Vintage game compilations remain highly sought-after these days, with legendary characters like Bubsy and Gex making comebacks. Now, prehistoric duo Joe and Mac join the trend.
Titled Joe & Mac Retro Collection, this upcoming bundle differs by launching via crowdfunding. The campaign begins on June 10th with plans for digital releases across consoles including Switch later in 2024.
“Play as three cavemen fighting dinosaurs in this retro collection of three SNES/Super Famicom titles, coming to Steam/PS5/Xbox/Switch!”
Three 16-bit Data East classics will be included:
- Joe & Mac
- Congo’s Caper
- Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics
The package combines Western-localized 90s releases with uncut Japanese editions. Enhanced features reportedly include gameplay rewinding, save states, display scaling, and exclusive visual upgrades alongside physical collectibles tied to the campaign.
Developed through collaboration between G-Mode, Red Art Games, and their studio division, this revival follows current trends of classic rereleases. Alternative methods exist for Switch owners to experience retro gaming through Nintendo’s legacy catalog services.
