Limited Run Games Requests Temporary Delisting of Gex Trilogy from Nintendo Switch 2 eShop
Due to unexpected delays in Nintendo’s approval of a backward compatibility patch, Limited Run Games has asked Nintendo to temporarily delist the Gex Trilogy from the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop.
The remastered collection—featuring Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko—was released on June 16 across PC, PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series, and last-gen consoles. While most Switch 1-era titles now work properly on the Switch 2 after a recent firmware update, the Gex Trilogy remains incompatible due to unresolved technical issues.
Limited Run submitted a corrective patch last week, but approval has been delayed by the U.S. Juneteenth holiday. The publisher expects the fix to be cleared early next week.
“In the absence of certainty on when Nintendo’s firmware would resolve the issue, we submitted our patch,” Limited Run said. “We’ve now requested that Nintendo suspend sales temporarily while we finalize the solution. We appreciate players’ patience as we work closely with Nintendo.”
The company also urged players to verify whether previously affected titles now function correctly, including:
- 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 Nintendo Switch 2 launched strong with 3.5 million units sold, but third-party sales have shown mixed results—highlighting ongoing challenges in the console’s early ecosystem.
Players are encouraged to monitor official channels for updates. The Gex Trilogy is expected to return to the eShop once the patch is approved and deployed.
This version keeps the tone professional and informative while emphasizing urgency, transparency, and player guidance.
