2020's been a pretty torrid year by all accounts, but there's some light at the end of the tunnel for those who love Nintendo's legendary Game Boy, at least.

Indie studio Spacebot Interactive has announced that it will ship a brand-new RPG for the monochrome marvel early next year, and that pre-orders are open now.

Boasting a turn-based combat system, weapon and armour upgrades, plenty of enemies, multiple endings and a 6-to-7 hour runtime, Dragonborne will be available in physical packaging (just like the old days!) and costs $54.73 / 42 / 46.46.

Are the blatant reuses of things from other GB games laziness or meant to be a throwback? Like the Pokemon battle layout, the Pokemon TCG font for the battle menu, Link's Awakening for the dungeon graphics and regular font, etc.

Holy shit, and the dragon uses Flamethrower instead of something like "Fire Breath".

It looks like Link's Awakening mixed with Pokemon. But otherwise doesn't look that fun honestly >_>

I was thinking it looks more like Final Fantasy Adventure.

I'll never understand people that put out games on obsolete hardware. All that time and effort and you couldn't just release it on Steam like a normal person?

If people want nostalgia on their Game Boy, and have 50 bucks, they would buy an original, rare/uncommon Game Boy game instead, not this wannabe shit.

I was thinking that too, but some parts look more like one and some like the other. Should have included that too.

There's some damn good sprite work in this, really, considering the hardware it's based on. But holy crap, the music is terrible. >_>

These throwback titles tend to be admirable for their use of old hardware specs, but otherwise uninteresting. This looks like no exception, sadly.

12 for rom only but thats still too expensive. Disappointing cause I was looking forward to this for 5

Edit: damn thats a lot of reused sprites too. They used the water spouts right out of Pokmon Red/Blue too.
