Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX revives the classic Sega character

Long before Sonic, Alex Kidd was Sega’s mascot. But he hasn’t had a new game since 1990. That is finally going to change.

Independent publisher Merge Games announced Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX during IGN’s Summer of Gaming event today. This is a remake of the first entry in the Alex Kidd franchise, which debuted in 1986 for the Sega Master system. It is going to come out for PC along with “Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation consoles,” according to IGN. Presumably, that means Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
