Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap was a big success on Nintendo Switch, and it seems like we might soon get another game in the series on the system. “Wonder Boy Returns Remix” was rated today by the South Korean ratings board. While this isn’t an official confirmation just yet, it’s usually a pretty good indicator that the game will be released on the Switch fairly soon.
Wonder Boy Returns was first released on PC in October 2016. The game is a remake of the original Wonder Boy game, featuring HD graphics and other improvements. Since the Switch version is called “Remix”, there might also be additional new features, though we don’t know what those might be just yet.
We will keep you updated once Wonder Boy Returns Remix is officially announced.

Original: In a surprise, sudden announcement, Square Enix has confirmed that a new Octopath Traveler project is in the works for iOS and Android — and even provided a first trailer.
While initial details are slim, the game is confirmed to remain single-player focused. However, some early translations are reporting that the mobile title is not a port of the Switch title. In fact, it sounds as if the game will feature proper stories for all 8 characters and more contend may be added after launch.
Additionally, the game is stated to take place before the events of Octopath Traveler on Switch, with movement resembling more of an “on rails” game with swipe motions for movement.
