People of a certain age may recall the excellent demo that came out in 1999 for this game. I never got the full game at the time but now that I'm older with disposable income, I think I will finally give this a go. I've got some Pigs to mount!!

Tomba! is a beloved classic side-scrolling platformer developed by Whoopee Camp. Tomba! is coming to modern consoles once again thanks to the Carbon Engine enabling classic games to be easily ported to modern hardware while retaining the original version of the game. Tomba! is launching on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC at a later date.

I fucking loved playing that PlayStation demo over and over again as a kid. Also never played the full games, but now I feel a calling

If someone asked me what games I thought would get remastered next I never would've guessed Tomba.

I played on PS and I don't think I've seen anyone really mention it since then.

Always good to see more classic games become widely playable. Hopefully, it does well enough for them to consider a Tomba 2 rerelease.
