Limited Run Games Requests Temporary Delisting of Gex Trilogy from Nintendo Switch 2 eShop
In response to ongoing backward compatibility issues, Limited Run Games has formally requested that Nintendo temporarily delist Gex Trilogy from the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop until a critical compatibility patch is approved.
The publisher announced the move via social media, citing technical hurdles that prevent the remastered platformer collection from running properly on the Switch 2 hardware—despite recent firmware updates resolving most compatibility issues for older Switch 1 titles.
Gex Trilogy, which bundles the 1995 Gex, 1998’s Enter the Gecko, and 1999’s Deep Cover Gecko, launched on June 16 across modern platforms. It marks the first major re-release of the cult classic series since Square Enix discontinued development. Originally released for the 3DO, the games later appeared on PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC.
“While a recent firmware update fixed most Switch 1 titles on Switch 2, Gex Trilogy remains incompatible,” Limited Run Games stated. “We submitted our own patch solution last week, but approval was delayed due to the Juneteenth holiday. We anticipate releasing the patch early next week.”
As a precautionary measure, the game has been temporarily removed from sale on the Switch 2 eShop while Limited Run Games works with Nintendo to finalize approval.
The publisher has also provided a list of verified titles currently functioning correctly on Switch 2:
- 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
With over 3.5 million units sold since the Switch 2’s launch, the console has seen strong hardware adoption. However, third-party game performance remains mixed, according to recent market analysis.
Limited Run Games thanked fans for their patience, emphasizing that the temporary delisting is intended to ensure a seamless and stable experience for players.
“We’re committed to delivering the best possible experience. This pause ensures we don’t release a product that doesn’t work as intended.”
Players are encouraged to check back early next week for the patch release and the expected reavailability of Gex Trilogy on the Switch 2 eShop.
Stay tuned for official updates from Limited Run Games and Nintendo regarding the patch rollout.
