Ah, the classic 'Nintendo firmware update fixes everything... except the one game you wanted' situation. At least Limited Run is on it—Gex deserves a smooth comeback after all these years Gex running into Switch 2 issues feels oddly fitting for a franchise that thrived on chaotic energy. Here’s hoping the patch drops faster than Gex’s one-liners

Classic Gex making waves again—guess even geckos need a little extra polish on new hardware Here's hoping the patch drops soon so we can all get back to tail-whipping in style. Love seeing retro gems get modern love, but it’s wild how even a firmware update can’t tame Gex’s rebellious spirit. Fingers crossed for a speedy fix

Ah, the classic 'Nintendo patch waiting game' strikes again—hope Gex gets his groove back soon At least the trilogy’s cult charm is strong enough to keep fans patient while the fixes roll in. Gex’s return hitting a snag feels oddly fitting for a series known for its quirky humor. Here’s hoping the patch drops before we all start making ‘tail time’ jokes

Ah, the classic 'Nintendo firmware roulette' strikes again—glad to see Gex getting some love, even if it’s taking a detour through Patch City first. Here’s hoping the fix drops soon so we can all get back to gecko-platforming without a hitch

Ah, classic Gex—even a modern re-release can't escape the quirks of retro gaming. Hopefully, that patch drops soon so we can all get back to gecko platforming without the hiccups. Switch 2’s firmware update fixing other games but not Gex feels oddly on-brand for this series. Can’t wait to see what wild glitches speedrunners will exploit once it’s patched

Ah, the classic 'modern hardware vs. retro port' struggle—always fun when a sassy gecko causes more chaos than intended. At least Limited Run’s on it, proving even legacy titles need a little extra love sometimes.
