Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap gets physcial release | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap gets physcial release](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/wonder-boy-the-dragons-trap-krijgt-een-fysieke-editie.jpeg "Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap gets physcial release")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/wonder-boy-the-dragons-trap-krijgt-een-fysieke-editie.jpeg)Earlier this year in April, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap came out for the Nintendo Switch. A remake of the SEGA classic. In the game, you can switch back and forth between the original and the new style with the push of a button.

One thing was a shame for this game and that was that it was only available as download. But DotEmu has now, with the help of Nicalis (known for for exmaple Cave Story +), acknowledged there will be a physical release of the game.

When is not known at the time of writing, but as soon as we know, you will of course hear it from us.

## [](#extras)Extra’s

Nicalis always makes something special of physical releases by going the extra mile and add things like a little manual, a additional goodie etc. Something from which many larger companies can learn.

Let’s hope that for Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap this will happen as well, what might be be cool is a reversible cover in the style of the original SEGA Master System Artwork … but we’re going to let ourselves be suprised by Nicalis in that regard.

Whether we personally aquire the physcial version of the game depends a bit on that point because we purchased this game immediately upon launch with the suspicion that there would be no physical release coming. Even though it’s a nice and good the game , if nothing else is added it is not worth the double dip from our point of view.

Do you have Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap yet? If not be sure to check out the physical version!
