Man, this game looks so great. The visuals are perfect, the game nails the classic arcade look but in high res. Fantastic. The gameplay also looks spot on. Can't wait... a shame there will not be a physical release in Europe :(

This and Octopath Traveler are easily my two most anticipated games this year.
It looks amazing.

Please hurry up and release......

Having the historical context for this game from playing the Dragon's Trap remake has drastically increased my hype for it.

Thomas Kern any hints at when we'll get release date news? Summer is starting soon and we're all excited about it here. :)

Still a lot of work to do: Finishing the game is just one part, now we're working on the different SKU's + Lot check for all consoles + physical goods production and approvals. We'll be able to announce an exact release date when the game is gold (all approved). Please stay tuned!

Wow, game looks slick as hell. Fully on-board after checking that trailer, do we already have a release date?

Thank you so much! Also to everyone else, very happy to read many positive reactions on the trailer and gameplay clips. Love y'all!

For anyone looking for something to tie them over until Monster Boy comes out, Aggelos is a very nice throwback Wonder Boy homage with great chiptunes music that feels right out of the series.

It's out on steam only for now.

So I can finally say I will be playing this game in the next couple months or so :)
I have followed this game development on and off since it was Flying Hamster.

I stopped checking any updates when I saw it would take a lot of time before coming out, man the game changed so much and look even better now, that's crazy.

The fact that the game comes with a manual is awesome it will be like getting a new game back in the day.

We haven't heard from you in a while. Hope everything is going well and any hiccups happening are not too much of a pain in the bum. :)

Hopefully you guys can grab a good date. I want it to succeed. August 28 to mid-september is so crowded. (and then again in early october)

I'll be grabbing my switch copy day one though and will most likely put aside anything else for it.

Hype check! 1 month and a few days away from release.

This is pretty much the only retail game I'm getting until end of January.

Thomas Kern , how is the team doing? Hope crunch time isn't too hard on you guys.

Wrote a very kind and supportive message on the development blog:

Ghost_Messiah on Wednesday, November 21. 2018:
As an ardent fan of this game that has followed this for 4 years now I'm beyond excited we're rapidly approaching release! I honestly hope this sells millions and we get a Monster Boy series. So much love poured in to this especially the beautiful art that it's bound to be a well-reviewed and amazing gem of a game and a love letter to childhood fans of Wonder Boy. Kudos to the team and I hope the game is a super success!

Any word on the Steam release? It's listed as Q1 2019 on Steam so are we looking at a short timeframe between consoles and Steam or a few months here?

Wondering because I'm very tempted to get a console for this. I'm looking forward to the game that much.

And specifically asked about the Steam release. It's listed on Steam as Q1 2019 at the moment, so early 2019 I would have thought.

I'll update everyone here if Thomas gets back to me with any additional info.

Anyone else find it funny that there is a Monica and Friends game coming out on Switch the exact same day as Monster Boy? Considering the 'connection' to Wonder Boy.

I almost expected it to be a re-skinned Monster Boy. :P

I've been playing for a couple hours and this game is legit!

Now this has me hyped! So want this game to review well and succeed, and this is a positive indication that it will.

In other news, Thomas responded to me on the development blog regarding the Steam release:

FDG, Thomas on Tuesday, November 27. 2018:
Thanks a lot for your support and for staying around all the time while we delayed and delayed the game release

There's no solid release date for PC yet, only a vague Q1/19 and I don't have more information than that atm. Please stay tuned for more information on the PC release in the future.

Guessing early next year. They're probably busy as hell trying to finalise the console release, all things considered.

My most wanted game this year, for sure. I'm following since the cancelled Flying Hamster 2 kickstarter (was a backer before they cancelled). Have it preloaded for Switch, can't wait!
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the days spent playing Turma da Mônica na Terra dos Monstros (later i've replayed it as WonderBoy in Monster World, along with all the other games in the series).

Is this a remake or an actual new game? I plan to buy regardless but I can't help but feel I'm mixing it up with something else.

The lack of physical in Europe is bumming me out. 40€ digital only seems too much...
