In addition to this news, a commemorative Sega Genesis case is available exclusively for those attending PAX West. Each contains an 18 x 24-inch poster and a high gloss trading card set. Only 500 of these cases exist and 400 can be purchased at Limited Run Games’ booth. The remaining inventory is to be placed on the company’s website at a later date.
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is the fourth installment in the hit platforming series. Originally debuting in 1991 on the Sega Genesis, the dynamic duo quickly became associated with the Sega brand. The first entry sold over 350,000 copies which was a big accomplishment for a new IP on the new Genesis console.
This upcoming entry will be developed by HumaNature Studios, founded by series creator Greg Johnson. It was first revealed as a crowd-funded campaign on Kickstarter and has raised over $500,000 across 8,000+ backers. The game will be published by Adult Swim Games and is launching for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
