While we don't celebrate it here in the U.S., that hasn't stopped the PlayStation Store from running a Golden Week sale on some very Japanese games in celebration. In Japan, it's Golden Week, that period of time when the bunching up of a bunch of holidays causes virtually the entire country to shut down for fun.(Last year's 'South Park: The Stick of Truth' owes more than a tip of the hat to 'Paper Mario.') Though it started out as a sequel to the Square-developed 'Super Mario RPG' on the SNES, 'Paper Mario' ended up creating a series of its own with faster action-based role-playing. It's not related to 'Star Wars,' but Nintendo has put its Nintendo 64 RPG classic 'Paper Mario' on the eShop for Wii U.There's also a Throwback Pack of the four, plus 'Dark Forces,' for $30. Included are 'Starfighter,' 'Bounty Hunter,' 'Episode III' and 'Racer Revenge.' Each game will normally set you back $10, but for this first week (until May 5), they run only $7.50 each.

Not to be outdone, Sony and Lucasarts have released four PlayStation 2 'Star Wars' games for download on the PS3.

Not included in either bundle but new to the service are the classic(?) full-motion video rails shooter 'Rebel Assualt' and its sequel.

The Saber Bundle ($23) includes all four parts of the 'Dark Forces/Jedi Knight' saga, plus both KOTOR role-playing games, 'Starfighter,' 'Battlefront II' and the wildly underappreciated 'Republic Commando.'īoth sales run until the wee hours of Thursday, May 7. TIE Fighter' and 'X-Wing: Alliance,' plus 'Rogue Squadron 3D' and the strategy games 'Galactic Battlegrounds' and 'Rebellion.' The Blaster Bundle ($39) includes the classic 'X-Wing' and 'TIE Fighter' flight sims, as well as the lesser-regarded follow-ups 'X-Wing vs. It's still a few days away on the calendar, but GOG.com has gotten a jump on celebrating Star Wars Day (May 4) with two big bundles of old PC games.
