There is laughter in the land as the North American version of Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return has finally joined the original Tomba! as a downloadable PS one Classic on the PlayStation Network.
Starting November 3, 2015, players who have purchased the Japanese version will be able to download the English version of Tomba! 2 at no charge.
Fans of the series have been clamoring for the English-language Tomba! 2 ever since MonkeyPaw Games published the original Japanese version (known as Tomba! The Wild Adventures) on PSN last year. The North American version had been held back by an emulation issue that did not allow the game to be presented at a level of quality equal to Sony's dedication to excellence.

Between now and Christmas day, North American PSN fans who Retweet the Tomba! 2 announcement from MonkeyPaw Games' Twitter account (@MonkeyPawGames) will be entered into a random drawing to win one of over 100 limited-edition plush Tomba figures, awarded at the rate of two per day. These limited-edition plushies are not sold in stores.
Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return is a cartoony, mission-based action/adventure game from Tokuro Fujiwara, the legendary game creator who produced and/or directed dozens of classic video games like Ghosts 'n Goblins, the original Resident Evil and most of the core Mega Man series. Both Tomba! games have a cult following of fans who fondly recall playing them on the original PlayStation console.
Players who purchased the Japanese version of Tomba! 2 from the PlayStation Network will be able to download the English-language version for free after receiving instruction from Sony.
