2019's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, while not a game that set the world on fire, was still a really good multiplayer romp. That said, what was most surprising about it was how it came about in the first place: with Marvel and Square-Enix working on a big-budget Avengers game for PS4/XBO/PC, Marvel didn't want to leave the Switch out of the fun, and worked with Nintendo and Team Ninja to revive the MUA franchise.
What is even more surprising, however, is that another of Disney's biggest franchises, one that has seen even more game releases over the last few years: Star Wars, has not appeared in any form on the Switch. This despite it having a great home on other platforms, with Battlefront 1 and 2 and most recently the very well-received Jedi: Fallen Order. But on the Switch, nothing is announced outside of the next installment in Traveler's Tales popular Lego Star Wars series, which is also coming to the other platforms.
So could something be in the works? Nintendo fans lament to this day the cancellation of Factor 5 and LucasArts' Rogue Leaders for the Wii, which would have featured all missions from the ultra-popular Rogue Squadron series as well as new missions featuring motion-controlled lightsaber duels. While the game was 100% completed, it was never released due to Factor 5's bankruptcy, as well as the dissolution of LucasArts following Lucasfilm's sale to the house of mouse. Still, Julian Eggebrecht, Factor 5's president who has since reformed the company in 2017, has said he would love to see the game be revived on the Switch.
But what do you think? Will the Force awaken one day on Nintendo's wonderful hybrid system?
