Very rarely do we find games releasing earlier than planned. Whilst delays and new launch dates are nothing new within the industry, Alex Kidd is looking to buck that trend with Miracle World DX releasing earlier than the Merge Games and Jankenteam teams had planned. That’s a good thing though, eh?
Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is the game that fans across the globe have been holding out for, bringing back a three decade old Alex Kidd and thrusting him into the limelight once more. After an initial release on the good old SEGA Master System back in the mid-1980s, the land of Miracle World is now being transformed for the better – and for more modern day systems.
- Alex Kidd is back as Miracle World DX is announced for Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Switch
- Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX gets confirmed release date and Signature Edition
Releasing on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, with just a £14.99 price tag in place, this nostalgia hit will allow Alex Kidd fans the chance to take in all the favourite locals from the game of back-in-the-day, complemented nicely with some all new locations for good measure.
But that’s not all that Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is able to deliver. A striking new art style is in place, as are improved boss fights and extra levels. There are also additional modes to enjoy too, with Retro Mode allowing the chance for you to enjoy the re-creation of the original visuals, whilst the Boss Rush Mode provides non-stop Rock Paper Scissors action. You can then also throw in further updates, most notably in the form of improvements to the combat, to the movement mechanics and in terms of the menu system. In all, the DX drop of Alex Kidd in Miracle World comes with a wealth of new content.
The key features of this remake include all of the following…
- A Legend Reborn – Dive into a stunning recreation of Alex Kidd in Miracle World with striking new art and tighter, more fluid controls.
- New Modes – New modes such including ‘Classic Mode’ and ‘Boss Rush Mode’ will be available for players alongside the standard game.
