Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing

Resident Evil 4 looks great.

That's the one I'm like, "Wow," because I played it on my ROG Ally and I was like, "This is just not a great port." Then I bought it on Mac, and the Mac port is fantastic by the way, um, for the five of us that have Macs and game on them.

[laughs] As are the Resident Evil 2 and 3, uh, ports.

But I'm, yeah, I'll, I'm just gonna buy them 'cause then I'll have, uh, all the Resident Evils on my thing, on my Switch 2 anyway, 'cause I have 7, 8, 9.

Did you...

I saw a stat that s- I think Nintendo Life published that said that s- uh, physical media has risen 631%, and mostly game key cards.

And there was a, there was one thing a couple months ago that happened where some, like so- some developer or something talked a little bit about game key cards and why they choose them.

And we, we had heard before that it was, a lot of it has to come down to speed as they, they're not fast enough they feel like.

For a series as storied as Star Wars, one brimming with more spacecraft and speeders than George Lucas has beard bristles, it borders on baffling that developer Fuse Games' Star Wars Galactic Racer can arrive in 2026 as the first new game of its kind in over two decades.

I blame Super Bombad Racing, if only because Gungan isn't a real language, and using a portmanteau of bomb and bad in the title was probably never the perfect pathway to sales success.

Galactic Racer, on the other hand, has a range of impressively customizable vehicle classes that expands the hangar well beyond classic pod racers, gorgeous course design, and an impressively credible and explorable world outside the on-track action.

It's an eye-catching and rich resurrection of Star Wars racing that's as fast as it can be surprisingly unforgiving.

You got, uh, you got Super Bombad Racing, of course.

Of course.

Where, um, it's like big-headed characters.

And you think, "Oh, I've got such fond memories for Episode I Podracer." Was it Gun- Gundabad Racer? W- which one? Not Gundabad, that's "Lord of the Rings".

Bom- Bombad Racing?

Bombad Racing, wasn't it? Yeah.

On that one.

You had Star Wars Racer, of course, the classic in '99, then there was Racer Revenge.

Also sandwiched between those two there was Super Bombad Racing.

Never let it be said that we forgot about Super Bombad Racing on Button Mash.

There was also Racer Arcade.

All of those came out in the blink of an eye, and then these games go away.
