Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Is Coming to Nintendo 64 in Official Physical Cartridge Release

Argonaut Games and ModRetro announce an official Nintendo 64 physical cartridge edition of 1997 mascot platformer Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for 2027.

One of the original PlayStation's most recognisable platforming mascots is finally preparing to visit the console he missed during the 1990s. Argonaut Games and ModRetro have announced an official Nintendo 64-compatible version of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, targeting a physical cartridge release in 2027. The project is particularly interesting because Croc originally appeared in 1997 during the early period of three-dimensional console gaming. Its colourful environments, platforming challenges and friendly crocodile protagonist helped establish Argonaut's reputation beyond the technical work the studio had previously contributed to Nintendo-related projects. Despite appearing on several platforms, Croc never received an official Nintendo 64 release. The forthcoming version is being developed for ModRetro's M64 hardware while also supporting Nintendo's original console. Promotional footage demonstrates a small amount of gameplay and shows packaging concepts resembling the company's planned physical cartridge releases. However, the announcement does not yet establish final pricing, technical specifications or the extent to which content from recent remastered editions will be included. The intended launch year is 2027, and prospective buyers should wait for further official details before assuming that preorders are available. The announcement follows renewed interest in Croc through modern digital and physical editions, including Collector's Edition packages that recently began shipping after extensive delays. This new project represents a separate development rather than another update to those existing purchases. Bringing a historically PlayStation-associated platformer to genuine Nintendo 64 hardware is an appealing piece of gaming revisionism. Croc spent much of the 1990s looking for lost Gobbos. Nearly thirty years later, he has apparently discovered a missing console.
