Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for the Game Boy Advance released 21 years ago today on May the 4th, 2005.
While Xbox and PS2 got their action title the same day, the handhelds got a classic 2D beat 'em up.
It plays great. You can tell they put a ton of heart into it.
The game gives you two characters to play the entire story as, Obi-Wan and Anakin. Each one has a unique skill tree to upgrade as you go and force powers to play around with.
Obviously, those stories vary just a tiny bit in the movie, so the game reflects it.
Aside from the fun 2D brawling, there's some light platforming and puzzles, while the DS even offered vehicle sections to help break up the action.
Both versions feature boss fights that further alter the gameplay to better serve the 1v1 nature. The movie has some legendary duels, so you likely know what to expect. #StarWarsDay #RetroGaming
So here's another lil indie oddity for you guys. It's a MUGEN game from 2006 called Babel Sword, which basically plays like pumped up Psychic Force with mechs. Great production values all around (even has an opening cutscene). Pretty unbalanced, but that's the norm for MUGEN.
