@KayFiOS Agreed, I don't hate Woody Woods, but Chilly Waters, Spiny Desert and Waluigi Island are way more fun and chaotic. Hopefully they get added as DLC or something.
@TheKillerTofu With the Ring Option Menu disabled, you can do exactly just that. Holding the buttons allow you to bring up the menu. It's quite intuitive.
@darthstuey I understand that people would be turned off by its price as there are similar games that are offered for a much lower value. I cannot comment if it is better than Hollow Knight as I have yet to play that. I can attest however, that Monster Boy is one of the most enjoyable games I've had in a long time. It is the Switch's "Symphony of the Night".
I've seen player's 100% completion time range from 24 to 33 hours, so that should give you some insight of the game's longevity. Every aspect of Monster Boy is of very high quality. I'd wholeheartedly encourage you to reconsider your stance on purchasing it, and get the physical copy if possible.
@AcesHigh Honestly, I find it baffling that many would write this off as "another indie metroidvania that's more pricey than other indie games". The outstanding legacy of Wonder Boy/Monster World is obscured in our current gaming generation. Game Atelier is very lucky to get help from the original creator of the series and several prolific composers. The 5 years of development has really paid off, you can tell a lot of passion has been put into it. I cannot recommend this game highly enough.

Re: Pokémon Unite Launches On Switch Next Week, Free Zeraora Bonus Revealed
@Primarina I have played the beta and can confirm you can play against bots.
Also game is fun. It really doesn't hurt to try whether you're into mobas or not...
Re: You Can Download Japan's Pokémon Unite Switch Network Test And Play Right Now
Tried the beta and it exceeded my expectations. Not really understanding the comments here that wouldn't give it a glance, let alone try it.
Re: Monster Boy Sold More Copies On Switch Last Week "Than The Entire 5 Months Before That"
Bought it at $50 upon release. It's exactly what I needed and could not be any more happy with my purchase. Completely worth it in my opinion.
