Whatever the issues it faced during development, this easily amounts to one of WayForward’s worst efforts over the years. Set to disappoint fans and newcomers alike, 8-Bit Land shows glimmers of potential but fails to capitalise on it in any commendable way.
Continue Play's David Ochart subjects himself to this dire game - based on the hit tv show - so you don't have to. 3/10.
Cartoon Network's Regular Show is a cartoon that seemingly came out of nowhere to grow a following of an age-diverse viewers. As with seemingly anything that proves popular enough these days, a tie-in video game inspired by the show came out not too long ago called Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land. While this 3DS title boasts a good amount of fan service and shows an appreciation for retro gameplay, it fails to provide much more than a mildly entertaining experience.

I am a huge fan of Regular Show. I remember seeing a promo for the cartoon and thinking, “Well, this sure looks strange.” When I finally got a chance to see it, I was instantly hooked... As I got more involved with the show, I noticed more and more retro video game references popping up. Even the Sega Master System makes an appearance in several episodes. It quickly became obvious to me that series creator JG Quintel is a huge fan of retro video games and the generation from which they came, and his love of 80s culture is proudly displayed in every episode. Having understood this, I could only imagine how amazing a Regular Show video game would be. My excitement grew when I heard that not only was a game being made, but it was also being programmed by WayForward, one of my favorite developers. I thought that there was no way that this game would be anything short of perfect. Now, having completed Regular Show: Mordecai & Rigby in 8-Bit Land, I found myself feeling that, while the game is fun, it could have been so much more. So much more.
