There are generally two schools of thought when it comes to remakes. Some people believe they should be kept as faithful as possible to the original source material, while others think a remake is an opportunity to fix and enhance things that may not have been feasible back when the original came out. While I personally prefer games that do the latter, the recently released Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX seems to have its own ideas on how to combine these two ideas to create something new that still feels relatively retro.
Daily Video Game writes: "Several popular games are getting steeply discounted for Nintendo Switch owners on eShop right now, including games from Merge Games, Nacon, Noodlecake, Drageus Games, and more!"
Daily Video Game writes: "eShop has plenty of new digital games on sale right now from Bandai Namco, Fellow Traveller, Merge Games, eastasiasoft, and Graffiti Games, offering up to 85% off on several of their popular games such as Tales of Vesperia, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Aragami, and more for Nintendo Switch users!"
Alex Kidd in Miracle World debuted on the Sega Master System on November 1, 1986. Merge Games revived Sega’s classic franchise earlier this year, which has sold nearly 200,000 units since June.
What do you mean? It was reasonably popular on the Sega Master System, I enjoyed the game even though I couldn't beat it as a kid, I'll probably buy it after a few price drops on Steam.
