Switch Graphics from HD to 8-bit Freely with Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap’s “Retro” Feature

DotEmu and Lizardcube are thrilled to reveal an exciting new feature in our Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake: the “Retro” Feature.

Whether you’re a purist touting the idea that “it was better in the old days” or a futurist who digs 21st-century graphics and remastered soundtracks, this enhanced version of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap satisfies all persuasions. With the Retro Feature you can switch in-game from HD to 8-bit anytime, anywhere. If you have fond memories of piano key neckties and talking Trans Ams, the Retro Feature lets you go back in time with just the press of a button!

Nostalgists can load their last save from 1989 by entering the password scribbled on their geometry homework, or join millennials in beginning an adventure that defined an entire gaming generation!

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will be available this spring on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
