There are timeless games. Those that are remembered no matter how much time passes and that, at best, marked an entire generation or even several. But there are also games in perpetual development, and at the top of the list we found KeaneOf course, we are talking in the past tense, and this after 22 years without seeing the light of the sunthis game It’s finally on the marketAlthough for Game Boy Advance.
Keane’s story is, to put it mildly, curious, almost as much as this achievement. In 2002, the group five Italians Under the name PMStudios, it appeared in local media with ambitions to become the first company in the country to develop a game for Nintendo’s popular handheld computer, the Game Boy Advance. No previous experience in the creation of video games and with limited resourcesthis team was driven by a love for our industry and a huge desire to escape the work routine. However, nothing prepared them for what they experienced.
Kin is a platformer with RPG elements, it turned into a nightmare. For two years, the team worked tirelessly, through long and grueling nights, to complete the development of a game that seemed to be reluctant to be released to the market. After some time, All team members except game designer Fabio Belsanti left the project.
Despite this massive release, Belsanti never lost hope and, in fact, managed to complete the game many years ago, but although several publishers showed interest, market analysis showed that it was it’s too risky to support such a launch for Game Boy Advance. And as you can imagine, without access to the internet or even a platform to sell digitally, Kien needed produce good list Physical cartridges for salea huge risk for any team.
Keane now holds the unfortunate record for the most delayed video game in history, even surpassing Duke Nukem Forever’s 15-year delay, but with its release it opened the door for it to one day be broken. But What is Kien? As we already mentioned, we are talking about an action platformer in which we can choose two main characters: a warrior and a priestess, each of whom has unique abilities and difficult enemies, like in the primitive Dark Souls.
A game inspired by the stories of the Italian Renaissance and classic action games such as Turrican, with classic good vs evil story which will take us through a fantastic universe throughout 23 levels And about fifteen hours of play. A console game that has already completed its cycle more than 10 years ago, but for Belsanti it is “an incredibly magical experience“Seeing Kien come to life on the same platform it was designed for is a dream come true,” The Guardian reports.
A good list of extras and attractive aspects of the game, which you can already buy for $59.99 in a version with a transparent gray cartridge, cartridge protection, exclusive stickers and something that we can only dream of today: management. Who would have told you that in 2024 you could get a game for Game Boy Advance?
