Goodboy Galaxy, an upcoming game for Game Boy Advance, Switch, and PC, has smashed its Kickstarter goal. Yes — you read that right — it's 2021, and a brand new game is coming to the 20-year-old GBA.
Goodboy Galaxy is an upcoming 2D exploration-based platformer. The developers describe it as, "kind of like Cave Story, or a cuter Metroid." It stars a dog astronaut named Maxwell (the titular "Goodboy"), as he explores the galaxy. The game was created by two friends who have a deep love for the Game Boy Advance.
The game isn't projected to launch until 2023, but the launch plans include a physical GBA version with the game cartridge, box, and manual that will fit right in with your Game Boy Advance collection.
Right now, there's a demo available that you can download, or try directly from your web browser. To avoid spoilers, the content in the demo will not be a part of the main game. You can check out the demo and all of the backer tiers on the official Goodboy Galaxy Kickstarter page.
In addition to this Kickstarter project, the GBA era is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. WarioWare, which got its start on GBA, has a new Switch entry coming out in September with WarioWare: Get It Together. And, tactics fans can look forward to the remake of Advance Wars 1+2, which is coming to Switch this December.
