Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch – Episode I Racer + Republic Commando, 25 Podracers, Delta Squad Campaign, US Physical Edition

Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch puts two classic Star Wars games from Aspyr in one US retail box: the high-speed podracing of STAR WARS Episode I Racer and the squad-based first-person shooter STAR WARS Republic Commando. Both games were brought to Nintendo Switch by Aspyr in partnership with Lucasfilm, and this physical North American edition carries ESRB labelling.

Two Classics in Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch

The pairing is unusual and that is part of the appeal. One game is pure speed: you strap into a podracer and fly across alien worlds at breakneck pace. The other is a tactical shooter in which you lead a team of elite clone soldiers during the Clone Wars. Together they cover two very different sides of the Star Wars prequel era.

Both titles in Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch were originally sold separately on the Nintendo eShop, Episode I Racer in June 2020 and Republic Commando in April 2021. The combo gathers them in a single package for players who prefer a boxed collection on the shelf.

Episode I Racer: Podracing at Full Throttle

Episode I Racer lets you pilot a podracer through dangerous courses with flaming methane lakes, Tusken Raider attacks and anti-gravity tunnels. According to Nintendo and StarWars.com, there are 25 playable racers, including Anakin Skywalker, Sebulba and Ratts Tyerell, and the tracks are spread across 8 worlds such as Tatooine, Baroonda and Malastare.

Between races you can visit the Pit Droids to upgrade your podracer for higher top speed and better acceleration. Every course hides shortcuts and secrets that help shave seconds off your lap times, and the Switch version adds modernised controls with optional motion controls. Nintendo lists 1 to 2 players on a single system, so a friend can join you in split-screen.

Republic Commando: The Squad Is Your Weapon

In Republic Commando you are RC-1138, known as Boss, leader of Delta Squad. The other members, Fixer, Scorch and Sev, each have their own personality and voice. The campaign takes the squad into the Clone Wars to infiltrate, dominate and finally defeat the enemy, facing Trandoshan mercenaries and the flying insect warriors of Geonosis.

The key idea is squad command. You give orders to your team to eliminate targets, take strategic positions and heal one another in combat, while you use a range of weapons yourself. StarWars.com notes the game was first released on PC and Xbox only, so the Switch version is the first chance for many Nintendo players to try it.

Playing Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch on Switch and Switch 2

Both games in Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch play in TV, tabletop and handheld modes. Nintendo lists both Episode I Racer and Republic Commando as supported on Nintendo Switch 2, with game behaviour consistent with the original Nintendo Switch, so the box is also a good fit for owners of the newer console.

For comparison with Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch, Nintendo lists the separate digital versions at 254 MB for Episode I Racer and 3.2 GB for Republic Commando. Save Data Cloud is available for Nintendo Switch Online members in both games.

Who Will Enjoy This Box

Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch suits Star Wars fans who grew up with the prequel films, retro gamers who want two well-known titles at once, and anyone who enjoys switching between a quick arcade-style racer and a longer, more serious shooter. Racer works well for short sessions in handheld mode, while Commando rewards longer play on the TV.

Who This Is Not For

Star Wars Racer and Commando Combo Switch is not ideal for young children: Nintendo lists Republic Commando with the ESRB content descriptors Blood and Gore and Violence, while Racer carries Mild Fantasy Violence. Republic Commando is single-player only, with no online multiplayer described, and Racer offers local play for up to 2 players rather than online races. These are faithful versions of older games, so do not expect modern open-world design or current-generation graphics. This is a US box with ESRB labelling.
