While there had been a lot of activity going on with the "Star Wars" bandwagon, there were a glitches that were spotted. Among these was the reported incompatibility of three out of four "Star Wars" games that came out with the "Star Wars Mega Bundle" that was recently launched for PS Vita.

A PS Vita gamer reported the anomaly after downloading the "Star Wars Mega Bundle" in PS Vita. He said that "this is a warning to others like me who were thinking of buying it so they could play all the Star Wars PSP games on their Vita, don't. The bundle in question is listed as being 5.6GB on the PlayStation Store, but after purchasing it, only 'LEGO Star Wars III' would download." He even posted a photo of the failed attempt to download the games on PS Vita, based on a report from Gamer Thoughts.

The PS Vita gamer was able to report the incident and was also able to get a refund; however, he could not conceal his disappointment on what had just happened. Other gamers who commented on the report had been asking if it would be possible to transfer the games to either PS3 or PC instead. The games in question were "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed," "Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron" and "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." In any case, this must be checked by the people in-charge especially that the "Star Wars" hype train had been gaining momentum for the previous weeks.

In the meantime, PC gamers could check out the four "Star Wars" games that had landed on Steam. The four games were regarded as the best "Star Wars" PC games that were released. These games were "X-Wing," "TIE Fighter," "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter" and "X-Wing Alliance," based on a report from Engadget. The games would be available in Valve's store and would also include the games' expansion packs. "X-Wing" and "TIE Fighter" would even give the PC gamers a choice of playing either the "DOS-based originals" or the "Windows re-releases."

On the other hand, Zen Studios had just released "Star Wars Pinball: Star Wars Rebels." The latest addition to the "Star Wars" Pinball lineup would be based on the Disney XD animated series. The game would take place in between the events of the "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope," based on a report from ShackNews.

"Star Wars Pinball: Star Wars Rebels" would now be available on PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. The game's Xbox One, Xbox 360, Mac, iOS and Android editions would soon follow this week. Meanwhile, the four "Star Wars" PC games mentioned earlier could now be downloaded via Steam. As for the three "Star Wars" PS Vita games, hopefully the force would grow strong on the people in-charge as they look on the matter.
