It's a great day for fans of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and LucasArts adventures, isn't it? Two new games, announced within hours of one another, have specifically named retro point-and-clicks as their inspiration. It's like we're back in the '90s again!
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town, a title that somehow got past Nintendo's approval system, is an interactive storytelling game based lovingly on the aesthetic stylings of Monkey Island.
Ten years after his father's disappearance, young Willy receives a mysterious letter telling him to come to Bone Town, a place full of pirates and weirdos. There will, apparently, be plenty of old-school references and Easter Eggs for those of you that miss a simpler time, when games were all about putting an object on top of another object to solve a puzzle.
After coming out on PC last year, Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch some time in Q1, 2021, which is business-speak for "probably before April".

All Willy's end up in Bone Town one way or another.
The style seems pretty good, but looks like we are set for quite a few of these point and click games this year.
@nessisonett They're up to something, I'd wager!
Fun, wonder if they'll use Stand By Me in the game too
I like it! It looks pretty cool! And it's coming early, I like it.
Title of your sex tape
Willy Beamish is the only Willy I point and click.
I don't know but I think we need to start having Physical edition in 2021....
Argh! I saw the first part of the headline, and I thought to myself “omg, Willy Beamish!”
