No thank *you*! It's great to receive so much positive feedback on what we're working on and to meet many people who loved the Wonder Boy in Monster World series just as much as we do! :)

Thomas Kern, thank you for being a part of the team making it happen, I can't wait for this! Playing Wonder Boy recently gave me an urge for more similar old school goodness and this fits the bills pretty much perfectly. :D

I remember you guys teasing a Switch retail release on Twitter at some point last year, Is there any progress about this?

Edit: Sounds like Mega Man Zero remembered that before me!

No physical PS4 version? :(

EDIT:

Still hoping for a physical European release later down the road, but good to know there's an option to import if noting else. That being said, how does a game developed in Europe, based on a Japanese IP get a physical release only in North America?

Yes, can't wait for this summer and stream this. Will have to get my mom to watch. She was into the original Wonderboy.

Day and date with the digital release? Oh happy days! Now I don't have to decide if I can stand waiting for the physical release to come out! :D

(just have to wait for it to physically get sent to me still though :( lol. )

This is fucking amazing news. This Summer! Thank the stars. Only thing that concerns me is Steam wasn't announced here?

Like, I'd get a console if I have to but I'd love for this to come to Steam around the same time. Will this be like the Wonder Boy III remake and Steam will come later?

It will come to Steam but later, we don't have a release schedule yet. We'll put extra care into the PC Version and add 21:9 support.

I really enjoyed Oceanhorn when I reviewed it and I'm looking forward to Monster Boy too. FDG (and Game Atelier) do some fine work.

Awesome, but I take it those release dates are placeholders? GameStop's listing August 28 which fits as it's the heart of/late Summer - but Amazon's listing September 25 which can't be right as that's the start of Autumn. Guessing the release date hasn't been officially set yet and those dates are obvious placeholders?

Yes the release dates are placeholders for 'Summer'. We'll announce the exact date at a later time.

Ah, thanks Thomas! Looking forward to seeing a firm date! Your game is insta-bought - just a case of potentially getting the console version upon release this Summer, if that's coming sooner, or hold out for the Steam release as my laptop is more than capable. Any word on how long we'll be waiting for the Steam release? Or is that not planned and decided just yet?

Pre-ordered the Switch version on Amazon, but what's the deal with GS also offering up a PS4 SKU? Is that coming to Amazon too?

You're welcome! Thanks a lot for considering to purchase it. We don't have any idea of the Steam release date yet but we'll start to work on it once all console releases are submitted. Console versions release first.

Yeah, I know. I'm the one who posted it. :) This one is closer to wallpaper size.
My apologies. I have the memory of a goldfish.

And yeah that one has a nice ratio/positioning.

Those going physixal. Switch or PS4. I pre ordered a ps4 copy, but I'm tempted with the smaller box on Switch lol. I don't often play on the go, so portability is not a factor.

I've never played any Wonder Boy games, but this looks fantastic. I think I'll finally give the remake a whirl and slap a preorder down for this. The cover art is so colorful and eyecatching. Seems worth going physical for that artwork alone!

Please release in july or early August. (Or earlier)

Late August/early September is getting super crowded.

It's rad to hear this is getting a physical release. I'll most likely go digital like I did with The Dragon's Trap, especially if there's like a $10 difference. I'm not invested in the series in any nostalgic way, I wasn't a Genesis/Megadrive kid.

This showed up today in the mail:

Unfortunately I can't test it for a few days until a Sega System 8 to Jamma converter harness arrives as well.
