After years of inactivity, the Wonder Boy franchise is enjoying something of a resurgence thanks to the release of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and Monster Boy, the latter being a kind of spiritual sequel. However, it’s not the only Wonder Boy-themed release we’ve seen in recent years; the PC and PS4-based Wonder Boy Returns hit the market in 2016.
Now, thanks to a listing on the Korean Game Ratings and Administration Committee, we can be pretty sure that the game will be making the leap over to Switch in the near future.
As the title suggests, this is a remake of the original game with improved visuals, but it was met with a rather lukewarm reception at launch due to the iffy controls, lacklustre animation and general lack of polish.
The ‘Remix’ at the end of the title would suggest that Switch owners might benefit from some additional content, but what shape that might take is anyone’s guess.
