(Note: There are multiple Star Wars bundles on Nintendo Switch. If you want a breakdown of which bundles contain which games, please check this page.)
Star Wars: Grand Collection, released on Nintendo Switch in 2025 is a Compilation of nine remasters of Star Wars games released separately on Nintendo Switch over the last few years. You can look at this as an updated version of Star Wars Heritage Pack that includes two additional games released in 2025: the Nintendo Switch versions of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles.
I have separately reviewed these games. Here is what I thought of each of the games in this collection:
| Game | Genre | # of Players | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Star Wars: Bounty Hunter | Third-Person Shooter | 1 | C- |
tl;drStar Wars: Bounty Hunter is a Third-Person Shooter set between the events of Star Wars Episode I and Episode II, starring the bounty hunter Jango Fett. It was a serviceable but sub-par entry in the franchise back when it was first released nearly 25 years ago, and this remaster doesn’t change that. As Star Wars games go, you could do worse, but you could also do much, much better. | |||
| Star Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles | Action | 1-2 Co-Op (Local) | D- |
tl;drStar Wars: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is an Action game set during the first of the Star Wars prequels, and it’s even worse than the movie is. Everything from the combat to the platforming is terrible here, and the visuals haven’t aged well either. Do not buy this. | |||
| Star Wars Episode I Racer | Futuristic Racing | 1-2 Competitive (Local Splitscreen) | C+ |
tl;drStar Wars Episode I Racer is a port (not a remake) of the classic N64 podracing game, although taking off the nostalgia goggles reveals a racing game that’s visually ugly by today’s standards and doesn’t have too much going on in the gameplay department to set it apart. It’s decent, but not the great racing game many remember. | |||
| Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast | First-Person Shooter | 1 | C- |
tl;drJedi Outcast is a First-Person Shooter originally released in 2002, now cleaned up and ported to the Switch. The characters and story are as classic as ever, but the gameplay has aged very poorly, with terrible level design, bullet sponge enemies, a stingy autosave, and a slew of other problems. It’s still a game that’s full of charm, but by today’s standards it’s hard to enjoy this game. | |||
| Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy | First-Person Shooter | 1-16 Competitive (Online) | C- |
tl;drJedi Academy is a First-Person Shooter with some Third-Person Action originally released in 2003, now cleaned up and ported to the Switch. The gameplay here is improved in some areas over the previous game, but worse in others. Terrible level design, bullet sponge enemies, unreliable lightsaber controls, a lacking story, and a shallow and not especially fun online multiplayer mode are some of its major flaws. Overall, this is a game that only the most diehard fans will enjoy. | |||
| Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic | RPG | 1 | B |
tl;drStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a solid port of the classic RPG. Both the graphics and the gameplay have aged poorly in some areas, but much of what made this game great nearly two decades ago still remains intact. While it’s far from perfect, this is still a superb RPG and a great exploration of the Star Wars universe. | |||
| Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords | RPG | 1 | B- |
tl;drStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II is a decent port of the classic RPG. Both the graphics and the gameplay have aged poorly in some areas, but much of what made this game great nearly two decades ago still remains intact. This game isn’t quite as good as its predecessor, but it’s a solid follow-up, and one that fans of the first game should definitely play too. | |||
| Star Wars: Republic Commando | First-Person Shooter | 1 | C+ |
tl;drStar Wars: Republic Commando is still a decent First-Person Shooter even 15 years after its original release, but not an especially noteworthy one. While the game has aged reasonably well, it doesn’t do anything all that noteworthy for the genre. It’s still a decent entry in the genre, but without its license there wouldn’t be much here to recommend it over other more modern First-Person Shooters. | |||
| Star Wars: The Force Unleashed | Action | 1-2 Competitive (Local) | B- |
tl;drStar Wars: The Force Unleashed is an upscaled remaster of the Wii version of this Action game that results in what is arguably the best version of this game yet. The action here is delightful and this release polishes the game up and adds much-appreciated gamepad controls. At the same time, this is a pretty shallow and repetitive game, and some gameplay elements have aged better than others. Overall this is still an enjoyable Action game in the Star Wars universe, but not a great one. | |||
In short, most of these games are middling or poor, with the only standouts really being the Knights of the Old Republic games and The Force Unleashed. Since I’ve already compared this to the Heritage Pack, I’ll note that the two games added here bring down the average, with Jedi Power Battles being the absolute worst game in the bunch.
Looking at value, this bundle sells for a whopping $140, a full $60 more than the Heritage Pack sells for, despite that the two additional games only cost $40. And while the sale price might change things a little, as of right now this bundle has yet to go on sale.
In short, Star Wars: Grand Collection is a bundle with nine games but only a third of those are worth playing, it comes with a massive price tag, and even if you want each and every game in this bundle, there are less-expensive ways to get them. I’d tell you not to get this bundle, but at $140 I don’t imagine there was much of a likelihood of that happening anyway.
tl;dr – Star Wars: Grand Collection is a Compilation containing nine Star Wars games. Unfortunately, only three of these games are truly worth playing, and this bundle’s absolutely massive $140 price tag isn’t worth it even if you’re resolved to get all of these games, as there are much less expensive ways to get these games. But whatever the reason, you should absolutely not get this bundle.
