Released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, Star Wars – Shutsugeki! Rogue Chuutai is the Japanese localization of the acclaimed arcade-style flight combat game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. Co-developed by Factor 5 and LucasArts, it puts players in the cockpit alongside Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance’s elite pilots. You will pilot iconic craftโincluding X-wings, A-wings, and Snowspeedersโacross a series of fast-paced, objective-based missions set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
How to Play
Missions require you to complete specific objectives, such as destroying Imperial installations or escorting Rebel convoys. You must manage your speed, aim carefully, and use the right craft for the job. For the web-based Nintendo 64 emulator, the default controls are typically mapped as follows:
- Steering (Analog Stick): Arrow Keys
- Primary Weapon (A Button): X
- Secondary Weapon (B Button): C
- Roll / Brakes (Z Trigger): Z
- Throttle / Camera (C-Buttons): A, S, D, F
- Pause (Start): Enter
Tips
- Use the radar: The HUD radar is essential for tracking enemy TIE fighters and quickly locating your next ground target.
- Manage your speed: Flying at maximum throttle makes you harder to hit but reduces your steering accuracy. Brake when lining up precision shots on ground targets like AT-STs or turrets.
- Tow cable technique: When piloting a Snowspeeder against an AT-AT walker, fly close to its legs and deploy the tow cable with your secondary weapon, then circle tightly without hitting the walker to bring it down.
