Flashback is experiencing a slight delay in Europe. The game has been postponed to June 19, applying to both the digital version and collector’s edition. It still appears to be on track for June 7 digitally in North America (the collector’s edition is looking like a July release).

Flashback for Switch is a new version of the SNES classic. Players can choose between the original 1993 experience and Modern mode, which contains post-FX graphic filters, remastered sound and music, a new “Rewind” function that’s variable according to the level of difficulty, and tutorials.

When Microids properly announced Flashback 25th Anniversary a couple of months ago, it was accompanied by some news about a collector’s edition. The thing is, there were only plans to release it in Europe and Australia.

It appears that the situation has changed since then. Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the Flashback 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, indicating that it will be available stateside.

The Flashback 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition includes a physical copy of the game, retro cartridge-style metal case, exclusive numbered metal card, instruction booklets, soundtrack, and exclusive collector’s box.

Update (4/11): Microids has confirmed that the demo will be available in North America on April 18.

Original (4/10): Super Chariot won’t be ready until May 10. But if you’d like to see what it has to offer ahead of time, you can download the new demo from the European Switch eShop.

Any Switch owner can download the demo so long as they have a European Nintendo Account. However, it should eventually be added to the North American eShop as well.

The Super Chariot demo takes up 466MB of space.

Last month, Microids and Paul Cuisset properly announced Flashback 25th Anniversary for Switch. The classic action-adventure game is coming to Nintendo’s console in June.

Flashback 25th Anniversary won’t be a simple re-release. The new Switch version features post-FX graphic filters, completely remastered sound and music, a brand new “Rewind” function which is variable according to the level of difficulty, and tutorials.

We have several screenshots from Flashback 25th Anniversary below, including a few comparisons.

Earlier in the year, Yesterday Origins was rated by the USK. It was a sign that Microids intends to bring the title to Nintendo’s console.

Amazon France is now listing Yesterday Origins for Switch as well. Assuming the retailer hasn’t pulled the information out of thin air, we can safely say this is happening. We also have the boxart attached above.

And here are some screenshots as well:
