Before Sonic was on the scene, SEGA's mascot was Alex Kidd, who starred in Alex Kidd in Miracle World, a Master System game that released back in 1986. Now, more than thirty years later, that game is getting a remake. Merge Games, who published the recently released Streets of Rage 4 will be on board with the project, with the game to release on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and "Xbox and PlayStation consoles", according to IGN, who revealed the game during their Summer of Gaming event. The remake will feature new levels, modes, and boss battles, and even a "retro mode" as well, all based upon the original game. Currently, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is set for a Q1 2021 launch.

Hopefully somehow it gets an early release seems like a long wait.

Kind of makes the Sega Ages switch release a little obsolete but I guess that one is obly on switch anyway.
Actually glad they included a classic mode.

Though I'd be more down for an Alex Kidd collection if they plan to keep going.
Maybe remake the BMX trail, Lost Stars, Shinobi World and Enchanted castle as a collection or two packs if this one sells well.

Hopefully they finally decide to make a new Alex Kidd game.
Alex Kidd Adventure?
Either way its good to see more Alex Kidd anything finally.

Now if they could just bring us that rom hack fan made sequel to Miracle World as a DLC expansion.
It was pretty good.

why use the nintendo "DX" title that is for wiiu remasters? lol seems wierd for sega to use specialy when it didnt have a wiiu release first lol.

Eh, who knows?

Maybe this was originally gonna be for the Wii U then got shelved due to the Wii U terrible sales.

Anyway the worst thing if the game was the obligatory rock-paper-scissors I hope you can disable that or at least make them optional.

Take a look at my nickname then at the Alex Kidd In Miracle World manual.

Basically I couldn't pronounce Radaxian as a small kid.

Anyway yeah the remake colors are kind of lame, way too dark.
