Wonder Girl playable in Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
DotEmu hasn’t shown the hero design in Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap – until today. The company gave fans a first look at the character, including the reveal of a playable Wonder Girl.
Here’s a new trailer:
DotEmu added in a new blog post:
“Over the years we’ve seen many different versions of Wonder Boy, depending on the specific game or console. Even the concept art had radically different characters. With such a diverse foundation to build from, it was on me to decide which direction to move in for this latest contribution to the Wonder Boy saga.
I remember as a kid, just looking at those tiny little pixels on my TV made my imagination run wild. So the obvious design choice was to start with the material I’d spent countless hours enjoying. I began with the original sprites from the Master System, aiming for a 21st-century reinterpretation.

Blossom Tales not ruled out for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
Following a few years of development, Blossom Tales from Castle Pixel and publisher FDG Entertainment is due out on Steam this month. That’s where it’s staying for now, but a Switch version isn’t out of the cards. When asked about Switch, FDG showed willingness to port it to additional platforms if it does well on Steam.
FDG is already pledging support for Switch with Monster Boy and Oceanhorn. Seeing Blossom Tales on Switch might not be a crazy thought, especially given its Zelda inspirations.
Thanks to Noel for the tip.
[Let’s Talk] Which indie games are you looking forward to on Switch?
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch eShop | 50 Comments
The verdict is out on just how much third-party support Switch will receive. If there’s anything we can count on though, it’d be indie support.
The Switch Nindies Showcase from the end of February proved just how much smaller developers are comitted to the platform. SteamWorld Dig 2, Runner3, Flipping Death, and Wargroove were just some of the games announced.
These aren’t dinky little games we’re talking about here. The SteamWorld series has received wide acclaim. Everyone knows just how good the Runner games are. Flipping Death is the spiritual successor to Stick it to the Man. Wargroove should interest Advance Wars fans who haven’t been shown much love lately.
And again, this is just a tip of the iceberg. Yooka-Laylee, Stardew Valley, Pocket Rumble, Shakedown Hawaii, TumbleSeed, Graceful Explosion Machine, Overcooked, and Thumper are among the many titles in the pipeline. Even better, most of these titles are coming this year.
So what’s on your radar right now? Are there any games in particular that tickle your fancy? Let us know below!
