Balan Wonderworld (Patreon)

If there was an award for "most recent game released to receive a demake" I truly think Balan Wonderworld would be the victor! (But then it is something that can be ever changing mind you!)

Adding to the further name confusion I did indeed take the opportunity to call the Gameboy "port" of "sorts", Balan Wonderland! Not only a play on the Super Mario World and Super Mario Land name convention, but because hey, come on, who *hasn't* accidentally called Balan Wonderworld, Balan Wonderland?

But what IS Balan Wonderworld? Perhaps this "worst game of 2021" either flew over your radar or barreled right into your radar, setting off a major red alert making you avoid it completely.

Well, if you want the absolute creme de le creme coverage, I highly recommend Austin Eruptions video on it, found here! Even if you're somewhat familiar with the game Austin goes into such depth and brings up the games strong points whilst not dismissing the game’s obvious flaws. Cannot recommend the video enough and it's a good chunk of the reason why I wanted to demake Balan!

So if there is even a smidgen of a speck of a whisper of interest in Balan Wonderworld, maybe check it out. Or do what I did which is watch playthroughs and then listen to the entire OST on repeat whilst demaking it :D.
