Prior to the announcement and launch of Retro Roundup and the Toy Story 3 remaster, standalone digital versions of Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toy Story Mania, and Toy Story 3 were delisted across digital storefronts, including Steam and the PlayStation Store, consolidating future access into the new collections.
Are PC CD-ROM or Nintendo 64 versions included in this Switch release?
