Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition Whoopee Edition (Switch, PS5, PC)

The wild-haired, fang-toothed hero of one of PlayStation's most underappreciated franchises is back with everything. The Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition Whoopee Edition for Nintendo Switch is an absolute treasure chest of collector's items, pairing the game with a retro box, SteelBook, soundtrack CD, double-sided poster, a deluxe hardcover art book and strategy guide by Stuart Gipp, Max Burnette, and Jeremy Parish, plus figures of both Charles and Tomba in his Flying Squirrel Suit, along with art prints.

Two figures in one collector's edition is already generous, but the Tomba with Flying Squirrel Suit figure captures one of the sequel's most memorable abilities in sculptural form. Charles stands alongside as a companion piece, giving your display shelf a duo that tells a story. The hardcover art book and strategy guide is a serious production, with Parish's involvement lending credibility to what could easily be the definitive written companion for this game.

The SteelBook and retro box layer premium presentation on top of nostalgic packaging, a combination that works especially well for a franchise rooted in the PS1 era. Tomba! 2 has been one of the most requested re-releases in collector circles for years, and this Whoopee Edition doesn't just answer that call.

It overdelivers. The soundtrack CD, art prints, and poster round out a set that treats this sequel with the reverence typically reserved for marquee franchises. For those of us who've been championing Tomba since the original, this edition feels like vindication on a display shelf.
