No current plans for physical version of Oceanhorn
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 3 Comments
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.

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.”

Switch, PS4 “most likely” to see physical release of Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in News, Switch | 6 Comments
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.

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.
