Trip World DX releasing on Switch this week

• August 27, 2023

Remember Trip World? Trip World was a Game Boy title from Sunsoft that was released in Japan in November of 1992 and in Europe in 1993. Although the game’s original launch never happened in North America, Trip World did make an appearance on the 3DS Virtual Console.

Well, not too long ago, it was announced by Limited Run Games that Trip World would be getting a physical re-release on the Nintendo Switch , Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The re-release, which is called Trip World DX, is going to include a new color version of the game, remastered audio and arrangements, development documents, cameo appearance designs, video interviews and more.

With that all said, one thing that hasn’t really been talked about much is when the game will be releasing. However, it seems that that has finally changed. According to the game’s listing on the Nintendo Switch eShop, Trip World DX will be releasing later this week, on August 31.

I had no idea this was coming. I’ve always been interested in this game, so I was pretty excited to see the headline. A physical copy would be cool, but it’s LRG, so I’ll stay away. Guess I’ll grab it digitally instead.

What about save states, or better yet, an actual save feature (instead of playing the game in one single burst)?

Trip World DX getting a physical release on Nintendo Switch

Trip World DX | Nintendo Switch

Limited Run Games and Sunsoft today revealed that an updated version of the classic Game Boy Trip World DX will have a physical release on Nintendo Switch , PS4, PS5, PC, Game Boy and Game Boy Color, with pre-orders starting April 28, 2023

In the classic Trip World, you take part in a globetrotting adventure through Trip World, a land filled with endearing creatures and mythical beings, as the bunny-like hero Yakopoo. A showstopper on its original handheld hardware, Trip World features some of the finest graphics and music ever heard in a video game in this form factor. The quality of its presentation is matched perfectly by the spot-on game mechanics and atmospheric level design that encourages the player to take part and enjoy the many sights of Trip World rather than rush through and beat it.

Complimenting this fantastic re-release, Trip World DX includes a variety of features that provide never-before-seen content and context to what makes this game such an incredible release of its time, including a music player with remastered audio and arrangements, original design documents, cameo appearance designs, and video interviews.

Trip World DX is not just a name; it also signals the most exciting aspect of this incredible re-release. Alongside original director Yuichi Ueda, the Carbon Engine team sought to realize a long-term dream for the director by developing a brand new colorized version of Trip World! Trip World DX is not just smoke and mirrors, nor simulated. This is a ground-up port of the game to spec for the Color handheld, with full compatibility on original hardware! What was once only in the planning stages in the 1990s is now fully realized and available thanks to the combined efforts of Sunsoft, Limited Run Games, and the Carbon Engine .

Review: Trip World DX (Nintendo Switch)

This is how to do nostalgia

The release of Atari 50 last year represented a change in mindset about how retro compilations are packaged up. I hope so, anyway. Including development documents, timelines, video interviews, and other materials made Atari 50 essential, even if those classics aren’t really your kind of games (as is the case for me). It was a true museum experience, and celebrating the heritage of video games in that way is key to their development as an art form. I’m delighted to say that Trip World DX is cut from the same cloth, and unlike Atari 50, this is my kind of game.

Trip World is a charming little 2D platformer from the Game Boy era. It’s vaguely reminiscent of Kirby, in the way that the little Chinchilla-inspired mascot hero, Yakopoo, bounces around and uses a range of abilities to pacify enemies.

As I wrote about the game when I reviewed it on its release to the 3DS Virtual Console : “Yakopoo has a cute little kick as his main attack, which is very limited in range and that limitation gives Trip World a reasonable challenge, especially in the boss battles. It’s easy enough to run through the levels by avoiding the regular enemies, but the boss battles are mandatory. Those bosses have a limited range of moves and attacks, but they are fast, and Yakopoo is quite weak.

“Then there’s the powerups, which are unnecessary but fun. Each of these turn Yakopoo, Kirby-style, into a different form, and give him a new ability. The ball is invulnerable and can jump really high. The flower allows Yakopoo to spit seeds at the enemy. If they hit, the enemy grows a flower on his head and is pacified for a while. Levels can be completed without these powerups, but they’re fun to play with.”

It’s going to be really familiar to Kirby fans, even if Yakopoo can’t inflate himself and fly around like the pink puffball. What distinguished Trip World from Kirby back then were the production values. This was a Sunsoft title, and it was Sunsoft at its best. Kirby was fine, but this game is gorgeous, with detailed backgrounds, exquisite animation, and a soundtrack that really pushed what the Game Boy was capable of. It’s only about an hour long from start to finish, only features four worlds, and it’s too difficult, but every second of it is a delight, and it is one of the more memorable Game Boy games.

It’s the only game in this “collection,” but the publisher, Limited Run Games, has one big bonus up its sleeve: a colour version for the first time! That’s where the “DX” in the title comes from. The developers have gone through the entire game and essentially created a Game Boy Color version of it for the first time. That colour adds even more charm and personality to the already vibrant experience, and is now the definitive way to play Trip World.

And all of that is further enhanced by an incredibly comprehensive package of “museum” items to browse through. There are scans of the original manuals, never-before-seen design documents, art and more. There’s the entire soundtrack, and even some work in remixing it by a DJ, which is incredibly amusing (even if the DJ’s performance is a bit amateurish). Best of all, though, is a small library of video interviews with the producer, which goes surprisingly deep into the history and creation of the game. After wading through all of this material you come away with a much better understanding of and appreciation for the game than you did going in.

It might only be a single game, and that game might only be a single hour’s play long, but people who have a genuine love for the history of video games owe it to themselves to pick this up. Trip World DX works as a museum exhibit and charming little curiosity, and there are far worse things to do for an hour than this.
