Limited Run Games has requested Nintendo temporarily remove its Gex Trilogy from the Switch 2 eShop.
The Gex Trilogy, which bundles together the cult-classic 90s platformer Gex and its two sequels, launched earlier this week across PC, PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and both Switch consoles.
But while things appear to have gone swimmingly across most platforms, the trilogy wasn’t working as intended on Switch 2. A number of Limited Run Games titles which run on its Carbon Engine had compatibility issues with the new console, however a recent firmware update released by Nintendo last night resolved the majority of these. But, alas, the Gex Trilogy was not one of them.
Sharing an update on social media, Limited Run Games said: “Since we do not have clarity on when Gex Trilogy on Switch 2 will be fixed in firmware, we submitted our own patch last week to correct the issue.”
However, due to the Juneteenth holiday across the pond, this patch is still awaiting approval. While Limited Run Games hopes to issue the patch early next week, it has requested Nintendo for the time being removes the game from the Switch 2 eShop.
“Thank you for your patience as we work with Nintendo to resolve these issues,” Limited Run Games wrote, before sharing a list of its games that are now Switch 2 compatible following that aforementioned firmware update.
This list is as follows:
- Clock Tower: Rewind
- Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection
- Tomba! Special Edition
- River City Girls Zero
- A Boy and his Blob Collection
- Rocket Knight Adventures
- Shantae
- Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection
- Xtreme Sports
- Trip World DX
- Felix the Cat
- Rendering Ranger R-2: Rewind
The Gex Trilogy has otherwise been a successful launch for the team at Limited Run Games. Soon after its more modern debut, the publisher announced the PAL versions of Gex 2 and Gex 3 – which feature the vocal stylings of Leslie Philips and Danny John-Jules respectively – will be added in an update.
“We’re excited for European Gex fans to relive these games the way they remember and for others to hear them for the first time,” Limited Run Games said at the time.
