SEGA is going retro on its Wave Master record label in Japan. They just announced the Alex Kidd Complete Album, which will feature the music from every entry in the series all packaged in one box. It will be released on August 14, 2009. Let the nostalgia commence!
Games Asylum: "A remaster of SEGA’s Alex Kidd in Miracle World is imminent. If you’re wondering why this 2D platformer, dating back to 1986, is being plucked from gaming’s depths and being given a digital dust off – even gaining a collector’s edition with a bunch of goodies – then chances are you aren’t too familiar with the debut of SEGA’s pre-Sonic mascot."
No idea. Even as a kid I would much rather play Sonic or Mario games over Alex Kidd and I played anything back then and usually liked it. Not a Sega IP that I'm fond of. Now Kid Chameleon I like. Lol
Its a great game with some cool secrets/bugs in it.
Also the levels had great variety. I think thats why it stands out amongst the platformers of its time. Great music too.
I thought it was a decent game for the time. The remake/remaster is probably more tight with the controls and will be better for it.
Get your backhands at the ready, because Alex Kidd is back and running wild on the Nintendo Switch.
