Three for Microids and Mr. Nutz Studio. After Toki and Asterix and Obelix in 2018! Slap them! Last year, Data East re-read the action/platformer released in arcades in 1991 and has since been ported to many consoles. When a gang of Neanderthals arrive at Joe and Mac Village to pillage and kidnap all the women of the tribe, it’s the start of a wacky and colorful adventure playing with Jurassic symbols.
So, pixel graphics gave way to the comic book style we’ve come to know about. As with the original game, there is of course always the possibility to defeat the dinosaurs cooperatively, whether in arcade mode, which is faithful to the conditions at the time, or in expansion mode, which requires more time to recalculate events. The game will also offer training, boss rush and speedrun modes.
New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja will release physical versions on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 in November 2022, and will only be available for download on Xbox and PC. Like the Microids, there will also be a limited edition, in this case two stickers, a notification card and a 3D key ring.
