System 3 is working on two Switch 2 releases: James Pond Legacy: The Pond Is Not Enough, set for October 2026, and Putty World 35th Anniversary, shown as an early technical demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 and scheduled for Q2 2027.
System 3's recent announcements are both built around its back catalogue, but they take opposite approaches. James Pond Legacy: The Pond Is Not Enough packages four James Pond games in 12 versions drawn from the Amiga 500, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, SNES, and Commodore 64, adding modern features and a series history hub. It launches for Switch 2 in October 2026, and the production run is limited to 6,000 units.
Putty World 35th Anniversary takes the other route. Rather than porting the 1992 Amiga original, System 3 is rebuilding Putty, Super Putty, and Putty Squad into one title with new content. Tokyo Game Show 2026 hosted an early technical demo on Switch 2. Presentation materials list more than 75 new maps and more than 45 enemy types, with 60fps as a basic goal. The game is scheduled for Q2 2027.
Taken together, the two projects show where System 3 currently stands: one collection shipping soon at a fixed, small production volume, and one anniversary title still early enough to be shown as a technical demo nearly a year from release.
