Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

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.

Gex Trilogy review for Nintendo Switch

Posted on 3 weeks ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

System: Switch
Release date: June 15, 2025
Developer: Limited Run Games / Crystal Dynamics
Publisher: Limited Run Games

The Gex series is one that has been out of the limelight for a long time. While seen as unique and unconventional in his pomp, Gex has faded into obscurity. The gecko is best known these days as a bit of an internet meme, seen more in the ilk of Bubsy than of Sonic or Crash Bandicoot. Even still, the character had several big-time game releases and was the poster boy for Crystal Dynamics for quite a while, and that team has gone on to make some truly brilliant titles. Over time, the franchise has become increasingly less accessible, and so people who may want to try out Gex’s titles to see if maybe time has treated him too harshly. Thankfully, Limited Run Games has seen that cult desire for the wise-cracking TV addict to make a comeback, and have obliged with a trilogy collection of three adventures with the very first entry plus Gex: Enter the Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. In the past, I had only played Gex 2, and I was very young at the time, so when this collection was announced, I was very excited to play it again, as well as what came before and after. How do they hold up nearly three decades later?

Nintendo issued a new firmware update for Switch 2 last night, but what we didn’t know at the time is that has fixed Carbon Engine-based games on the system.

These are essentially classic titles that Limited Run Games had brought over to the previous console. We had recently heard that there were backwards compatibility issues on Nintendo Switch 2, though a “majority” now work properly – just make sure you download version 20.1.15.
