was out of the loop on something as usual.

I know what you mean, I still can't figure out why people refer to the PS1 as the PSX (though strangely I never bothered to google it). I Just frequently press the S key instead of W.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Super Star Wars, back in the early 90's most people referred to ANH as Star Wars.

shouldn't it be SSW?

 

[Markitron]

shouldn't it be SSW?

I think we have covered that

 

[KJRS_1993]

This is awesome, Empire was the only one of the Super games I never got around to playing when I was younger.

Hope they eventually release Jedi as well so I
can have the entire collection.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Holy fuck I'm on this. Still got the SNES originals and the first game on my Ps4/Vita.

 

[Briarios]

Maybe it's releasing tomorrow as a surprise for May the Fourth ... If a mistake, that's crazy weird

 

[Markitron]

I'm hoping they release Jedi because it's easily the best one.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Is this better than the other SNES Star Wars?

Much better, though it still has a lot of the same 8-bit/16-bit era license game bullshit.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Why isn't this on my Switch.

 

[CamHostage]

All these super Star Wars games go above and beyond with the mode 7 use. Though, nothing beats super Jedis Death Star run. Nothing.

Gah, that Death Star Trench Run is a fun effect, but it is soooooooo long!

[jmdajr]

I have this game. I remember it being fun but a bit repetitive.

 

[chemicals]

I can't tell if they aged well because I am super biased (double biased, actually) I was a teenager when the Super Star Wars trilogy came to the SNES and I was also born in the 70's so I have been a Star Wars fan since I was too young to talk.

I think they are three of the best SNES games ever. Honest.

 

[Kart94]

So will it be selling the same ridiculous price as Super Star Wars?

 

[Data West]

Very cool. Very cool.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

May the 3rd be with you.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Am I the only guy who enjoyed the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game? I want that one on all consoles.

 

[Kresnik258]

I guess ESB could stealth launch tomorrow but you sure that's not a typo? Says it's on sale right now alongside a PSP version of the first Battlefront game that doesn't exist.

Just looks like a lazily written post to me as there are Star Wars Battlefront games on PSP.

Which makes me think they've probably just listed the wrong Super Star Wars game.

 

[Kart94]

I think this super duper gem should come to PS4

 

[Dishwalla]

Put it on the Vita too, the first one is on there.

 

[ghibli99]

A longplay for those interested in seeing what it's like

The graphics are actually a bit better than I remembered.

I think I'm still scarred from these games. The enemy barrage just in the opening moments is insane! LOL I honestly don't know if I ever got past Hoth (or Tatooine in SSW).

 

[btrboyev]

Is this better than the other SNES Star Wars?

Not really. The games have aged really badly

 

[modsbox]

I'll buy this right away, Empire was awesome.

Save states are a fantastic inclusion for these I think. I tried not to abuse them when playing through SSW on PS4 but definitely took advantage a few times.

There are some brutally cheap deaths in SSW, and I have a hard time seeing myself beating Empire without them, it was even tougher if I remember correctly.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

A friend of my brothers used to own a gaming shop with all the US/Japan imports, i got to own all three early before EU release, how the fuck I never burst a vessel in anger completeing them I don't know.

 

[Takao]

Hmm, back in March Code Mystics didn't sound like they were involved:

https://twitter.com/CodeMystics/status/834541810634534913

I doubt they did a port in a month. Could be another dev associated with it or it's a typo.
