Digital Eclipse and Atari released Toy Story: Retro Roundup for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 15, 2026.
The compilation gathers multiple licensed platformers and spin-offs from the Toy Story era across vintage consoles and presents them with modern quality-of-life improvements, a dedicated museum mode, and numerous presentation options aimed at preservation and accessibility.
What’s included
The collection assembles eleven builds of six classic titles: Toy Story (Genesis, SNES, Game Boy), Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue (PS1), Toy Story 2 (Game Boy Color), Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (PS1, Game Boy Color), Toy Story Racer (PS1, Game Boy Color) and A Bug’s Life (PS1, Game Boy Color).
These ports reflect a range of licensed platformers and licensed racing and action games from the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Modern upgrades and accessibility
Digital Eclipse has added a suite of modern features to make the older games more playable on current hardware.
A dedicated in-game menu, opened by pressing the right stick, provides save/load/reset/resume options, customizable controls, instruction manuals, display choices (widescreen, fullscreen), background borders, filter presets and three save files per game.
A rewind function is available via L2+R2, and a practice mode lets players watch a CPU-controlled Rex perform sections and take over at any time.
Rex can also hand out cheat codes such as unlimited lives, invincibility and level skips where supported.
Presentation and museum
The collection includes a Music Player and a detailed Toy History museum.
The museum contains galleries of development artwork, 3D box-art viewers, magazine clippings and video featurettes documenting the transition of Toy Story from film to games.
These featurettes include an interview that credits Jim Hanks as the series voice actor who stepped in for Tom Hanks in video game roles, and a new interview with original developers Traveller's Tales.
Digital Eclipse demonstrated a 'CRT Curved' filter meant to recreate the look of playing on a retro television, and the team highlighted the amount of effort invested to capture that era-authentic feel.
Performance and verdict
On Nintendo Switch 2 the collection runs smoothly in handheld and docked modes; reviewers encountered no frame drops, input lag or technical instability in standard play.
While some original camera issues remain inherent to the source builds and a few notable ports (for example, certain Dreamcast and N64 variants) are absent from the package, the collection's emulation, UI, and archival extras make Toy Story: Retro Roundup a robust preservation release.
The compilation is also available in a bundle with Toy Story 3: Complete Edition according to publisher materials.
