Nicalis has announced a retail version for Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap.
The retail version is confirmed for PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch in both North America and Europe in Q1 of next year, for $39.99. The European retail version is being handled by their European partner, Headup Games.
Here’s a rundown on the game, via Nicalis:
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is a beautifully drawn and animated remake of the unforgettable Sega Master System game Wonder Boy III. It finds our hero cursed by a dragon, forced to live in the form of a Lizard-Man (and new additional forms) until he can break the curse by defeating all of the other dragons in the land. The game’s developer, Lizardcube, reverse-engineered the original game in order to faithfully replicate the character movements, item drop logic, secret door locations and much more.
The Switch and PS4 versions of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap are presented in widescreen HD, with enhanced interface functions, a new playable character (Wonder Girl) and the option to toggle between the all-new hand-drawn visuals and the original graphics.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. In case you missed it, you can find our review for the game here (we highly recommend it!).
