<p>After years of inactivity, the Wonder Boy franchise is enjoying something of a resurgence thanks to the release of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/wonder_boy_the_dragons_trap">Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/monster_boy_and_the_cursed_kingdom">Monster Boy</a></strong>, 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 <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/09/turns_out_theres_no_such_thing_as_too_many_wonder_boy_games">Wonder Boy Returns</a></strong> hit the market in 2016.</p>
<p>Now, thanks to a listing on the <a class="external" href="https://www.grac.or.kr/Statistics/Popup/Pop_StatisticsDetails.aspx?e75876c12367668eead2b6d518082724a6c813a6a053e8e5ec12581d53453bb0">Korean Game Ratings and Administration Committee</a>, we can be pretty sure that the game will be making the leap over to Switch in the near future.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
