Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice Releases On Switch In May

If I recall is a EU release to import.

If we can have videogames filled with endless violence we can have videogames with a bit of old fashioned smut.

As long as it is age rated appropriately I don't see an issue.

Larry for Smash!

You guys allow this but not Super Seducer?

The last Switch game was the first Larry title I played and I really enjoyed it! I expected it to be like a Carry On film and it was, but it was also surprisingly touching and lovely in places with a beautiful jazz soundtrack. The characters were genuinely likeable and it had some unexpected storylines like having to set up a gay wedding and befriending a drag queen in prison, as well as a lot of amusing social commentary. And far from being portrayed as a stud Larry is mocked by the women throughout the game for his behaviour!

I think this series is misunderstood or has changed a lot. Will definitely pick up the sequel to continue the story. 😃

@Xaessya seriouslt larry is a legend. and well he is the joke and it takes the piss out of people like that. Seducer well he didnt get the joke and thought larry was the man.

Of all the Sierra games that kicked on... I wouldn’t have picked leisure suit Larry

Yeah... gonna have to pass on this one.

@jump

Larry TO smash!

I loved the Game Grumps' series of Magna Cum Laude but that's where my experience of this series will stay. I appreciate it for what it does that has grabbed people, but I'm okay.

@foobarbaz You had to do that quiz for the first Switch game too!

It's always refreshing to read about a game guaranteed not to increase my backlog.

‘Wet Dreams Don’t Dry’ or ‘Wet Dreams Dry Twice’... which one is it, Larry?!

@Clyde_Radcliffe I think the trailer doesn't do it justice, since it's about a solid minute of bums. Then again, I did get Carry On vibes!

@timp29 Time for a King’s Quest comeback!

@Xaessya Nintendo didn't put Super Seducer on the eshop because it's AO. This must not be I s'pose.

Larry is repugnant so I think the humor is communicated more clearly.

Enjoyed this on pc.

Weird seeing it come to switch cant see ninty crowd even knowing who larry is, and it has a rather "adult" theme to it

I did enjoy the Sierra games back in the day. Was the other LSL game for Switch any good?

@jump - Knowing his franchise, "smashing" isn't even his strong suit.

Stay with the original 3 games, this one is not so well.

@GrailUK I’ve played all the LSL games released, and the best are def 1-7. That said, WDD and WDDT are a good reboot to the series. I quite enjoyed WDD, and it’s far far far better than the trash 3D LSLs that were released on 360.

That said, WDD puzzles aren’t as easy as the originals, and the jokes aren’t up to Al Lowe quality. Still a solid entry for LSL however.

@Tandy255 The 2015 reboot of King’s Quest is nothing short of magnificent imo! I really want more of that instead of more of...this.

Like a tuba made out of nostrils

Roflol!!!

I've never played the original games, and I don't have much interest in this. I hope fans will find it fun though?

@TheFullAndy I gotta agree on this.

@Dm9982 - Honestly a Leisure Suit Legacy collection may need to be in order. The original 7 are buried quite often.

The reboot does well enough, though. I think the old view, new era may get a lot of mileage on Larry and his gullibility trait.

@Paraka I concur, I’d JUMP at a collection of 1-7 on Switch. You can get the collection on Gog for like $15, and it works on modern PCs. I’ll have to get em sometime on my laptop if there’s nothin soon for a remastered collection!

According to PEGI, this game is rated 16, while Wet Dreams Don't Dry was rated 18, so, if anything, this game will be tamer than the previous installment. boo hiss

@Dm9982 Thanks

@Silly_G - That's likely because the sex shop was in the first one. Heard a bit about them having trouble with approval because of that alone.

@Dm9982 - Yeah, I think I still have Magna Cum Laude floating around somewhere. I remember getting it when edge was all the rage.

Wasn't til later I was introduced to the Originals in a 5-pack disc. The humor was so much better and tongue-in-cheek than the previous experience of raunchy for raunchy sake. Would definitely vote to get those up in front again.

