Rod Land available to pre-order for NES and Game Boy
Spare the rod, spoil the gamer
Rit and Tam were living in a peaceful fairy village along with their mother after their father had passed away. Suddenly, the people and creatures in the village become aggressive and an evil monster kidnaps their mother. Now after 30 years, the Rod Land games finally arrive in North America for the first time!
In 1992, ports for the NES and Game Boy appeared but were limited to Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. The minimal amount of text made it easy to port, however, it never saw a physical release in the United States. This was possibly due to the SNES launching in 1990 and Nintendo of America pulling publishing support for the aging NES to focus on the newer console
With the rise of the internet, the price to own Rod Land has ballooned, regardless of the port or region. Today, a complete set of the NES PAL version would cost you well into the hundreds of dollars and even more for a new copy. Even in Japan, collectors have started pushing the prices up at some Japanese retro game shops. While pricing for the Game Boy and Famicom isn’t far behind, the price to own and enjoy Rod Land is very high, even after its release 30 years ago.
