How do you feel about the next Wonder Boy?
I think it looks really cute, but I've never played any of these games before.
Should I?
There's a new one???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibKf66tVoFw
there's a first one?
>>339719446
I am looking forward to it.
I think Wonderboy beats Rory tbqh, his style is memey but hard-hitting and I think him working takedown defense with Chris "My Boy" Weidman will be enough to defend anything Rory might threaten him with
>>339719506
Play 3 or 4
They are fun platformer/rpg hybrids
>>339719506
no
Looks good, what is it for?
So does Sega no longer have the rights to Wonder Boy?
>>339719547
>>339719789
this looks so damn good, seems a french comics mixed with the original japanese character design
Holy shit this looks great
>>339721449
Well the studio is French so it makes sense
>>339719547
This game looks freaking amazing! I actually find myself getting really excited for a new game for a change.
What a comfy feeling I get from this trailer, like I can sit back light up and play forever.
>>339719506

Play MW4.
>>339722252
That artwork really reminds me of Popful Mail (another gem with similar gameplay you should check out).
How can american and japanese even compete?
>>339719547
holy shit

>Wonder Boy 3: Monster World 2: Dragon's Trap
It's this series another Dark Forces 4 Jedi Knight 3 Jedi Outcast 2 Jedi Academy situation?
As long as it's not furry bait.
>>339723509
Yup. There's fucking TWO Wonder Boy 3s. The final game is just called Monster World 4.
>>339723509
yes
S H E E E I I T
>>339719446
Oh there's a remake of the orginal Dragon's Trap? I played the shit out of the Master System version when I was a kid. It looks cute.
pixelartfags btfo
Wait, there is another new Wonder Boy?
What is this then?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjg1s6A6VJ8
>>339725273
another game.
So yeah, 2 monster boys games coming.
>>339719946
Seems like Sega is licensing the trademark, the same situation as Shenmue 3
>>339719446
The nostalgia I have for Wonder Boy and Dragons Trap in particular is mighty
>>339719446
What is the secret of his power?
>>339719446
What platform?
>>339726392
Pc and some consoles.
Looks neat.
>>339719547
I NEED THIS NOW
>>339723107
i want this game
>>339723107
It's simple.
They can't.
>>339719564
>>339719506
Wonderboy 1 = Adventure Island clone, not amazing
Wonderboy in Monster land, linear platformer with rpg elements, quite good.
Wonderboy 3: The Dragons Trap, Metroidvania platformer which is pretty good, despite the annoying collision detection/hit animation.
Wonderboy 3 (Megadrive) Followup to Wonderboy 1 but with an added shootem up. It's weird.
Wonderboy in Monster World (Megadrive): probably the best in the series in terms of polish, builds on WB3 but without the monster forms.
Wonderboy IV less of a metroidvania than 3 or MW but some like it the most.
>>339728595
what is this?!!?!?!?!!?!???!
But will it have
JA JUNK JA JUNK JA JUNK
What is this a remake of dragons trap?
The next true sequel for wonderboy is monsterboy and the cursed kingdom and it looks great.
Either way its a good year to be a wonderboy fan
>There are TWO Monster World games coming soon
What a time to be alive
>>339728740
The first megadrive monsterworld is the best in the series. Dragons trap was decent but repetitive.
The monsterworld with the girl was pretty disappointing imo, the changes in equipment made no difference to appearance which really triggers my autism. The gameplay felt repetitive and it lost a lot of the exploration. Music was too notch though
>>339728823
Looks like Dofus
>>339728823
Dofus the movie.
>>339729603
>>339731258
>>339726221
came looking for this
look so fucking good
>>339726221
he gets a curse that makes him half dragon.
>"Eww it looks like a flash animation"
God fucking dammit. No wonder no one bothers to put the effort in and 2D games are all shitty mixel art.
Just because something has very clean line work, simple flat colours and is smoothly animated, it doesn't make it Vector/Tweening animation.
Heck you can see the linework and shading in 1080p, this has been hand animated.
>>339736820
same issue with Civ VI
>eww it look like Clash of Titans!
it's just cartoony, like Civ IV was.
Only slight shame is that it looks to be a totally faithful remake, still hoping that they add a bit more to the game so that players of the original get to experience some new stuff.
>>339728974
Monsterboy looks good too, has the original composer doing the music.
Anyone know which former members of West One are working on this game? They haven't given any specifics.
I loved Monster World IV but haven't gotten a chance to play the other games.
Hyped for this.
>Two new Wonder Boy games coming out
Is this real life?
