Not going to lie, seeing Claymates on this list was not expected...but I'll definitely accept it because i actually had fun with the game....though I could never get past the first world.
Already finished the demo. I definitely warmed up to the gameplay style. I will say, the brief loading time between battles (at least on PS4) definitely rubbed me the wrong way, and I hope that it changes.
If you plan on getting the game, I definitely recommend playing through the demo. Progress saves on it so you can just go through to the next in story event. SO less tutorial stuff.
Ive recently been playing COTM on portable, and ive really liked it. Ive tinkered a bit with Harmony of Dissonance...but i have to say the music in the game is not good. Though the game still plays well. I really hope we do get these games cause Id totally play it. Heck Id be happy if we got some of the DS games as well, and even Rebirth,...though I wouldn't be surprised if that were saved for a Konami Rebirth collection with Gradius and Contra Rebirth
Do it Nintendo or Terry Crews is goign to bust into the headquarters with a jet ski and start screaming about how you guys stink and need more Old Spice.
I think this list might be a bit better without the compilations...i mena thats bit cheap to put in....I also think that MM3 is better than MM2. I feel like MM2 refined the MM formula, but MM3 perfected it and added in some cool things like the slide and the first appearance of Protoman
@TDRsuperstar2 currently there are two wonder boy games on switch in addition to Monster Boy. Wonder Boy Returns is a remake of the first game and is more of a platformer. But Wonder Boy 3 Dragons Trap is similar to Monster Boy
I wouldn't sell them short. Monster Land, Dragon's Trap, Wonder boy in Monster World and Monster World IV are more akin to Monster Boy. They have flaws but are pretty good. Definitely give them a look.
This series is very dear to me so sorry if im sounding a bit biased.
@TDRsuperstar2 so the series started off as Wonder Boy, but eventually changed into the Monster World series with more focus on action. So when they brought the series back as Monster Boy it was because they didn't have the rights to the Wonder Boy name, thus we got the combination of Monster World and Wonder Boy into Monster Boy.
The original game on genesis was called Monster World IV since it was the fourth game in the monster world series (The order is Monster Land, Dragons Trap, Wonder Boy in Monster World, and Monster World IV).
Phantasy Star was a loveletter to the game. They did such a great job with the QoL fixes and stuff like that. I always recommend people play this version of the game.
Honestly all of the TechnoSoft games were given some great love. Thunder Force IV had some great extras and ThunderForce AC was really good too. And then Herzog Zwei was a great port too considering how hard the game is to find.
Virtua Racing was so cool playing on one screen with 8 players. I just wish i had 8 people to play with.
@Maximums4083 I think i will check it out. The original game, while not perfect, really had a great style and was fun. From what I've seen the second is even better.
The European one is the best imo. The American one looks like Inigo Montoya grew out his hair and took out his frustration out on soccer after losing to Dread Pirate Roberts.
You know, when i popped in the title on my switch, part of me thought "Well, what about the NES version?" heck, i still have the Wii version (the lazy port). BUt...idk, part of me feels like i want to just go and play most of the NES versions. Like, SMB3 on NES feels right to me. I prefer the 8-bit music over the 16-bit soundtrack.
I'll definitely play SMB2 on the SNES though because of all the changes.
At the moment im nto worried because it is still in development. But ngl, im disappointed that this wasn't a new game like had originally been discusssed.
Also, Im surprised they skipped porting Wonder Boy in Monster World. Classic Wonderboy, Wonder Boy III got remakes (and in a sense we got Monster Land in an AGES release). That one is my favorite in the series.
When i heard this announcement, it made me realize how much i love the WonderBoy series. Ive been playing it since Master System, and have loved practically all of the games (...well Dragon's Lair i can live without). So, I was super excited hearing that theres a new game with Asha. I really hope it delivers, but considering the passion the original team has for this series, I feel like it'll deliver.
My favorites so far are Phantasy Star, Lightening Force, and OutRun.
Someday I do hope we get GOlden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, maybe Star Wars Arcade (90s or Special Edition), and maybe the Virtua Cop games. Id also like to see a good version of Outrunners considering the Genesis version wasn't that good.
