Description

Gex Trilogy Set for Remastered Release on Nintendo Switch in Summer 2025 Gex, the iconic wisecracking gecko who once captivated platformer fans in the late ’90s, is making a triumphant return.

In an era where anthropomorphic mascots dominated classic gaming libraries, the Gex trilogy stood out with its unique blend of humor, pop culture references, and platforming action.

Now, Limited Run Games is reviving this beloved series, bringing all three core Gex titles to modern systems, including the Nintendo Switch.

Announced via a new official trailer, the Gex Trilogy is slated for release in Summer 2025.

The collection is powered by Limited Run’s state-of-the-art Carbon Engine, which specializes in breathing new life into retro games for contemporary hardware.

Fans will be able to access the trilogy through various channels, including the Nintendo eShop, making it easier than ever to revisit—or experience for the first time—the adventures of gaming’s favorite tail-whipping, TV-obsessed gecko. The Gex Trilogy includes: - GEX (1995): The original 2D platformer that introduced players to Gex’s channel-surfing antics. - GEX: Enter the Gecko (1998): The first 3D installment, notable for its vibrant worlds and expanded moveset. - GEX 3: Deep Cover Gecko (1999): The trilogy’s final chapter, further pushing Gex’s humor, lively animations, and level variety. Limited Run Games has confirmed the collection will feature several quality-of-life improvements.

Most notably, players will have the ability to rewind gameplay and save progress at any point, ensuring a smooth and accessible experience for both new players and returning fans.

Additionally, the package offers native widescreen support, updating the trilogy’s visuals for modern displays without compromising its original style. A spokesperson for Limited Run Games stated the collection brings together "all of Gex’s best-selling adventures in one definitive edition, boasting enhancements designed to meet the expectations of today’s gamers." Fans can look forward to bonus features and extras, though specific details beyond the core trilogy and announced improvements remain under wraps at this time. The Gex Trilogy marks the latest in a series of classic game revivals for the Nintendo Switch, further expanding the eShop’s robust library of remastered titles.

Since its original debuts between 1995 and 1999, the Gex series has maintained a dedicated following, thanks to its quirky protagonist and characteristic platforming gameplay. Set your calendars for Summer 2025, as Gex returns to reclaim the spotlight on Nintendo Switch and other modern systems.

For long-time fans and curious newcomers alike, this remastered collection is poised to deliver fresh nostalgia and improved playability for the next generation of gamers.
