Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas launches for Switch via the eShop on June 22. This will be the only way to purchase the game. Reader StrawHatEevee emailed the developer, and received a reply stating that there are currently “no plans” to make it available as a physical release.

FDG will be publishing Monster Boy on Switch. Unlike Oceanhorn, there’s a good chance for a physical version of that game.

FDG Entertainment revealed today that their Zelda-inspired action adventure game Oceanhorn: Monster of the Uncharted Seas will launch on Nintendo Switch on June 22nd. The game will run at 60fps in 1080p while the Switch is docked and in 720p while in handheld mode.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap made it to Switch last month, but we also can’t forget about Monster Boy – which is also planned for the system. Last week, the developers shared a blog to show off the game’s improved visuals.

What you see is the new visual style. The image below is the old version. It now features added lighting and detail.

Good news: Monster Boy may not be too far off. The team is now “in the final stage of development.”

In a post made on the forum NeoGaf earlier today, a developer from FDG Entertainment stated that, while too earlier to confirm anything, the Switch and PS4 will be likely to see physical releases. Read the full post below.

It’s too early to confirm anything but Switch and PS4 have the best chances for a physical release because of a less risky business. That said we love Xbox One too – everyone from the ID@Xbox Team is super nice and helpful. We’ll see! Hopefully there’s enough interest coming from players of all platforms while we’re pitching to retail distributors. The amount of Twitter votes for a physical copy of Monster Boy have been very encouraging so far. Thanks for the continued interest!

It seems somewhat likely that we’ll see a physical release here. We’ll keep you updated should anything more concrete show up.

FDG Entertainment prepared a new video today that provides a first look at Oceanhorn running on Switch. The brief clip, posted below, is off-screen but shows the game running at 60 frames per second.

Do you want to see a physical version of Monster Boy on Switch? Now’s your chance to let publisher FGD Entertainment know.

On Twitter, the company put out a message asking fans if they’re interested in Monster Boy getting a retail release. Simply “like” the message to show your support.

Nintendo World Report captured extensive footage from Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom at PAX East earlier this month. Watch 25 minutes of gameplay below.

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.

Developer FDG Entertainment has added a new entry on its blog consisting of some questions and answers about Monster Boy. Topics include how the game is related to the classic Wonder Boy in Monster Land, how long will it be and whether or not there will be a physical copy of the game .

Check it out after the break.

FDG Entertainment teased two games for Switch last October. The first is Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. The second was thought to be Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas.

On Twitter, FDG Entertainment confirms that Oceanhorn is indeed its second Switch game. It should launch before the end of the year.

FDG’s tweet reads:


It was previously mentioned that FDG’s two Switch games were planned for the first half of 2017. Hopefully that’s still the case.
