While we’re waiting on THQ Nordic and Pieces Interactive to give us an update on the upcoming remake of Alone in the Dark, Nintendo fans got a bit of a surprise to tide them over until we finally return to the Derceto mansion. That surprise is the release of the Game Boy Color version of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare.
The game was among the crop of Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance titles announced for the Nintendo Switch Online and Online Expansion Pack service. Obviously, while this version of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare can’t compete with the PlayStation or Dreamcast versions that were released around the same time, the GBC version is still pretty impressive for what developer Pocket Studios was able to do, particularly in the graphics department.
Also announced was Metroid II: Return of Samus, which still gets lost in the adoration competition between those who loved the original game, and those who love Super Metroid. The game certainly holds up better today than the NES original, and the minimalist music and the cavernous environment of SR388 certainly ups the dread and tension you’d want from an old-school Metroid game.
Meanwhile, the Alone in the Dark remake is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
