Wanderers From Ys, also known as Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, is now available globally on the Nintendo Switch eShop. The game is currently priced at $6.49 and runs via the EGGCONSOLE emulation system owned by publisher D4 Enterprise.
Originally released in 1989 for the PC-8801 and PC-9801, Wanderers from Ys would later receive ports to several consoles like the SNES and Genesis as well as a Playstation 2 Remake. It would also be reimagined as 2005’s Ys: The Oath in Felghana which is currently available on Steam.
The game itself is a fairly direct sequel to the previous Ys games, and features Adol and Dogi returning to save the latter’s home town of Felghana. The perspective has switched from the previous games nearly-top down view to a side-scrolling one, and is compatible with the Switch Pro Controller and Handheld mode.
