A new collection based on Toaplan's Snow Bros. games appears to be in development at Limited Run Games, according to a new online listing from the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board).
Snow Bros. Classic Collection is described as a collection of "action platformers" for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 that sees "players traverse 2D pixelated levels" to "rescue princesses and end an evil curse". It appeared on the ESRB website late last month and was quickly spotted by the video game publication Gematsu who noted on social media that no game going by that description seems to have been announced as of yet.
Putting two and two together, it, therefore, seems like the ESRB may have been guilty of jumping the gun a little bit, with our best guess being that the game will soon be revealed properly as part of the upcoming Summer Games Fest.
As the game has not been officially announced, it is not clear exactly what specific titles will be included as part of the upcoming collection (or whether this will have any crossover with the recent remakes of Snow Bros. and Snow Bros. 2: With New Elves from CRT Games). But, interestingly, in the description the ESRB provided it makes a reference to it containing four games in total.
If we had to speculate, we'd anticipate this including the two arcade originals, alongside two additional versions for home consoles. However, only time will tell whether we're right in our predictions.
We'll be sure to update this post once an official announcement is made, and more information is available.

Please have the Genesis expanded port of Snow Bros from the original devs!
Also please come to pc!
After years of wanting to have them legally on modern systems we now have, as far as I know:
-Snow Bros. Special (the remake with additional levels)
-Snow Bros. 2 Special (the same, but now with the original sequel included as a bonus)
-Snow Bros. arcade original on Evercade
-Snow Bros. 2 arcade original on Evercade
-Snow Bros (NES) unlockable on Evercade with Toaplan 3 and 4 cartridges
-Snow Bros Mega Drive on the Japanese Mega Drive Mini
So a collection of the classics including console versions (we shouldn't forget the Game Boy one) would be awesome for those who want them on the same system or don't own any of the Evercade models that have 2 cartridge slots, or couldn't get their hands -or just didn't want to- on a Japanese Mega Drive Mini.
