From Nintendo Life: "We know we're risking the ire of several hundred very cross Sega Master System fans by saying this, but we have to be blunt — the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World, while inarguably an important and formative classic, is and always has been an exceptionally flawed game. Don't get us wrong, there's plenty to like and a surplus of charm present in its curious world, but mechanically and structurally there's a lot to be desired. Gotcha traps, luck-based design, missable key items and localisation issues rendering puzzles near-unsolvable? It's issues like these which make it something of a perfect candidate for a remake. Elevate the features that people enjoy (level design, visuals and soundtrack, shopping/inventory system) and iron out or fix the ones that they don't. It's a no-brainer!"
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.
