It's been released by Play It! who have done some great ports over the years and overall seems solid

First 10 minutes of gameplay:

Lol that's just the PS1 version, that's a joke.

Oh my bad, I saw there were some graphic differences but if they're totally different games then I apologise. Just saw it in Argos haha!

Oh no I just mean Nintendo are a joke because that is the same as the PS version aka dreck :)

If I got this game then is there a leaderboard for me to submit to? I want to get into this series as it’s a bit of a meme and a British developer but I don’t know much about the history but it be nice to get it on my switch rather than emulate SMS 🤷‍♀️ any advice?

Because it's very different it would probably merit its own leaderboard - the SNES version does this. I tweeted this game's mod so he will come and reply at some point to settle. :)

Okay, since the Switch version (£9.99) is a port of PS then I’ll probably get the PS One Classic version from PlayStation store (£3.99) and do runs on my PS3 and then help get the board set up. Since a lot of the games have similar names we’d then have to edit the name’s to “James Pond 2 (SMS)” and “James Pond 2 (PS)” also not to be picky but shouldn’t the full title be on the site so it should say James Pond 2: Codename Robocod?
