So join us today as we bring you all of the information we have on hand. That being said, please enjoy Trip World DX: Everything We Know.

What is Trip World DX?

Well, to start off with, an excellent question for players to ask is, what exactly is Trip World DX? Well, for those more well-versed in classic gaming, the answer to this question is simple. For newcomers to the franchise, however, this can be rather difficult to answer for players who are interested in this incredibly charming platformer. There is already quite a bit of information out about the game itself.

Trip World DX is a platformer in which players will play as Yakopoo. Who is a peaceful character who quickly has his world, Trip World threatened. Obviously, this simply cannot do, and the player must do their best to help out the game's main character in order to set things right. Additionally, players will be able to take advantage of Yakopoo's ability to transform, which is sure to aid in the game's gameplay. All in all, this delightful platformer hopes to be a welcome trip down memory lane for some and a brave new introduction to the game for others.

Story

Firstly, this game's story is at the heart of what makes it so nostalgic and charming. Additionally, this game definitely has more going on than what appears on the surface. As a member of the Shabubu race, Yakopoo has the ability to transform, which they will use in combat within the game in order to defeat their enemies. This adds quite an interesting element to the game. Finally, much like in other works of fiction, players will have to make their way toward a mountain and go on a perilous quest to succeed.

Players will have to make the long journey to Mount Dubious. This mountain holds the key to major events in the game, and players will have to get there in order to progress the game's plot. This is where a famous flower from the game's lore comes into play. Yakopoo's grandfather is a guardian of this flower, which is said to have supernatural properties. As things go, this flower quickly comes under attack, and conversely, so does Yakopoo's grandfather. This serves as the main motivating action for the player making their way through the game.

Gameplay

The gameplay for this title is exceptionally charming. Featuring a fully realized world with in-depth lore, this game has a surprising amount of content to offer even newer players. In addition, the environments in the game vary well enough to make the gameplay itself stand out truly. There is also an incentive for the player to explore, as there are hidden locations within each level which not only give that extra level of intrigue but also can be quite rewarding.

The bulk of the game's gameplay will consist of Yakopoo transforming to defeat their enemies. This is a tried and true system that is certainly more than serviceable here. The levels in the game are usually capped off by bosses, which allows for quite a bit of gameplay variety as well. At the same time, the game's difficulty can be forgiven. It should be noted here that the player has a surprisingly low amount of health to speak of.

Additionally, the game does a fantastic job of conveying, with very little visual information, a living world. This is exceedingly impressive, so with the addition of color, these landscapes should pop even more on players' screens. Added to this is the amount of effort that went into creating a thriving world in the game. Again, we see lovingly recreated within Trip World DX. So if you are someone who has an interest in this type of gameplay or simply wants to see a beautiful vision come to life and be modernized, this is a great time to be a Trip World fan.

Development

The development behind Trip World DX is truly a heartwarming undertaking. This is a game that is lovingly being recreated, with consultation from the game's original creators at Sunsoft. This hand-in-hand development alongside the original creators headed by Limited Run Games is wonderful to see. You can truly see that this is a passion project for them, and they simply want more people to play a game that they all love. This is truly heartwarming to see, and it seems to indicate bright things for the game's future.

 Trailer

Now the initial thing that pops out to the player upon viewing this game's trailer is the beautiful colorization that has been applied to the game. This remarkable reimagining makes the game appear so vibrant and alive. Considering that the game's original developers would have loved to see their game in color. It is incredibly great to see this dream realized. So we cannot wait to see what comes of this title. While there is no direct trailer for the game, there is full coverage of the game by Limited Run Games.

Release Date & Platforms

Now we have come to the final section of this article. Trip World DX is remarkable from a platforms standpoint, as it is also being released for the Game Boy Color. This is great and truly pays homage to the game's humble beginnings. In addition, the game will be released on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. The release date for this title is a bit of a mystery, however. While players will be able to preorder the game on multiple platforms starting on April 28th, 2023, and are open until June 11th.
