The Game Boy Advance Is Getting Its First Commercial Release In 13 Years
Goodboy Galaxy is on Kickstarter now, Switch version also planned
It's been 13 years since the Game Boy Advance last saw a commercial release, but that comes to an end soon as Richard Nicol is bringing Goodboy Galaxy to the console – as well as other platforms, such as Switch and Steam.
This platform adventure game stars Maxwell, a space-age pup, who "explores unfamiliar worlds, makes strange new friends and contends with mysterious forces". Goodboy Galaxy will feature "jam-packed levels with multiple routes, 50 different characters to befriend, secret areas and hideaways to be discovered as well as a wide array of beasties to blast".
There's a demo available now, if you want to give it a spin. Nicol has already gotten the game in front of some pretty influential developers, including Supercell creative director Paul Chambers, who had this to say:
Adam Vian of SFB Games (Snipperclips) adds:
The Kickstarter funding target is £18,000, of which over £3,000 has been pledged at the time of writing. Funding options include a digital version for the GBA (£18) which you can play via emulation or on a flash cart, or a downloadable version for Switch / Steam (also £18). There's also a boxed GBA cart, which comes complete with manual and stickers, all supplied by First Press Games. This will cost you £44.
We have to admit, Goodboy Galaxy certainly looks polished.
