June 16: 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.
