Last week, Nicalis announced that a physical version of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will be released in North America towards the start of next week. We can also now say that the same package will be offered in Europe and Australia.
Headup Games will be responsible for the retail release of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap in PAL regions. Just like in North America, it’s planned for Q1 2018.
Lizardcube, who developed Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, shared today’s news on Twitter:

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
The new update for Earth Atlantis is here. Headup Games and Pixel Perfex have sent out version 1.0.1.
Today’s patch involves the following:
– Drop the sub-weapon that you had equipped before you got defeated right at your restart point
– Item boxes spawn much closer to the restart point and player’s location
– Increased drop rates of items and sub-weapons
– Increased the player’s ship speed
– Reduced the difficulty of some boss monsters, especially on Easy Mode
– Minor bugs fixed
– A new game icon
Earth Atlantis should be updated automatically to version 1.0.1. If it doesn’t, there should be an update option in the game’s settings.

Earth Atlantis patch coming soon
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments
Pixel Perfex and Headup Games launched Earth Atlantis on the Switch eShop last week. Similiar to some other titles we’ve been seeing, a patch is already underway.
Pixel Perfex has at least confirmed that it will be quicker and easier to get weapons back. The home menu icon will be refreshed as well. Other than that, we’ll have to see if anything else is changed.
Earth Atlantis likely releasing on Switch this week, file size
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
We don’t want to make any assumptions about release dates for Switch eShop games at this point, but Earth Atlantis is very likely coming out this week. Nintendo’s North American website originally listed it for last Thursday, but that didn’t end up happening.
Earth Atlantis now has a listing on the US Switch eShop with a date of October 5. Nintendo’s UK site also lists the same date. Hopefully things stick this time around.
Finally, we have the file size for Earth Atlantis. It’s a 562MB download.

Earth Atlantis not releasing on Switch tomorrow, but due out “very soon”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Although Nintendo’s website listed it for release this week, Earth Atlantis won’t actually be on the Switch eShop tomorrow. Publisher Headup Games instead says that it will be arriving “very soon.”
Despite that, the Switch eShop is still on track to have 18 new games tomorrow. That’s because we found out earlier today that Burning Fight is this week’s NeoGeo game on Switch.
Thanks to Daan for the tip.

Slime-san dev will be adding “Blackbird’s Kraken” DLC expansion to the Switch version for free
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
Earlier today, Slime-san debuted on the Switch eShop. Even after you complete the game, you’ll have more content to enjoy down the road.
Developer Fabraz confirmed on Twitter that the DLC expansion “Blackbird’s Kraken” will be added to the Switch version in the future. Better yet, it will be entirely free.
Absolutely! Free patch in the future. And that's GREAT, glad you enjoy it! 🙂
