part of my wants to buy it, the other part of me remembers how frustratingly difficult it was and questions if I want to go through that shit again. It wasn't too long ago that the GBomb crew played it during a stream and had to say "fuck it" and turn on all kinds of cheats like 5 minutes in.
They got released on Wii VC. I'd assume that with Sony being the partner for all things Star Wars this year, Wii U versions of those games are on the backburner for now, if at all.

Will be interesting to see how an snes basic game looks on a new console..

I am definitely under the impression that, at least these PS2 Star Wars games, are ports and not emulated. I would be happy to seen otherwise.
But we have other evidence of PS2 Classics (like actually seeing Siren on a list of games somebody was playing) and I still anticipate their reveal at PSX.

because an SNES game was announced for PS4 and Vita?

Oh man. SSW will be mine. I wish they'd give Republic Commando the 'remaster' treatment. It was such a fun game even if it was a bit short.

I'm not expecting great results. Probably an overly sharp and pixelated upscale to HD. No minute softness, no scanlines... Just a big harsh image.

I remember the other two being better.
They were.

I hope they release them as well. I would think they would.
Jedi was definitely the best of the 3 from what I remember (graphically and gameplay/responsiveness). And yes Empire did have cheap deaths.

I remember Empire being panned for cheap deaths. It didn't score as well as I recall
What do you mean? What deal Sony has?
Which is really disappointing.
Nevertheless, I'm super stoked for these classics, especially super and bounty Hunter. Buying them day 1 along with battlefront.
Yeah I don't really understand how these deals go when the code is written on competitor console and they simply emulate said console.
Just them going in really hard on Star Wars, from the Battlefront co-marketing to wrangling up the deal for Disney Infinity where they have Boba Fett "exclusive" to Sony systems until the end of the year.

So yur saying there is a chance that Racer Revenge will be on PS4 and Vita with cross buy and trophies!?
Is the Mos Eisley bar boss still a cheap piece of shit?
Please say yes.
That's the only way you can beat it. You lose your plasma gun on jedi mode and you're fucked. Just don't crash into a tower on the second last level.
Edit, Well you can die towards the end of rescue of the princess or anywhere in the tractor beam level and be okay but that's it after you get inside the sand crawler.

master jedi will be hard to get.
I've done it on the SNES game recently. If you've played the game before and know what you are doing its doable so long as you get lucky with health swords in the bar level.

Someday Sony will treat all games equally.
my ps3 could only play NES games, thanks to the power of the PS4 we can finally play SNES games!

Because Nintendo does not own the IP, Lucas Arts did, now Disney.

Actually, this one in particular was supposed to come to PC too, but that release was eventually canceled.

I wonder if the PS4 game is based on the PC version that never saw the light of day (at least legally). And as such, I wonder if that means we only ever see the first game on PS4. I hope the fact the other two were only ever designed for SNES doesn't keep them from coming to PS4. Also, if STESB and SROTJ come to PS4, hopefully that could lead to releases of Rogue Squadron (mostly for II), KOTOR, and others on PS4.

It reviewed ok, but you're right, the honeymoon effect of note-perfect John Williams coming out of your SNES and Star Wars becoming fashionable again (this was around the time the Zahn novels and first home widescreen releases) having less of an effect the second time allowed us to see these games for what they were- rather simplistic, poorly designed and full of outrageous, impossible to predict or react to difficulty spikes. But man, they looked and sounded good.
Jedi's the one which feels most like a proper game. It won't screw you over for dying in a bad spot and having to fight your way out with an under-powered weapon, and the jump physics were a little floatier so as to give a better impression of control. Many of the problems of the first two games remain, though.
That said, I do love these games, stupid as they are, and will of course buy them if they come to PS4.
