Shadow drop releases are sometimes the impactful surprises out there. Four days ago, a classic favourite landed on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection was announced for Nintendo Switch last year.
The collection includes Bill & Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure from the NES and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Portable Adventure from the Game Boy. Limited Run Games will also be releasing physical bundled games with special collector’s goods.
Here are some descriptions of both titles from Nintendo’s official website:
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Video Game Adventure
History has been all screwed up and only the San Dimas Duo can set things straight. Awesome responsibility, man. Ride the Power Phone Booth to six different worlds. Galactic, man. Search for famous Historical Dudes through space and time. Most Cosmic.
Talk with the likes of Julius Caesar (he invented Caesar salad) and Napolean (the short, dead dude). Send them back in time or you’ll miss the Wyld Stallyns concert- starring you! Heavy.
Its a bodacious, mind-boggling role-playing adventure. And your only chance to save the world and earn the respect you deserve. No way – yes way!
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Portable Adventure
A world without our most excellent compatriots Bill and Ted? No way! Yes way – if the Grim Reaper and the evil Bill and Ted robots get their way! DeNomolos wants to totally change the future, and the only way to stop this most heinous dude is to travel though the “circuits of time” and collect the stolen time fragments! 10 adventures – 50 quests.
But watch out! Historical dudes like Billy the Kid are tumblin’ with killer tumbleweeds while the Executioner has an axe to grind with you. Napoleon has a “short” temper and even Granny S. Preston Esquire tries to bag you. Most Bogus!
Time is running out…so be excellent to each other and party on dudes!”
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Retro Collection is available on the Nintendo eShop now for £8.69.
