Such a light hearted, feel-good premise. Did anyone else get Super Mario Odyssey vibes too?

We need more games like this in these times.

It's called Balan Wonderworld, everyone keeps mixing them up, lol. Looks really colorful.

That looks great. Hopefully I can pick up a cheap One S this holiday season.

Though I feel kinda bad for Yuji Naka. Dude has never been able to escape the shadow of Sonic the Hedgehog despite his multiple attempts to distance himself from it and Sega itself.

More folks should have played Rodea the Sky Soldier.

Really not what I expected from the "action game of action games"

Looks fun though, will keep my eyes on it.

This looks like a long lost PS2 game and I am ABSOLUTELY ABOUT IT

It's like a spiritual successor to NiGHTS in terms of how it looks and the premise of "kids go to this mysterious world when something big happens in their life", but as a Billy Hatcher-esque 3D platformer where you have to use lots of wacky powers to progress... so basically, exactly my type of game.

Also, people are totally going to accidentally call it Balan Wonderland instead of Balan Wonderworld all the time. Geoff already did it once on stream lol.

If this is just Xbox, it really sells me on the direction Microsoft is taking! Reminds me of the early 2000s titles that Sony + Microsoft had to stand out, before exclusives became so homogonized.

Obviously this looks a little rough around the edges, but my point is that if this exists because of MS, I'm on board with their new gen.

Honestly? It reminded me Yooka Laylee and it's not a good thing.
Feelt too slow and open, bit clunky too... and surely I'm not a fan of the style but yeah, let's wait for more footage.

If everyone is calling your game that literally just got announced two seconds ago by an incorrect name, you should probably just change it to that name, right?

I'm cautiously optimistic. Naka hasn't had the best record Post Sega, but this looks more aligned in his classic wheelhouse.

That was really cool. I love the vibes of the game, especially in an especially bleak year like 2020. Feels like NiGHTS and Hat in Time had a creative mish-mash.

It looks good but the human chibi looking characters are pretty meh, the others are great.

Worried me when they mentioned that it was one button combat. Looks lovely and colourful and expensive

101% up my alley. It looks like NiGHTS meets Billy Hatcher (with the dream worlds NiGHTS-esque aesthetic & bosses, the different costumes being the egg powers & stronger platforming focus). I'm actually really excited for this one!
