Nintendo Game Boy receives a new and exclusive game 31 years after its launch in 1989, courtesy of Green Boy Games and Kickstarter. In 2021, everyone and their mother’s sister’s fiancé Banana Slug’s pet might want a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and games for them, but there are also a few nostalgic gamers who would like a reason to break out Nintendo Game Boy, one one of the largest portable consoles ever made. That being said, not often the nostalgic 31-year-old hardware, soon the 32-year-old, gets a new game, but that’s exactly what he gets this spring. Specifically, even after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Shapeshifter will be released sometime this spring and right now, the only way to play will be Nintendo Game Boy.
As Kickstarter mentions, the developer has released several Nintendo Game Boy games in the past, and like them, it will be mostly limited to physical cartridges to “keep alive the spirit” of the “legendary console” alive.
As for the game itself, play as Elliot “an ordinary person” who goes to spend a weekend in the mountains with some friends. That being said, the camping trip is quickly interrupted by a little elf who asks you for help to save his world from a wizard. For this purpose, the elf gives you a special power: any animal you touch, you become. However, the power only lasts until dawn, which means you have to reach your goal before sunrise.
If you find any of this interesting, be sure to check out Kickstarter, which has already raised nearly $ 19,000, much more than its $ 7,304 goal.
