If you're old school like us here at Pure Xbox, you may remember the classic Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the SEGA Master System. If not, you're in for a treat, as the classic platformer is getting a new coat of paint and heading to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on June 24.
Featuring all the classic levels fans have grown to know and love, brand new stages will also be packed in to extend the experience. The controls have been made tighter, and the visuals have also been updated to reflect a more modern aesthetic. On top of that there's also new modes, remastered music, and alternate boss fights for players to tackle.
Key Features
- A Legend Reborn – Dive into a stunning recreation of Alex Kidd in Miracle World with striking new art and tighter, more fluid controls.
- New Modes – New modes such including ‘Classic Mode’ and ‘Boss Rush Mode’ will be available for players alongside the standard game.
- New Levels – Experience new levels which expand the lore of the original and feature new enemy types and vehicles
- Alternative Boss Fights – New and improved boss fight mechanics with more intuitive combat.
- Classic Mode – Experience the original game with boss fights, dialogue, levels and functions the same as the original Master System version.
- New and Remastered Music – A wide array of reimagined music tracks as well as remastered tracks from the original classic game!
Hopefully the memories of the original we have retained are not tarnished with this new iteration. With a fantastic pantheon of platformers on Xbox, this could certainly join a roster of great titles. There's also an absolutely beautiful physical edition coming along which is inspired by the retro game. Looks pretty neat!
Let's see Alex Kidd come back with a bang!

@Beagle same here (well, it was preinstalled on our Master System). This may be my earliest gaming memory, keen to see how it is
I have so many fond memories of the original- the Master System was my first console after having a C64, being able to play games without having to get my dad to load a tape was ground breaking for us back then!
Dont know why but never really liked the Alex Kidd games. Maybe this update might change my mind on it as the originals really havent aged well.
Physical on Xbox, nice! 🙌🏼
Also, Blasphemous gets a physical edition. Let's go, Xbox! 💚
It looks better than I expected for a Master System remake, a bit like The Dragon's Trap, too.
I'm so looking forward to this one! Grew up with Alex Kidd, and I was super shocked when this got announced last year, and LOOKED SO NICE! This is up there with Monster Boy as one of the nicest, cleanest, most vibrant, most unironically cheerful art styles any indie sidescroller has sported in the past decade - it's such a great treatment to give Sega's OG mascot monkey boy. Can't wait for this one to come out.
I 'm really looking forward to this!! Played the original and it's been an all time favorite!
I was about 11 when played this first. Absolutely loved it! It was preinstalled on my neighbor's Master System II and we played the hell out of this game!
