Worth the wait
Originally released in 1994, Monster World IV is the final game in the Wonder Boy series. It's a very well-liked game and another great entry in the franchise, but there was just one problem: it was never released outside Japan. Until now that is, because...

This game looks totally amazing. The vibrant colors and the art style remind me of DoReMi Fantasy on the SNES. And the original MD game has battery backed up memory + platforming and RPG elements. Yeah, this is exactly the kind of game that I like. I hope it comes to europe soon.

Every time I look at the screenshots of this game, the more I find it harder to believe that it REALLY is apart of the Wonder Boy series. I mean look at the game, you control a character that looks to me like a female genie instead of the kid with the blonde hair. I'm still looking forward to seeing how this game plays out tomorrow. Also, besides the fact that it's a Japanese import game that's making it's first appearance on Wii VC makes it all the more interesting.

I was expecting the worst when I got this game, thinking it was maybe nothing more than an over hyped Japanese game. Boy was I wrong. Even though it started out easier than expected, it soon became a joy to play and I don't regret my decision at all. A real gem.

@H_Hunter You posted that on the virtual console topic about this as well, and I have no idea what your motive is. Especially because you can't elaborate.
