- Narita Boy Review - 30 April 2021
https://www.cgmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Narita-Boy-Review.jpg If you follow CGMagazine, then you’ll know that I’ve stated many times that I dream of a TRON inspired future. In fact, you may not know this but TRON is actually my favourite movie of all time—immediately drawn to it by its impressive visuals, high concepts, and subtle political and religious allegory. Since then, any time I see something that resembles TRON , I need to see what it’s all about—it’s what drew me to the absolute piece of garbage: Master Reboot; and what has now drawn me to the frustratingly conflicting Nartia Boy . Narita Boy caught my eye, not only for its clear TRON inspiration, but it’s resemblance to another masterpiece of gaming: Blasphemous —one of the rare games CGM’s Brendan Quinn gave a 10/10 to, and for VERY good reason. After completing the game, I am left at a digital cross-roads: th…

- Пиксельный путь: Обзор Narita Boy - 13 April 2021
Проект от небольшой студии из Каталонии может и напоминает, на первый взгляд, легендарный “ Трон ”, но идет по собственному уникальному пути. В центре истории Narita Boy мальчик, который нашел игровую приставку и попал в центр цифровой вселенной. Теперь только от него и его героя Нариты зависит возвращение создателя игры в реальный мир и спасение шестнадцатеричной виртуальной реальности от опасного вируса. Избранник материнской платы должен посетить отдаленные города компьютерного пространства и восстановить воспоминания создателя, которые рассказывают пронзительную историю о жизни в послевоенной Японии. Впрочем, это путешествие куда больше, чем кажется.

- Microsoft lists 22 ID@Xbox games coming to Xbox Game Pass - 27 March 2021
Microsoft held an ID@Xbox showcase last night, and as part of it listed 22 games coming to Xbox Game Pass. Some of the games in the list below are already out on PC (Art of Rally, for example), and some we already knew were set to launch into Xbox Game Pass at launch (Narita Boy, for example). But there are 15 additions here, including the just-announced Nobody Saves the World, so it's well worth shining a light on what's coming down the content pipe. My personal highlights here are Art of Rally, which Martin had good things to say about in our review , 1980s-themed side-scroller Narita Boy, which I've had my eye on for some time now , and Stalker 2, which is doing interesting things with its teeth . Chris Tapsell previewed Drinkbox's Nobody Saves the World yesterday , saying it "has all the lurid zip and levity of Guacamelee, with an RPG twist". And Emma was positive about Recompile ,…

- Neo-retro side-scroller Narita Boy re-emerges with stunning new trailer - 3 February 2021
Narita Boy, the stunning 80s-themed "radical action-adventure" from Studio Koba, has resurfaced once more, this time with a perfectly pitched new trailer and a "spring 2021" launch window - the closest thing we've had to a release date so far. "Flashback to the 80s," exclaims Studio Koba in a bout of scene-setting on Steam . "The Creator, a genius of his time, creates a video game console called Narita One with its flagship title being a game called Narita Boy. Meanwhile, inside the binary code, the digital realm connects with reality. Him has returned and deleted The Creator's memories. Supervisor program, Motherboard, and her agents have activated the Narita Boy protocol." What follows is a side-scrolling, dimension-hopping adventure that pits players - armed with the mythical Techno-Sword, capable of transforming into a shotgun (and also a laser beam) - against "corrupted enemies and…
