radiofloyd Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I wonder why it’s been described as a sequel to the first two Monkey Island games. Weren’t Curse and Escape sequels too? Although it’s been years since I’ve played them.  Anyway, I’m very happy to hear about this. Loved Thimbleweed Park, so they have a good recent track record.

radiofloyd Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Ah, this article explains it a little.  https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/a-new-monkey-island-2-sequel-is-coming-from-ron-gilbert  So Ron Gilbert was not involved in making The Curse of Monkey Island and this is basically the sequel he would have made instead.

radiofloyd Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Worth a read for some of Gilbert’s thoughts about the game and fan expectations.  https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/monkey-island-creator-is-seriously-pissed-off-at-people-telling-him-how-to-make-a-new-monkey-island/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craymen Edge Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Can't say I love the art style right now, but maybe it'll grow on me. Looking forward to seeing more of the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Only Switch and PC at launch is a bit of a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I’m glad to see this is selling so well on the Switch, currently number 3 in the all games charts and number 2 in the downloads only charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Tufnell Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Is this download only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Yeah @Nigel Tufnell  I assume Limited Run or someone will do a physical release at some point but I can't see one on the horizon for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Now number 2 on the Switch eShop, outselling Splatoon 3 (only on the eshop of course). I don’t know how that compares to Steam but to put it into perspective, Tunic is only number 24 on the digital charts and Shovel Knight Dig only number 27. So it’s no mean feat.
