New arrivals for Nintendo Switch consoles in August 2024
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Returns to Nintendo Switch on August 1
Get ready, Star Wars fans! The classic action-adventure game, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, is making a comeback on the Nintendo SwitchTM. Developed by Aspyr, the game will be released on August 1, 2025, offering fans a chance to relive the bounty hunting exploits of Jango Fett before his encounter with Mace Windu.
In this third-person action-adventure game, players will take on the role of Jango Fett, engaging in various bounty hunting missions that combine shooting, platforming, and exploration elements. The game, originally released in 2002, has been updated for the Switch with a new Boba Fett skin Easter egg.
While the new Switch release maintains the original gameplay, it is celebrated as a classic action-adventure title in the Star Wars universe. It distinguishes itself from newer Star Wars titles like Star Wars Outlaws, an open-world game with different gameplay mechanics, which was released earlier in 2024.
