Croc Legend of the Gobbos review

System: Switch
Release date: April 2, 2025
Developer: Argonaut Games
Publisher: Argonaut Games

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos first emerged in 1997 as a 3D platformer developed by Argonaut Software and published by Fox Interactive on the original PlayStation. Originally conceptualized as a Yoshi-centric racing game for Nintendo, it took on a life of its own when that collaboration fell through, leaving us with our adorable and plucky green crocodile set out on an adventure to free the charming little creatures that rescued and reared him. Brown, fuzzy, and cute to boot, the Gobbos are scattered all around the islands and apparently only Croc was spared – leaving him in the best position to start on those rescue efforts.

Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster

August 28: Today, Argonaut Games announced that a remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is now in development. It will launch in 2024 on “all the current consoles” – which should include Switch.

Argonaut Games actually closed in 2004. However, today’s announcement reveals that the company is now making a comeback two decades later.

Argonaut Games will always be remembered for its work on Star Fox and the Super FX tech for the SNES. But the company could have gained even more recognition had history gone down another way.

The Virtual Boy was Nintendo’s first crack at a VR-like experience, but Argonaut was developing its own system around the same time. Known as the Super Visor, the device would have been more powerful with full-color graphics and ‘head-tracking. It was ultimate scrapped in favor of the Virtual Boy.
