You can't save in Dragon's trap. I have that one, and twice lost my place because I accidently turned the wii off instead of using the Home button like I always do. At least in Dragon's Curse, you don't have to worry about that. Dragon's Curse also has better graphics, and the music is fine. There's hardly any difference between the two soundtracks in Dragon's Trap.

Yeah, if you can't remember to go back to the Wii menu, or don't write down the password sometimes then it's your own fault. Dragon's Curse is more confident in that regard. But a password is more secure than data that can be erased/corrupted. Also you can replay with older passwords or have the ability to cheat with super passwords. ;)
The graphics aren't really better. They're the same, just for two different systems. Like Street Fighter on SNES and Street Fighter on MD.

The only arcades are Wonderboy II (already available) and Monster´s Lair? I hope they launch Monster´s Lair Arcade soon. Are there another arcades in this saga?

I never thought I'd see somebody insane enough to defend passwords, yet somehow I'm not surprised at all to find that person to be you, SKTs. :P

If it's insane to like having more options/features in a great game then I'm fine with that.
Maybe it's sane to pay a buck more for a clone with less options, but that's your opinion.

As you can see in post #60 there are three Arcade Wonder Boy games.

Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy II (in Monster Land) which is available on VC now, and Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair.

Wonder Boy on Master System is a very faithful port, but if you can wait, the arcade version could be released on VC.

Same for Monster Lair. The MD version is missing some levels, and the TG version is missing the Wonder Boy license. I have the MD version but I wait for the arcade version.

Well, pretty sure both versions have passwords (I'm pretty sure Dragon's Curse has a save feature, but I think they still included a password feature because backup memory was a separate accessory on the TG16. I know in Japan there was a backup accessory known as Tennokoe Bank, but I don't know if it was available on its own in the US or only as part of the CD drive. If that latter was true, it would definitely explain the inclusion of both save options.).

Well I it looks like fans of the Virtual Console have to pay higher prices to play these classics. Super Hang-On, Monster World IV and Monster Land are now on the PSN for $4.99. Thanks for overcharging Nintendo and Sega

Well, I don't think the Wii is a disappointment and I think it has more to do with their set pricing structure for the Virtual Console.
