Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap dev “investigating” physical release, “may or may not happen”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap came out this week as a digital title on Switch. Lizardcube, the game’s developer, isn’t ruling out a physical version.
A new blog post states that the team is “investigating the possibility of doing a physical release later, however if it happens it probably wouldn’t be for all platforms/regions and may be in limited quantities.” Right now it “may or may not happen.”
Lizardcube said:
“The game is a digital download only. We are investigating the possibility of doing a physical release later, however if it happens it probably wouldn’t be for all platforms/regions and may be in limited quantities. We are looking into it; please bear we us that physical goods may not be at our reach and few studios at this point know how to manufacture them e.g. Switch games. So it may or may not happen.”

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.

You won’t have to wait much longer to play Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. Today, DotEmu announced that the game is set to launch on April 18 via the eShop (and other platforms). A “last surprise” will be revealed on March 18.
For those who haven’t heard of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap previously, here’s a brief overview:
“Boasting beautiful, hand-drawn animations and a re-orchestrated soundtrack, the cult classic returns with a unique blend of exploration, action, and adventure. Play as Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man, and Hawk-Man, and use their unique abilities to uncover the land’s deepest secrets. Switch in real-time between the original retro graphics and the visually stunning modern remake, and input your old Sega Master System passcode to unlock all of your old saves and progression – just how you left them in 1989.”
