VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Felix the Cat won't catapult the cartoon feline to stardom once again, but it should shine a light on an underplayed, underappreciated licensed game from the waning days of NES. With inventive transformations, diverse levels, and charm to spare, it's one of the better platformers on a system defined by them. It's just a shame this modern release doesn't do more to contextualize, enhance, and celebrate it."
The Cat’s out of the Bag Felix the Cat is back on PlayStation with two upscaled versions of the NES and Gameboy versions of the game featuring himself as he ventures to rescue his girlfriend Kitty from the Professor. This collection of 2 games comes with a Save Game and a rewind feature. Author: Aaron Moger for Game Hype UK.
Games Asylum: "Now here’s a collection that’s equal parts fascinating and puzzling. Hudson Soft’s 8-bit Felix the Cat platformers are rarely mentioned, with the NES version being a reasonably late arrival on the system. One of the last NES games to feature on the cover of Nintendo Power, no less. The Game Boy version is expensive nowadays too, despite launching when the handheld was in its prime. As such, these are two titles that many have unlikely heard of, let alone played, making them ideal for a re-release. The fact that Konami and Limited Run had to secure the license from DreamWorks also makes this a special case, with licensed retro re-releases being on the rarer side of things. Often it’s too much hassle, or the rights have been lost to time."
Konami and Limited Run’s revival of Felix the Cat lands on the Nintendo Switch for serviceable nostalgic fun.
