ToeJam & Earl is very near and dear to our hearts here at Mega Visions. It was the very first cover we created for Mega Visions magazine. I have it hanging right in front of me on my office wall! We also had numerous, wonderful conversations with series creator Greg Johnson.
Back in January, Johnson and HumaNature Studios released a major update to Back in the Groove. The beta and whole process was long and strenuous, but definitely paid off. Here was their official update recap:
NEW BIGGER Fixed World Maps!
Find the Hidden Power Hats!
Smarter and less frustrating Earthlings!
Funky Secret Present Synergies?!
Nintendo fans were left out of the cold, until now. ToeJam & Earl‘s official Twitter teased it the other day, saying this:
Today, this update is finally live on the Nintendo Switch port. To celebrate, you can get the original game for only $4.79! We’re not sure how long the sale lasts, but it’s better to take advantage of it now.
You can check out the full patch notes here. A brand-spankin’ new trailer also got released to mark the occasion. You can check it out above, in all of its 4K glory.
