2 articles · Updated · Nintendo Everything · Jun 18

Summary

  • QUByte said Glover and Street Racer Collection on Nintendo Switch will get free updates in 2027 that add their PlayStation 1 versions.
  • Glover’s PS1 edition arrived after the N64 original and changed substantially for weaker hardware, with downgraded graphics, pre-rendered cutscenes and different physics.
  • Street Racer’s PS1 release also diverged from its earlier form, shifting from the SNES original to fully polygonal 3D tracks, vehicles and altered layouts.
  • The announcement extends QUByte’s Switch retro push, which also includes newly announced Gaelco Sports Collection, Thunder Hoop Collection and PS1 titles such as Motor Mash and Tigershark.
