The Mega Man-Esque Platformer 'Orebody' Is Coming To The NES

Even after thirty years, there are still new games launching for the Nintendo Entertainment System regularly, with Orebody: Binder's Tale being the latest example of that.

The run-and-gun platform shooter, about an orphaned battlebot named Binder, is getting a physical release courtesy of Premium Edition Games. This will likely be welcome news to NES collectors, but probably not so welcome news for their wallets.

The physical release comes in two editions, including the NES CIB Edition and a Limited Silver Edition, with the main difference between the two (as far as we can tell) being the colour of the cart and the price point.

While the NES CIB Edition costs roughly $59.95, the Silver Edition will cost an eye-watering $99.95, which likely be a bit too steep for some folks.

If that's the case for you, then you can always hold out for the itch.io digital release, which will eventually retail for around $9.99, or the Nintendo Switch edition, which also likely be cheaper. But if you're someone who wants to play the game on original hardware, you can find more details about what's included with the two NES editions below:

NES CIB Edition:
