This is the same remake which Bandai Namco launched for Nintendo Switch and PC back in 2020, which in turn was a souped up version of the series’ 2002 Japan-only entry for GameCube. Not only does this remake provide easy access to a game which never originally reached Western shores, it also represents a polished version of what is generally regarded as the puzzle game series’ high watermark. Thankfully, this remake does not disappoint either: “An overdue but much appreciated remaster of one of the GameCube’s - and the early 00s - very best,” our Martin wrote in Eurogamer’s Mr. Driller Drill Land review. “The end result is a timeless melody that’s been underappreciated for far too long - and what a thrill it is to have this gem so widely available at last.”
