Gex Trilogy currently broken on Nintendo Switch 2, but will be fixed

For those looking to dive into the just-released Gex Trilogy, we do want to mention an important point if you plan on playing it on Nintendo Switch 2.

To put it simply, right now there are issues with backwards compatibility. You may find that as you’re playing through the collection, it’s flat out broken. One of our editors is playing through it now and encountered a kill screen with no way of progressing.

The good news is that we’ve already heard from Limited Run Games that a patch is in the works. In fact, Nintendo already has the update for review. We don’t have word on exact timing, but it “will be launching really soon”.

So what’s one to do in the meantime? We’d advise either playing Gex Trilogy on the original Nintendo Switch (if you have the system, which is what we’re doing currently) or hold off until the patch goes live. We’ll keep an eye on things and will let you know when it can be downloaded.
