Whoa, okay, so here’s the scoop on Gex Trilogy getting this killer revival. Somehow, Limited Run Games just made it all official. Now, don’t ask me why I’m excited about a gecko — but there’s something oddly nostalgic and ridiculous about this.
So, apparently, they’re dropping this whole collection deal for the Nintendo Switch. It’s got the original 2D "Gex" and the two (maybe unexpectedly) famous 3D sequels: "Gex: Enter the Gecko" and "Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko." They didn’t just repack these; nope, they’ve added things — like you can rewind (who doesn’t make mistakes?) and save whenever you want. Bet I’d still mess it up somehow.
And get this, those sequels? They’ve gone all 16:9 widescreen, and you get full 360-degree control. Not even sure what that means fully — other than sounding pretty neat.
Now, they’re promising some physical editions that’re supposed to capture the ol’ glory of our tail-whipping hero. And currency alert, here are the choices:
-
Standard Edition for $39.99. You get the basics like the game case, disc, cover, and a booklet. Simple stuff, right?
-
Classic Edition for $74.99. Includes all that standard stuff plus a steelbook, a poster that’s double-sided (as if we flip posters?), a partial soundtrack CD, and this retro box for the vintage feels.
- Tail Time Edition for $199.99. This one’s got almost everything but loses the smaller CD and instead packs serious extras: there’s a wild 36-inch inflatable Gex (who even needs this?), a statue, trading cards, a remote pin, the full soundtrack (finally), and Yoshitaka Amano artwork on a collector’s box. Like, that’s a mouthful, right?
Okay, mark your digital and mental calendars — the trilogy drops digitally on the eShop on June 16, 2025. Physical editions? They’ll roll out sometime “later in 2025” (classic vague release dates, am I right?). If you’re itching to own it now, pre-orders are open on their site and close by July 6, 2025. Tick-tock!
There’s even a Gex Trilogy trailer teasing all this. Gotta say, not sure I needed any of this, but now I’m irrationally invested in a pixelated gecko’s renaissance. Go figure. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe… no, it’s definitely just me.
