Three beloved games from the original Nintendo Game Boy are getting re-released! While we don’t know exactly when, they’ll be available on Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 5. Although the games will work on the next-generation Nintendo console through backward compatibility, there’s been no specific announcement for it. They also won’t be coming to Xbox.
Following news of a Game Boy Advance game making a comeback, developer Headless Chicken and publisher Limited Run Games have announced the Snow Bros Collection for modern platforms. This collection features three versions of the classic Snow Bros game: the original, an expanded version called Snow Bros.: Nick & Tom, and a special version created for the Game Boy, Snow Bros. Jr. While it’s technically three games, it’s essentially one game with different variations. The sequel, Snow Bros. 2: With New Elves, isn’t included, but it was never released outside of arcades, so its omission isn’t unexpected.
A 1990 Classic
Originally released in 1990, Snow Bros. is a platformer game created by Japanese developer Toaplan. It first appeared in arcades, and then was brought to the Nintendo Game Boy in 1991, followed by the NES later that same year. The Sega Mega Drive received the game in 1993, and more recently, it became available on mobile devices in 2012. While not a massive hit, Snow Bros. was popular when it first came out, and is fondly remembered, which explains its re-release after 35 years. This isn’t just a digital re-release either; a limited number of physical copies are also being made available. Many players associate the game with the Game Boy, as it was the first console to receive it after the arcade version.

So, this new collection seems to be just the old games re-released. I haven’t seen anything about any improvements or updates, honestly. It feels like it’s made for people like me, who played these back in the early 90s, and not really trying to bring in new players.
We’d love to hear your thoughts! Please leave a comment below, or join the discussion on the ComicBook Forum. Are you planning to get this collection when it comes out?
