Is Balan Wonderworld Ready for Showtime?
I’ve spent all of the last few days trying to grapple with how I feel and what to say about
Balan Wonderworld, the new platformer coming from Square Enix and the legendary Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima, creators of Sonic the Hedgehog and Nights. This is the first game from their new studio, Balan Company, and the name alone makes it clear that they’re hoping for big things from
Balan Wonderworld. And from what I’ve played in their recent demo, I would say that despite being rough around the edges at times, the game does have a lot of potential…but considering the talent behind this game, the general public’s reactions to the demo, and the fact that it’s due out in less than two months, I’m not sure if it can afford to still feel rough.
