Konami announced the release of 2 collections of titles from yesteryear, made possible through collaboration with Limited Run Games. The first is a bundle that includes the 2 titles of The Felix the Cat that debuted on Game Boy in 1992 and on NES in 1993, considered among the best of the time for their level design and gameplay proposal.

Additionally, the Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked collection will be released, including the action and platform game Rocket Knight Adventures, released on SEGA Genesis in 1993; Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2, a sequel that debuted on SEGA Genesis in 1994, and Sparkster, another sequel with different design and proposals that premiered on SNES in 1994.
