Super Nintendo classic Super Star Wars is coming to PS4 and Vita this week

Battlefront isn’t your only source for interactive Star Wars entertainment this week.

The official PlayStation Blog revealed that the Super Nintendo classic side-scroller Super Star Wars will become available digitally for the PlayStation 4 and Vita (with cross-buy support) on November 17, the same day as the anticipated online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront. While Sony’s digital store offers plenty of PlayStation 1 games, it’s not often you see a Super Nintendo release come out on the platform. The Super Nintendo also happens to turn 25 on November 21.

This updated version will be “enhanced for PS4 with new save features, leaderboards, Trophies, and updated display and controller options,” the PlayStation post states.

Super Star Wars originally came out in 1992. It had two sequels, based on the other films in original trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back and Super Return of the Jedi.
