The Ren & Stimpy Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy Collection is officially heading to modern platforms, bringing a slice of 1990s cartoon chaos to today’s consoles and PC. Publisher Limited Run Games confirmed that the collection will launch digitally on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on February 20.
This marks the first time these classic Ren & Stimpy games are playable on modern hardware without tracking down old cartridges or emulators. The release continues the growing trend of retro-focused digital drops on current-generation systems.
What Games Are Included in the Collection?
The bundle packs together several Ren & Stimpy titles originally released across NES, SNES, and Game Boy. Each game reflects the exaggerated humor and offbeat design the cartoon series became known for.
Included titles:
- The Ren & Stimpy Show: Space Cadet Adventures (Game Boy)
- The Ren & Stimpy Show: Veediots! (SNES, Game Boy)
- The Ren & Stimpy Show: Buckeroo$! (NES, SNES)
- The Ren & Stimpy Show: Time Warp (SNES)
- The Ren & Stimpy Show: Fire Dogs (SNES)
Rather than simple ROM dumps, these versions come enhanced for modern play.
Modern Features Added for Today’s Players
To make these older games more accessible, the collection includes several quality-of-life improvements. Players can use save states to pause progress at any moment and rewind features to quickly recover from missed jumps or unfair hits. These additions reduce the frustration often associated with retro difficulty while keeping the original gameplay intact.
PS5 Continues to Strengthen Its Retro Lineup
The digital release arrives at a time when the PlayStation 5 is steadily expanding its retro catalog. Recent additions such as classic arcade ports and anniversary collections have made the platform increasingly attractive for players who enjoy revisiting older games alongside modern releases.
With more publishers embracing digital preservation, legacy titles like Ren & Stimpy are finding new life on current systems instead of fading into obscurity.
