Flashback 25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition appears to be coming to North America after all
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
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.

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.

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.

Flashback 25th Anniversary launches June 7 for Switch, collector’s edition in Europe and Australia
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A couple of days ago, we came across a listing for Flashback 25th Anniversary on Amazon Germany. It was the first time we had heard about the Switch release since Microids’ announcement last year.
Microids has now officially confirmed that Flashback 25th Anniversary is heading to Switch in June. A collector’s edition will be sold in Europe and Australia (folks in the US can import from Amazon Germany here), which certainly makes the €39.99 price tag from Amazon Germany more justifiable. Included inside is a physical copy of Flashback 25th Anniversary, a retro cartridge style metal case, an exclusive numbered metal card, a 24-page retro-style instruction booklet, and the digital soundtrack (remastered version).
