The recent Evercade Showcase event unveiled a couple of dual-title carts. One of these, Goodboy Galaxy/Witch n’ Wiz features a pair of indie games released originally for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo Entertainment System.
Here’s the official blurb for the collection:
The Goodboy Galaxy/Witch n’ Wiz dual cartridge for Evercade features two grand adventures to enjoy on your Evercade systems. In Goodboy Galaxy, you’ll take to the stars as Maxwell the dog as you seek to repair his broken hyperdrive. And in Witch n’ Wiz, you’ll tackle devious puzzles on a quest to save your childhood friend from a magical fate!
But what of the games themselves?
Witch n’ Wiz
In Witch n’ Wiz, an 8-bit puzzle adventure for Evercade, you’ll delve into perilous dungeons in search of your childhood friend. Brains rather than brawn will save the day on this adventure, though!
Initially released in 2022 and available as a physical release for a limited time, Witch n’ Wiz features modern gaming elements like rewind, as well as evolving gameplay that develops every few levels.
Find out more about this game on the Witch n’ Wiz homepage.
