Star Wars Episode I - Battle for Naboo (N64) price, value & rarity
European edition of Star Wars Episode I Battle for Naboo, by Factor 5 and released in late 2000. A late PAL launch as the N64 wound down, which kept the European print run small and makes it scarcer than Shadows of the Empire. Complete PAL copies climb noticeably and sealed examples reach a premium. A technical cousin of Rogue Squadron, it benefits from Factor 5's standing and lasting interest in their N64 flight titles.
Is Star Wars Episode I - Battle for Naboo still worth playing in 2026?
A spiritual sequel to Rogue Squadron from LucasArts, Battle for Naboo takes place during The Phantom Menace and offers combat missions on land, in the air and on water, aboard various vehicles. The snappy pace, the variety of machines and the faithfulness to the world carry an effective, spectacular arcade action for the machine. The production, polished at launch, shows its age today. For a Star Wars fan or a fan of retro vehicle shooting, the title keeps a direct action pleasure and a real generosity.
