Weekend gaming - Super Star Wars on the Wii

DC Online Universe got a good session this weekend but my main gaming action was retro. In particular Super Star Wars, which I downloaded onto the Wii. Either my gaming skills were sharper the last time I played this in 1993 – very likely – or Super Star Wars is just incredibly tough. The jumping in particular is horrible and tumbling down a Jawa sandcrawler for the umpteenth time was not quite the nostalgic treat I had planned. It may not have the wow factor of – gulp – 18 years ago, but the game still looks and sounds pretty good. It just doesn't play that well. However an updated version of Super Star Wars – and Empire and Jedi of course – for the DS or PSP , complete with more friendly controls, would surely be a hit? What do you think? And more generally, how was your weekend gaming?
