Today, Limited Run Games pulled back on its latest project Rugrats: Retro Rewind, which is in the works for Nintendo Switch. A digital release is set for May 15, 2026 with physical versions to follow.

The package includes six classic Rugrats titles featuring the iconic babies from the ’90s. There’ll also be various quality-of-life features, including screen filters, save states, rewind, and a music player.

Here’s some additional information:

When Rugrats: Search for Reptar first launched on the original PlayStation console in 1998, it marked the beginning of an exciting journey for Tommy Pickles and his pint-sized gang of friends and foes. Spanning six fun and memorable titles, the series took the team banding together to seek out lost jigsaw pieces, embarking upon an exciting mission to rescue Dil, Tommy’s cheeky sibling, and adventures through exciting historical locations, plus hijinks at a movie studio and fun capers through an exhilarating theme park in Paris.

Rugrats: Retro Rewind features SIX classic Rugrats titles:

• Rugrats: Search for Reptar – Originally launched in 1998 for the PlayStation console, this is the Rugrats’ first adventure, taking them through a jigsaw puzzle mystery.
• The Rugrats Movie – Based on the movie of the same name, this catalog of capers was originally available on Game Boy and Game Boy Color and finds the Rugrats on a mission to seek out the missing Dil Pickles.
• Rugrats: Time Travelers – A punchy platformer launched in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, where adventures begin in a toy store with a mysterious yet irresistible time machine.
• Rugrats: Studio Tour – A 1990 action-adventure title that initially landed on PlayStation and saw the crew exploring a variety of film sets in a movie studio packed with danger and intrigue.
• Rugrats in Paris: The Movie – This title, another fun movie spin-off, was first available on the Game Boy Color, PlayStation, and N64, and brings the team to an exciting theme park in Paris where adventures beckon.
• Rugrats: Castle Capers – Released only for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, the Rugrats have to retrieve their stolen toys from Angelica, who is holding them hostage in a fortress-like playground set.

Each of these classic titles features brand-new, quality-of-life updates designed to elevate the experience for retro fans. Players can relive the nostalgia with customizable screen filters to recapture that warm, retro CRT TV feel, a ‘save anywhere’ feature to ensure progress is never lost, a rewind feature to offer players a second chance at those especially tricky moments, and an included music player to let fans enjoy the zappy soundtrack even when you’re not playing. This compendium of fun-packed retro gems is not only available digitally, but there are two gorgeous physical editions to delight the hearts of 90s retro fans!

Rugrats: Retro Rewind will have a standard physical release and a deluxe edition. The standard version includes the game and a printed booklet. The deluxe edition adds a PS1-inspired game case, soundtrack, Reptar puzzle piece keychain, and stickers. Pre-orders open here starting on May 1, 2026.
