Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return Receives Special Physical Editions for Nintendo Switch via Limited Run Games

Limited Run Games has officially unveiled its plans to bring Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return to Nintendo Switch in a comprehensive physical release, catering to platformer enthusiasts and collectors alike.

As one of the PlayStation era's most beloved but often underappreciated sequels, Tomba 2 is being revived with a wealth of special content and collector's items, marking an exciting milestone for the franchise. Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return, developed by Whoopee Camp and originally published in 1999, continues the adventures of the pink-haired hero Tomba as he confronts the nefarious Evil Pigs who have invaded a neighboring land.

When Tomba's friend Tabby mysteriously disappears, players must guide Tomba through vibrant environments and challenging platforming stages to save her and restore peace. Limited Run Games will offer the physical Nintendo Switch release in three distinct versions: Standard, Classic Edition, and Whoopee Edition.

The Classic Edition comes packed with exclusive items, including a retro-inspired box, a steelbook case, an official soundtrack CD, and a double-sided poster.

For dedicated fans and collectors, the Whoopee Edition expands on these goodies, bundling a deluxe hardcover art book and strategy guide, figures of Charles and Tomba with his flying squirrel suit, as well as high-quality art prints. In a statement summarizing the new release, Limited Run Games highlighted their dedication to honoring classic titles through high-quality reissues: The Special Edition of Tomba 2 is described as a celebration of a cherished but often overlooked sequel, offering both longtime fans and newcomers a chance to experience its whimsical adventure on modern hardware. The Nintendo Switch edition of Tomba 2 also introduces several modern gameplay enhancements, such as the ability to save progress at any point—removing the reliance on traditional save points—and a rewind function that lets players quickly fix missed jumps or avoid damage.

Further commemorating the legacy of the game, an in-game museum presents a trove of original packaging, advertisements, seldom-seen design documents, and richly detailed artwork, providing historical insight into the game's development and cultural impact. Pre-orders for all editions of Tomba 2: The Evil Swine Return on Nintendo Switch begin October 2, 2025, exclusively through Limited Run Games.

This release follows Limited Run Games' ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating classic gaming IPs for new generations of players, and Tomba 2 stands as a prime example of their dedication to quality and nostalgia-driven projects.
