New Collection Brings 6 Classic Game Boy & PS1 Games to Nintendo Switch & PS5

For many gamers of a certain age, many of our nostalgic favorites have been lost to time. Unless you have kept hold of older consoles and physical copies of your favorite games, revisiting them can be next to impossible. Or, at the very least, pretty expensive. Thankfully, many of the most beloved retro titles are getting new life as classic collections arrive on modern consoles. And if you have fond memories of playing any of the Rugrats games growing up, a newly announced retro collection definitely needs to be on your radar.

Limited Run Games recently announced its latest retro gaming collection, which will release digitally and physically for Nintendo Switch and PS5.

And with some of those games coming out with multiple versions, the full collection actually features a total of 8 games. It releases digitally for Switch and PS5 on May 15th, with physical edition preorders going live on May 1st.
