According to an ESRB listing, Konami intends to bring back the classic Felix the Cat game as a re-release for Switch and other platforms. An official announcement should follow soon.
The classification was just added to the database. It’s described as “a collection of action platformers in which players help Felix save his girlfriend from an evil professor. Players traverse 2D pixelated environments while using gadgets and vehicles (e.g., punching glove, tank, submarine) to defeat small cartoony creatures. Enemies typically fall from the screen when hit; some boss encounters depict whimsical pistol attacks, cartoony bombs, and mild explosions.”

System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2023
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Even though I’m a certified Old-Head that writes about games, it’s difficult for me to properly encapsulate the cultural importance that Metal Gear games once exuded both pre and post release. The hype surrounding anything series creator Hideo Kojima touched was intense and all-consuming. Rest assured that if there was ever a month in which a new Metal Gear game was being released, just about nothing else mattered. The franchise has always been rightly held up as an example of unbridled creativity and auteur sensibility within the games industry – following the release of Metal Gear Solid V in 2015 however, Kojima left Konami under less than ideal circumstances. Rumors swirled regarding creative disputes and budgetary constraints – and following a poorly received Kojima-less spinoff in 2018, Metal Gear was put to bed.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 won’t be perfect when it releases this week on Switch and other platforms, but the good news is that Konami has confirmed plans for post-launch updates. It seems that all of the games will be touched up in one way or another to address issues.
For Metal Gear and Snake’s Revenge on NES, players may find that the timing of some subtitles doesn’t match up with the audio, but a patch will address this. Different visual options will also be added, including a CRT scanline filter, and the ability to change the pixel aspect ratio.
