It feels like everywhere anyone turns, there’s a new story about a Wonder Boy project of some kind. Case in point: Wonder Boy Returns is being ported to Switch this month under the new moniker of Wonder Boy Returns Remix. Watch the launch trailer, below:
Wonder Boy Returns was released on PC in 2017 and is a remake of the arcade Wonder Boy that dropped back in 1986. Its gameplay is reminiscent of Adventure Island, with the hero (named Boy) rolling around on a skateboard and flinging hammers. Sadly, the 2017 version of that remake was met with mixed reviews, but this new iteration is bringing reworked stages that were constructed under the careful eye of Ryuichi Nishizawa, the creator of Wonder Boy himself. Wonder Boy Returns Remix also boasts a new charge hammer attack, which adds a fresh twist to this old classic.
Wonder Boy Returns Remix launches on Switch May 23. Will you be giving it a swing? Share with us on social media and in the comments!