EDIT; Silly me, double posting.

There's always a vocal group on every Nintendo site, who complains about these sort of games. It's going to lead to developers not bringing any sort of fanservice'y games to Switch.

Good ol' Larry. I'm glad I can get these games on Switch.
And I'd love to have all the classic Adventure games, be it the old Sierra Larry series or the LucasArts gems, on my handy handheld.

I'm not a fan of Larry's current design. His nose is supposed to be HUGE and bulbous, or at least long, and one of the first things you would notice about his face. But I like how the material seems modernized to keep up with the times and Larry's still plugging along barely keeping up. I might give the new games a go.

@masterLEON I’m not a huge fan of the design either, I prefer his original and the LSL1RE,6,7. But trust these are comparable to the originals.

i respect women far too much to ever be interested in a title like this. i mean, i literally cannot. did i mention how much i respect women?

@yuwarite

Nah Larry’s been getting this type of response since the 80s in gamer mags. It’s really not anything new or Nintendo specific. He’s still here in 2021 so he must be doing something right

I wish Indiana Jones would get some new Point & Click adventures already. I’ll settle for a remake of Fate of Atlantis.

Played both of these reboots with a friend on PC, had a good time with both. It's not on the same level as the originals, a LOT of pop-cultural references to the point that it gets tiring. They're still way better than the other "New" LSL games we've seen after 7.

@masterLEON - They by no means like the original humor. But leagues better than the "Lovage" series that was rebooted in the mid 00's.

I feel like they could have done more to the design to keep closer to the original for sure, but I don't hate this design. Nor the new style the whole game took, sort of actually like the cel-like cartoon.

I like how each screenshot is a fun game of "find the phallus."

@Anguspuss except in super seducer you get punished for acting like a lecherous creep and rewarded for flirting while respecting boundaries. The "respect wahmen" crowd can't seem to make the difference for some reason.

@Nicolai oh in LSL7 there was a whole “Find D*ldo” mini game. He was hidden in basically each area of the game and if you found him every time you got an Easter egg, plus full ending

@Gwynbleidd I liked WDD well enough to warrant checking this out,and can’t fault the dev for trying to stay in bounds to make sales / appease the ratings boards.... but I do concur, PolCor culture sucks. Just be thankful you don’t live in USA where it’s all the rage right now.... ugh. George Carlin was right when he said, “The *****fication of America”

@Sszx09 We all know the history of the Larry games. I'm talking about the general response these sort of games get on Nintendo sites; it's always the same. You would think that Nintendo fans would be championing that their console has the least amount of censorship, and allows these games.

@Dm9982 "I concur, I’d JUMP at a collection of 1-7 on Switch. You can get the collection on Gog for like $15, and it works on modern PCs. I’ll have to get em sometime on my laptop if there’s nothin soon for a remastered collection!"

Yup, the 7th "Love for Sail!" was the last quality "Larry" game, and that came out 25 years ago.

Yay, Larry is still around

@yuwarite

I know what you meant. I’m saying the response you see here is no different from the response this series received back in the day when it was PC only. So it’s not anything specific to Nintendo as you seem to be implying.

“90% certain this background contains nothing phallic”. The city skyline in the background...

@Sszx09 Then you're implying something that I didn't. Point is, Nintendo fans should be thankful that their system is doing better in regards to less censorship compared to the other consoles, yet that vocal group still persists in the comments of Nintendo sites. It's contrary to being a fan of a platform; it's like you want your platform to have less games and to be less appealing to a market who wants to play such games on console. And again, I'm not talking about this (Larry) franchise in particular, but these types of fanservice'y/ bawdy games as a whole.

The trailer is hilarious. Not for me though, ha.

Personally, if Al Lowe (creator of Larry) is not involved, it's not worth the time or the money.

Imagine Leisure Suit Larry on the SNES? Nintendo has changed indeed.
