Many are greatly anticipating the remake, while the Switch is just now getting the original. It and its sequel are still highly regarded, so the KOTOR remake's announcement caused quite a bit of excitement. Today, the original is playable on many devices, including iOS and Android, but news of yet another port on the heels of the remake's teaser unfortunately casts a less-than-flattering light on the Nintendo Switch. Knights of the Old Republic initially came out in 2003 on the original Xbox and PC. The original Knights of the Old Republic is still a fantastic game, if a bit dated, but the KOTOR Switch port's untimely announcement exemplifies just how far Nintendo's hardware is lagging behind the rest of the industry. Only weeks before, a complete remake of KOTOR was revealed for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Among the many announcements and trailers at the September 2021 Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republicis being ported to Switch.
