Alright, so picture this—Limited Run Games just kinda threw a bone to all us nostalgic gamers out there. They’ve said, “Hey, remember Gex?” and bam! Dropped the release date for the Gex Trilogy on Nintendo Switch. It’s like, “Oh wow, I didn’t even realize I missed that tail-whipping gecko until now.”
Here’s the scoop: they’re bundling the original Gex with its sequels, Gex: Enter the Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. And they didn’t just brush off the dust. Nope, they’ve spruced them up a bit—think Rewind features and the ability to save literally anywhere. Which, let’s be honest, is a lifesaver for those of us who get… easily distracted mid-jump.
Now, the 3D games? They’re showing off some tricks too. Full 360-degree analogue movement—quite the upgrade from my childhood memories of fumbling with clunky controls. Plus, they’ve thrown in native 16:9 widescreen, which, for some reason, feels like redecorating your bedroom in a way that just makes sense now.
Alright, let’s talk about these physical editions—which is where things get kinda wild. They promise to capture that good ol’ Gecko spirit, whatever that means. So, here’s what you can snag:
The Standard Edition runs at $39.99. Real simple. You get the basics: game disc, a case, some cover art, and a lil’ booklet.
Then there’s the Classic Edition, priced at $74.99. Adds some flair—steelbook action, a double-sided poster (because hey, who doesn’t love options?), and a CD with select tracks. Plus, it’s all tucked into a retro-style box. Collectors, start your engines.
And then, they crank things up with the Tail Time Edition for a whopping $199.99. Now we’re talking inflatables. Yes, like a 36” inflatable Gex—what on earth would you even do with that, right? Also, a 7” Gex statue, trading cards, a remote pin (because… why not?), and the full soundtrack. Oh, and some artwork by Yoshitaka Amano on the box. No cuts on the cool factor there.
Mark your calendars. Gex Trilogy hits the eShop on June 16, 2025. Physical editions are doing a “later in 2025” thing—real non-committal, huh? But pre-orders are already buzzing over on the Limited Run Games website. Hop over there before July 6, 2025, if you’re keen.
And, I mean, should I mention there’s a trailer? Not that I know where it is or anything. But hey, trailers are trailers. Go get ’em.
