GEX Trilogy Classic Edition (Switch, PS5, Xbox, PC)

It's tail time. Again. The GEX Trilogy Classic Edition for Nintendo Switch collects all three of gaming's most reference-heavy platformers into a single physical package with a retro box, SteelBook, soundtrack selection, and a 12" x 16" double-sided poster.

Gex spent the late '90s cracking wise through television-themed worlds, and his trilogy occupies a very specific corner of platformer history, right between the mascot boom and the genre's temporary decline. The SteelBook gives this collection the premium case treatment, while the retro box wraps the whole package in nostalgia-era presentation that fits right alongside your N64 and PlayStation collections. That double-sided poster offers two display options, and the soundtrack selection preserves the music that accompanied Gex's channel-surfing adventures.

For collectors who lived through the era when every publisher needed a mascot with attitude, Gex was always the self-aware one. He knew he was in a game. He knew the references were ridiculous.

And somehow that made him endearing. This Classic Edition is a time capsule from the period when 3D platformers were evolving in real time and every studio was throwing their hat in the ring. Whether you're filling a gap in your platformer collection or revisiting a trilogy that defined a very specific flavor of '90s humor, the GEX Trilogy Classic Edition packages it all with the shelf presence these games never had in their original retail runs.
