    If they’re just prettying up the original, then sure. If it’s a remaster of the remake, EA can suck my sense of pride and accomplishment.

      Per Ars Technica:

      the collection includes two beloved LucasArts-developed online multiplayer shooters from the 2000s: Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2. Although it debuted during a Nintendo livestream, the collection won’t just be coming out on Nintendo Switch—it’s coming to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, too.

      The collection will include “restored online play for up to 64 players” of all the previous Galactic Conquest and Campaign mode content from both games on all platforms, including bonus maps and extras that were previously exclusive to specific consoles. Additionally, the Hero Assault mode will now be playable on all ground maps.

        This makes it sound like an update and reskin for the original, which would be AWESOME! Online play coming back will also be great.

        Really concerned about them doing the same EA BS last time around, though.

      I don’t think EA has anything to do with this one (luckily). Looks like it’s a remaster/rerelease of the original 2004/2006 Battlefront games, published by Aspyr (who I don’t think are affiliated with EA)
