Here is a recent good example. Everyone constantly scolds Electronic Arts, and they took and provided people with wonderful Need for Speed and Burnout ports.

Gyro is here now, Switch in handheld greatly benefits from it (for those who want it), so the minimal effort required when porting a game over that requires aiming, for me to still consider buying it, is adding gyro options.

In any case, thank you for the information, I did not mean to offend you or reproach you in this way. It's just not nice that developers are starting to be careless about porting old projects to the Switch. Naturally, in such a hurry, I can also offend the reviewer, saying that they did not take into account all the nuances very carefully. If there are any technical difficulties, then it is better to abandon the porting altogether and not disgrace yourself. For this, users give money and not small ones. This is similar to the situation with the PS Vita. There were also "random encounter" levels where you had to escape asteroids, fight TIE Fighters, and maybe a couple of other ones, if I remember correctly. Those would pop up when you selected a regular level, and had to complete them before you got into said regular level.

Star Wars Episode I Racer: Choose from 25 playable racers including: Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba, and Ratts TyerellNguyen, Cal. "Star Wars: Episode I: Racer (DC) - Review". AllGame. Archived from the original on November 20, 2014 . Retrieved November 20, 2014. Star Wars Episode I: Racer was developed and published by LucasArts for Windows in May 1999. [7] Development took approximately two years. Upon completing Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, two of its project leads began initial development. Tools included 3D Studio Max, Alias Wavefront, and Autodesk Softimage. Multiple graphical application programming interfaces (APIs) were tested, including 3dfx Glide, OpenGL, and Direct3D. Ultimately the game shipped with only Direct3D support because according to project lead Brett Tosti, when testing Glide and OpenGL the developers "didn't see any performance increases so didn't add support". [8] The team had to develop a physics simulation from only a few short film clips given to them. According to Tosti, their approximations ended up very close to the film: "We really didn't get to see how good our estimates were until the very end." [8] Project lead John Knoles emphasized that the team's goal was for a strong sense of speed. He stated they wanted to make it "feel like an eyeball-peeling racing game, where you're going so fast, you're just nervous". [9] Gerstmann, Jeff (January 28, 2000).

They are two separate physical releases, each containing the latest ports of their respective games — they were released digitally before, and have been handled by Aspyr, who are also releasing a Knights of the Old Republic port for Nintendo Switch this November, ahead of their long-anticipated remake of the same game for PS5 and PC. THQ Nordic was brought in to handle the distribution of the physical re-releases, which kind of nullify most of the value that Limited Run’s expensive physical copies had.
