Paul writes - "A Hole New World, from Mad Gear Games, was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter way back in July 2015. Reaching over £9,600 of an £8,000 target, it’s clear to see that their vision of NES visuals and modern playability struck a chord with gamers looking for their next retro hit. Well, now it’s here on Xbox One, so let’s see what they have made!"
Handheld Players takes a look at the Nintendo Switch new releases in March 2018.
Mad Gear Games has announced that its retro platformer A Hole New World will be coming to Nintendo Switch on March 1, 2018.
A Hole New World is a fair crack at the modern retro indie game template that we have seen plenty of times before. The visuals and sound are authentic, however the imposed difficulty due to game length rears its ugly head again and takes away from the overall experience. Recommended, but be prepared for some frustration.
A very much like the price... not sure how I'd get on with the difficulty though. My old skool habits of happily playing a hard game have very much left me.
