Joe & Mac Retro Collection launches on Thursday, October 29, 2026, bringing together three Super Nintendo classics in a single package: Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja, Congo's Caper and Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics. Developed and published by Red Art Games, the collection is available digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam.
The three titles were originally developed by Data East and released for Super Nintendo between 1991 and 1995. The collection preserves the 16-bit platforming and action gameplay, with the two cavemen facing dinosaurs, traps and bosses across settings ranging from jungles to snowy peaks.
Modern features include rewind, save states, a CRT filter, custom frames and Boss Rush mode, which lines up the bosses from all three games in sequence. Local two-player co-op on a shared screen is also included, keeping the arcade spirit of the originals.
On Xbox, the collection is listed at $17.99 on sale, down from $19.99. On Metacritic, it holds a score of 71, rated mixed or average, based on the first reviews recorded. Physical editions for PS5 and Switch have also been announced.
