Publisher Second Dimension is having one heck of a good year. The US-based company already saw a fantastic Kickstarter campaign for Affinity Sorrow reach their fully funded goal in February. This week, they released a couple of announcements regarding a few of their other titles.
Eyra, the Crow Maiden, another successfully funded game, will join the likes of Doodle World, Nessy the Robot and Yeah Yeah Beebiss II as part of a physical release from Premium Edition Games. The Classic Series for Nintendo Switch will include 10 games, all from retro indie developers. The project will be open for pre-order later this summer, with more details on the way.
Montezuma’s Revenge comes to consoles
Additionally, Second Dimension gave an update on the NES Montezuma’s Revenge Kickstarter campaign from developer Normal Distributions LLC. This version is in collaboration with the original designer, Rob Jaeger and contains all the content from the 1983 game. Published first for the Atari 800, it became a huge hit and was ported to the Apple II, ColecoVision and the SEGA Master System, among other consoles of its time. It recently hit mobile platforms, too. However, this will be the first time Montezuma’s Revenge will be available on the NES/Switch platforms.
So far, the campaign has reached over 2/3rd of their goal, with perks including physical cartridges of Montezuma’s Revenge. If they meet their 120% goal of $42,000 USD, the game will also be released as a digital title on the Nintendo Switch. Those interested in backing the project still have time. The campaign will end on May 26, 2022.
