There are well over 100 games based on Star Wars, from the excellent SNES trilogy to Republic Commando on Xbox and PC. You can find many of these hits in stores and online, but a few either never appeared on consoles or debuted so long ago that we forgot how much fun they are. On that note, here’s a short list of our most wanted Star Wars titles that need to reappear as DLC for WiiWare, Xbox Live and/or PSN.

Explore the enduring legacy of 'Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire' on its 27th anniversary, a game that revolutionized storytelling and gameplay in the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a video game that was released in 1996 and is set in the Star Wars universe. It was developed by LucasArts and published by Lucasfilm Games, and it was released for the Nintendo 64 and PC platforms.
Wow. Nostalgia hitting hard. Younger gamers, when this game came out the opening Hoth level had some of the best graphics ever seen lol. Along with Mario 64.
I'm not sure how we beat these bosses as kids. IG88 is a nightmare and I only beat him by cheesing. No clue how I beat Boba Fett and Xizor.
Will never forget on Christmas morning cracking open that game. Putting it on and being blown away by that Hoth level. That boss level with Boba Fett seems to stick out for me. Just awesome! The graphics were so dang good!
At the time the game was kinda hard to get I recall, along with Super Mario 64. Damn those were some good times!
It went for $75 at launch. People forget how SNES and N64 games regularly sold for $60-80/each.
Great games though.
Got this game ages ago for the N64 and loved it. Bought it a couple years ago on Steam for nostalgia purposes. The control scheme makes it not age well.
Had a lot of fun playing this game. There were so many codes. You could play as Wompas, stormtroopers/snowtroopers and even At-Sts on the Hoth level. Lots of good memories. I know I've said it ad nauseam but this game got me into Star Wars at a time when it just wouldn't click with me. SOTE changed everything for me. With so many Star Wars games being ported to modern consoles these days I was hopping this one would be in the cards eventually. It needs a lot of work but I'm sure it can be done.
TechRaptor writes, "Who doesn’t love trains? They can be a reminder of a by-gone era of the mighty locomotive, as well as a glimpse of a hopeful future filled with high-speed travel by rail. Whenever a game introduces a train, it’s easy to get excited over the design and challenges this level may bring. Whether it’s an aesthetic set piece or a labyrinth of cars to make your way through, here’s our list of our top ten favorite trains in video games."
It is. There's no way a list of this type of any credibility would forget that train.
Not sure if I'd really want the Ep. 1 pod racer, but all the others we loads of fun.
I spent hours with Racer...maybe because I didn't have another game like that on Dreamcast.
Loved Shadow of the Empire one of my favorite N64 games. The the problem with it now is that the controls are horribly dated. A VC version would carry over the same controls. Would rather see them do a remake even if it looked the same just update the controls.
i dislike every star wars game made besides the knights of old republic series...
I want to see the Star Wars trilogy arcade game for Kinect or Wii. Pod Racer for N64 would be fun on there too.
