"FDG Entertainment and Game Atelier have confirmed that it will release Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom for Switch in addition to the previously announced PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2017".

A legendary game series returns with an all-new adventure! Monster Boy is a colourful side-scrolling action adventure created in cooperation with Ryuichi Nishizawa, the creator of the Wonder Boy* Monster World* series (*Trademark of SEGA Corporation Japan). Monster Boy is being created to bring back the enjoyment of classic games that shine by simplicity. Pure, exciting gameplay; upbeat music and smooth graphics. You’ll need to overcome huge bosses, find hidden passages, discover powerful equipment and use all your wits and skills to remove a powerful curse. Monster Boy can transform into 5 different creatures, each with their own skills and abilities. Take advantage of all the unique powers to open new paths and advance in an epic story. Monster Boy is a love letter to gaming from the 80’s and 90’s – will you join us and celebrate together with us?

Just fired this up yesterday and I have to say that this game is brilliant.

Axiom Verge currently is my favorite Metroidvania on Switch, but this might be better.

Kudos to the developer Game Atelier as their effort here is GotY-worthy.

Just pickup mine so I try to do some gaming with it but Pokemon Go! Switch and SSBU will most likely take most of the time.

@Cobalt European physical? The irony is that this is a game from a French developer and German publisher - yet it's Europe that gets stuffed.

Looks cool, but the price is high. I've been spoilt by 60+ hours of Hollow Knight for less than a tenner. That said, I really liked The Dragon's Trap, and this has been eagerly awaited by me since the very first Switch Nindies presentation.

I know...

It's more about the PAL version than Europe in itself...

PAL = Europe + Australia + Russia...
Now, we have the PEGI, the USK for the germans and the ACB for the Australians, the ACIP for the Russians...
If you want to sell your game in these parts of the world, you have to wait for approval of all of the different classifications... :/

The boxes, the "manuals", the game, have to be reprinted for each part of the world...
So when you're small like an indie is, sometimes you cannot afford all these costs...

Does anyone have the physical version of this? I'm not interested in the Limited Run collectors edition, but the Japanese version is listed on Play Asia. It looks like English is supported, does anyone know if it has the latest version on the cartridge?

I got both the first release and the LRG preorder. If PA has it - if there is EN it should list on there. What link are you looking at? I suspect the LRG will have the latest update on it.

@SwitchForce It's listed here on Play Asia:-

The poster on the LRG Collectors edition page says the latest version is 1.05
https://limitedrungames.com/collections/neo-frontpage/product...

This patch note says 1.05 was released in September 2019, which was a year before the Play Asia listed release date.

I might just take a chance and order it, I'd expect it to have version 1.05 on the cart.

@MarioBrickLayer That's good to know but I myself still haven't gotten around to breaking the seal to get it going or I think I did but don't recall because varies game backlogs.
