Forward of the November 2022 launch, right here’s a little bit of gameplay from the remake

Sure online game sound results by no means fairly depart us, and I can safely say that the “smacking a caveman” noise from Joe & Mac 2: Misplaced within the Tropics remains to be residing in my head rent-free all these years later. It is probably not my favourite arcade-ish action-platformer collection, however I’ve obtained a mushy spot for it in a surprisingly deep sea of retro caveman video games.

As beforehand introduced, Joe & Mac is coming again this 12 months with a remake referred to as New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja — and right here’s a (ridiculously) fast take a look at it in motion.

This Information East revival is being developed by Mr. Nutz Studio and Microids, who additionally dealt with the Toki remake, and whereas the spruced-up new artwork shall be a tough promote for some, I’m comfortable to see this dinosaur-whacking duo again in motion; I’ll take what I can get!

After seeing this footage, I’m not any kind of “offered” on the remake’s clear new artwork than earlier than. It’s one thing I’ll possible get used to over time. It’s an adjustment.

Together with the unique arcade expertise, New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja can have a “longer model of the story mode” beneath an Prolonged banner. The remake can be bringing again two-player co-op and together with a speedrun mode, coaching, and even a boss rush.

Microids confirmed off the bodily T-Rex Version

The PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Change bodily copies of New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja include two sticker sheets, a retro buying and selling card, and a tyrannosaurus keychain.

The sport can be launching on Xbox Collection X/S and PC, albeit solely as a digital launch.

In all instances, New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja will launch in November 2022.

In the event you’re feeling nostalgic and also you’ve obtained a (primary) Nintendo Change On-line subscription, you possibly can revisit Joe & Mac and Joe & Mac 2 within the SNES library. I vastly favor the sequel, particularly after evaluating notes with Chris Moyse, however you do you.
