Gex Trilogy Launches on Nintendo Switch Next Month

Well, guess what? Limited Run Games decided to drop this bomb about the Gex Trilogy, and let me tell you, they’re not skimping on the nostalgia. Set your timer or whatever, ’cause it’s hitting Nintendo Switch on June 16, 2025. Crazy, right? Three editions, because, why not, huh?

Oh, the games? Classic. We’re talking the OG 2D Gex, plus those wacky 3D sequels: Gex: Enter the Gecko and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. They’ve sprinkled some modern magic—rewind and save anywhere—thank the gaming gods for that. And widescreen! Like, it’s about time these lizards got the right angle. Plus, movement’s smoother than that time I tried roller skating and fell into a bush. True story.

Now, these editions? Man, they’re something. Like…

Standard Edition at just $39.99. You get the basics—a disc or cartridge, that classic game case (I swear, just looking at one brings me back), a cover, and a booklet that’ll probably end up in the bathroom magazine rack. It is what it is.

Classic Edition for $74.99. All that plus a steelbook, double-sided poster (two looks, how fancy), a mini soundtrack, and a retro-style box that might smell like your neighbor’s garage sale. Curious? You bet.

And then there’s the Tail Time Edition for a whopping $199.99. Who even comes up with these names? Anyway—besides the usual, you also get a giant inflatable Gex. Because everyone needs that, right? Plus a statue, trading cards, a remote pin (whatever that is), the full soundtrack, and a collector’s box featuring art by Yoshitaka Amano. Yeah, Amano. That’s some high-brow stuff.

Mark your calendars, dudes—digital’s dropping on the eShop June 16, 2025. But if you’re into the physical jazz, they’re shipping later. Pre-orders are open till July 6, 2025. So, you’ve got time. Or not. Who keeps track these days?

Anyway. That’s the scoop. Gex is slithering back, and who knows, maybe your inner child is doing the happy dance. Mine’s just looking for snacks.
