The collection itself will feature five games, many in their NES, SNES, and even Game Boy permutations.
The lineup is as follows:

As you’d expect from a modern retro game compilation, each title will feature modern quality-of-life improvements, like rewind and quick save. There’ll also be a music player so you can enjoy each outing’s soundtrack, as well as an art gallery.
It’s a shame Genesis game Stimpy’s Invention is not included here, as that’s personally our favourite entry in the series, but licensing issues may be getting in the way as it was originally published by SEGA.
