GN Version 5.0

PARIS – Nov. 16, 2017 – DotEmu, developer and publisher extraordinaire specializing in modern revivals of beloved retro games, and developer Lizardcube are offering deals on Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap starting today with a significant discount of 30 percent off the original $19.99 price on the Nintendo Switch eShop from Nov. 16 – 30 throughout North America. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap’s Switch version will also be 30 percent off in Europe via the eShop from Nov. 16 – 30.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap launched earlier this year to rave reviews on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The remake is a breathtaking modernization of the 1989 Sega Master System cult classic featuring masterfully hand-drawn animation and an exquisitely re-orchestrated soundtrack. Developer Lizardcube’s faithful recreation of a journey of recovery from a curse preserves the original game’s sense of adventure, even retaining support for passwords from the original game and a retro feature that allows fans to play in the game's original graphics.

With a new character, Wonder Girl, three difficulty settings, six playable transformations and the option to instantaneously swap between original 8-bit or modernized visuals and audio (or to mix assets from both eras), Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is the perfect chance to discover or return to this lighthearted adventure which captivated a generation.
