WONDER BOY RETURNS REMIX Nintendo Switch Review

The gameplay reminds me of an old school arcade game. You run, jump and attack. These are solid and responsive, making a fun game to play

There are 3 “difficulty” levels you can play with. The first you play as Tanya, and can only be hurt by falling. TomTom is the middle level and how I think it should be played. Finally, the third gives you 10 lives and that’s it.

Wonder Boy is incredibly bright and vibrant. The whole game has a Kirby cute style to it. As, this can put people off, and admittedly looking at the screenshots I wasn’t really into the game.

Furthermore, the music is remixed from the original Wonder Boy game. They are limited to only a couple of tracks, which means that by the end of the game you may be a bit bored of them.

Also, I had a lot of fun in handheld mode, and the performance was perfect. In docked it played just as good, with no frame drops of glitches.

Overall, Wonder Boy was a bit anti-climatic. It was a great game to start playing but got a bit boring playing through. Finally, please check out our gaming reviews. Also, don’t forget to connect with the Jabba Reviews team on Facebook or Twitter.
