If you’ve been thinking about buying Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection on Nintendo Switch, you might want to buy it as soon as possible, as Limited Run Games has confirmed that it will be removed from the eShop before January 1, 2024 (Thank you, Nintendo Everything).
According to Limited Run Games CEO Josh Fairhurst, the company has secured a two-year term Bill & Ted license which, with development time included, means that the game was only available for purchase just over 10 months after its initial release on February 17, 2023
Now, the good news (look, we’re looking for some kind of silver lining here) is that if you already own Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection, then you can keep downloading it and playing it for as long as you like. It also won’t completely break the bank if you decide to buy one; you look $12.69 in the USA and £8.69 in the United Kingdom.
The collection itself comes bundled with two Bill & Ted games: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure on NES and Bill and Ted’s excellent portable adventure on Game Boy. Physical copies of the collection on Switch can still be purchased via Limited games
