Developer here,

Frustrated Switch owner here,

why is the Switch version more expensive than the others?

 

[Ashtar]

I went to preorder and I can't find it on the psn store on ps4, go to the web store can't find it their either so I google search it and I find a link to the PlayStation India store but not us? Wtf Sony get on your stuff

 

[JPS Kai]

Which begs the question if they left the password that gives you everything and starts you as a Hu-man in the village.

I'm not posting the code but I'm pretty sure 90% of people who know the title will know what I'm talking about

If I was them I would have left it in but with some conditions - maybe a 'doesnt work unless you complete the game once' deal. Curious

Does the sun set in the we5t?

Switch version is cheaper here in Australia. PSN is $30 while Switch version is $26.

It's only more expensive in UK. Might have something to do with Brexit.

 

[xmajinjoshx]

Woah! How did I miss this up until now!? Totally buying for the Switch.

SMH this country is so tragic right now.

Okay never mind, sorry for the (somewhat) false accusation.

 

[xmajinjoshx]

The OT should totally have a Tenacious D reference by the way.

"Wonder Boy [OT] What is the Secret to your Power?"

 

[e_i]

It's up on the Switch US eshop store. Can't preorder it yet, but it's there.

 

[Skeletos311]

 

[v0rtikal]

will purchase on Steam when available for sure.

This is indeed the frontrunner in mind

Also

"WonderBoy: The Dragons Trap [OT] Before You is the Monster World

And

"WonderBoy: The Dragons Trap [OT] Party like it's 1989

Were also kicking around. I'm open to ideas though but currently Tenacious D is edging it.

I mean come on. Crank this up high this morning and it feels a good fit

WonderBoy: The Dragons Trap [OT] How about the power of flight? DOES THAT DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!

Also. Here is a test to see whether you are hyped enough for this game.

Crank that up high equally and FEEL THE GODDAMN POWER OF THE DRAGONS TRAP

Glad to see great minds thinking alike. The song is an amazing fit for the OT title. Really digging the other ones you threw out there as well. This game is going to be a blast to play on the Switch. Really looking forward to it!

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap |OT| Not Monster Boy

 

[xmajinjoshx]

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap |OT| Not Monster Boy

Is there really that much confusion between the two?

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

WonderBoy: The Dragons Trap [OT] Before You is the Monster World


ill be disappointed if this isnt the OT

 

[Skeletos311]

Is there really that much confusion between the two?

It seems like there's someone who thinks one game is the other in every thread about both games.

 

[xmajinjoshx]

It seems like there's someone who thinks one game is the other in every thread about both games.

Huh... Interesting. Guess I haven't noticed lol!

 

[LordKano]

I'm working on the OT by the way ! So I need your suggestions for the title.

 

[jonno394]

Just because of all the confusion relating to the two games:

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap |OT| You're a Monster, Boy

 

[Kouichi]

This will be my second Switch game. I never played any of the Wonder Boy games, so I'm excited!

I'm also going to start playing Specter Knight soon and Yooka Laylee comes out in two days, so I'm just drowning myself in retro goodness.

 

[liquidtmd]

I requested this March 31st back in the volunteer request thread and have an outline, Id really like it. PM if any probs

Ah crap, didn't saw it, even with searching "Wonder Boy" in the thread. Would have liked to see that before making gifs and stuff but fine.

 

[hydruxo]

Whoa this looks really cool. That artstyle is incredible. I've actually never even heard of the original game before I don't think.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Makes me smile to see the page for this in the Coming Soon section on the EShop. Day 1...so much day 1.

 

[JetSetRadio]

When can we expect reviews? 16 euro on PSN untill release is a great price but just in case.

 

[nopenopenope]

.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Tightness of the controls, performance indeed, new artstyle didn't convince me but as usual I try not to watch more than a couple seconds of footage pre launch.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

When can we expect reviews? 16 euro on PSN untill release is a great price but just in case.

The embargo is up until the 18th.

 

[NateDrake]

Everything is under embargo until the 18th. That includes footage and reviews.

 

[ggx2ac]

It's going to be interesting hearing reviews of an almost 30 year old game remake that had a cult status outside Japan.

There's no reason you can't collaborate. The OT OT even encourages you to do so.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I'm in for a physical release on Switch or PS4 if that happens.

 

[IrishNinja]

I'm in for a physical release on Switch or PS4 if that happens.

same, but as a classic sega fan - i need this to sell & show viability of such high quality looking efforts! going day 1, prolly switch - will absolutely double-dip if it gets a physical release later.

 

[soxinthebox]

Super keen (Xbox)! Everything about this looks awesome.

 

[ggx2ac]

I'm in for a physical release on Switch or PS4 if that happens.

.

The game is a digital download only. We have no immediate plan for a physical release. We are investigating the possibility but if it ever happens it would be later and in limited quantity. Please bear we us that physical goods may not be at our reach and few studios at this point know how to manufacture Switch games.

Wonder Boy [OT] Half-Human Hero

 

[Rhaknar]

never heard of this, looks great, and now to get flamed on...

...but why the fuck would you ever switch to that 8bit mode? The HD art and animation are absolutely fantastic.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

Imagine a world where you have played the original game and enjoy its original visual style.

Nostalgia

We're already on it

An appreciation of the original's visuals and audio? (They included the original sounds and music in the retro mode.)

I mean, I enjoy playing the original NES MegaMan games and I never played those as a kid. With MegaMan 9 and 10 they could have made the visuals look like Street Fighter 2 HD Remix but the NES style visuals and sound haven't aged badly.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Because the 8 hit mode looks better and the music is also better. Each to their own.

 

[Irishonion]

Keep my eye out for this. Just bought a switch, so definitely want all the games!

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

I'll be changing between combination of all settings because they are all fantastic

 

[Protome]

An appreciation of the original's visuals and audio? (They included the original sounds and music in the retro mode.)

You can also switch between the retro and new sound independently of the graphics which is why I'm glad it's there. Such a neat idea.

 

[Kurt]

Will biy this for switch. Best version because its also portable.

What would be the prize?
Also, is there any word about hd rumble?

As a guy who is nearer 40 than 30, I agree with you.

I recently played through Monkey Island again, and although I was a massive fan of the originals I never once switched to the classic mode.

All down to taste I suppose. I know guys that love the old 8-bit art styles.
