Star Wars Episode I: Racer producer says the team is done a lot of work on controls

Star Wars Episode 1: Racer is coming to Switch on May 12th, 2020, letting the N64 generation revisit their childhood. That doesn't mean the game won't be updated thought. In an interview with StarWars.com, producer James Vicari talks about the work going into the game's controls.

Racer originally came out in an interesting time for controllers. We were really starting to see interesting things — rumble, multiple analog sticks. Even the shape of the N64 controller. So it’s sort of fitting that when you look at controls today, we’re seeing the same thing. Like the Switch Joy-Cons. You really want to make sure that the game plays well and embraces as much of the variations as possible for them. So we’ve done a lot of work to make sure that the game feels comfortable in all configurations, including playing with each individual Joy-Con. The team here is a big believer that the best control scheme is the one you don’t ever think about and that philosophy really permeates everything we’ve done with the controls.
