Switch 2 Gets Exclusive James Pond Retro Collection

System 3 announces The James Pond Legacy, an exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 collection releasing in October with four games (James Pond: Underwater Agent; James Pond 2: RoboCod; James Pond 3: Operation Starfish; The Aquatic Games) and 12 retro versions across SNES/Genesis plus Commodore 64 and Amiga 500; digital and physical editions are planned, with a PS5 port reportedly in the works. The trailer sparked online backlash over AI usage, which System 3 denies, saying the new visuals were hand-drawn from pixel art and do not replace the original in-game graphics.