>>339719446
Looks cool. Strikes the right balance between cute and mature.
The one you posted is a remake, OP.
Here's the real new Wonder Boy.
>>339734082
Really nice to see an European aesthetic for a change
>>339738446
The other games are well worth playing, Monster World and TDT are both classics.
Monster Land is fun but it is a linear arcade port and relies heavily on knowing a bunch of secrets to complete it.
>>339738782
>here's the real new Monster Boy
Fixed.
Looks good but it's a game that was a spiritual successor that got made more legit and had a reskin when one of the original creators came on board.
I'll probably buy both.
I've been waiting almost 20 fucking years for a new Wonder boy and 2 come in the same year...
>>339738782
>Aztec armored lion
Looks bitchin'
About the remake im pretty sure we will get more info this e3
This is my favorite game of all time
>>339738782
It looks like it might be a great game, but they can't match the other Frenchies on the art style department
>>339739437
It was Ryuichi Nishizawa, the original creator, who gave them his blessing into turning their game into a true successor. They even have Michiru Yamane working on the soundtrack.
Nishizawa's also behind this Dragon's Trap remake apparently.
>>339739874
I agree, but it's a new game while theirs is a remake. I'm excited for both.
Mônica mod when??
>>339740025
>The same creator overseeing 2 mostly identical projects at the same time.
Is it a good idea? Shouldnt he be worried about one project overshadowing the other?
the titlecard subheading's font is a e s t h e t i c
>>339740319
Dragons Trap is a remake and not a new game so it's probably not too difficult to oversee both.
>>339719547
I'd play that just for the style alone if the controls are tight and the gameplay ok.
>>339740025
I like the fact that one of the forms is the tavern pig.
Also, the music could be amazing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-tSgTxz6MQ
>>339728595
Neat.
The art style reminds me of Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
>>339741431
Looking at the pictures in that video... I think that game was on GameCenter CX or I played it sometime.
>>339719446
>>339740257
holy shit, all those feels
>>339741431
Yeah, that's definitely neat
I like how there's a bunch of japanese staff working on it like the aforementioned Yamane. Even their trailer music was japanese
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjg1s6A6VJ8
>it's a ouiaboo thread
Frenchfags are some of the most obnoxious people in world.
>>339741639
Probably have, the original game is a classic. It's less known in the US compared to the EU and Japan as it was a Master System (and PCE) title.
>>339741310
The game's great but tight controls aren't its strong point. Characters move like the floors slippery and the way you react to getting hit is a bit annoying.
How will the save system work? Obviously they won't do the password system.
WE5T ONEdon't pretend you don't know exactly what that does
>>339742126
>It's less known in the US compared to the EU and Japan as it was a Master System (and PCE) title.
I never played on a MS, but I own the Genesis collection on Steam, so I guess I must remember it from there.
>replayed Monster Land a couple of years back
>finally got to the final castle
>It's a bowser's castle style 'pick the correct route'
For a game with a really tight time limit that's utter bullshit.
>>339742272
You probably played the first Megadrive one.
Holy fuck that looks fun. What order do I play these games to get caught up with the series?
Elder God Tier:
Dragon's Trap
High Tier:
Monster World IV
Mid Tier:
Wonder Boy in Monster World
Low Tier:
Wonder Boy in Monster Land
Shit Tier:
Monster Lair
>>339728740
Adventure island was the clone if wonderboy
>>339742590
Yep, that's it.
WB 3 is also in that collection.
>>339742694
Order is irrelevant.
>>339742694
Play in this order:
Monster Land -> Dragon's Trap -> Monster World (Genesis) -> Monster World IV
>>339734082
>Lion on the beach
wut
>>339742694
Wonder Boy 3 (MS one)
Wonder Boy in Monster World (MD)
Wonder Boy IV (MD)
Are the best games in the series. If this is a faithful remake, you may want to skip WB3.
Monster Land is a fairly unique game that's an aqcuired taste but lots of people like it.
>>339743053
Better Lion on the beach than standin
SO this is a remake of the master system one?
Take my fucking money.
It looks too good to be true.
What is the catch? There is a catch somewhere obviously.
Windows 10? Consolefag only? Game only lasts 2 hours tops? Not being localized? Not coming out for another 7 years? NEVER actually releasing? Costs retail? Tainted with some sorta DLC?
What's the catch?
>>339725273
That is Wonder Boy, this is Monster Boy.
Both new games based on Dragons's Trap.
Both showing incredible promising gameplay.
Both making muh dick hard.
>>339743340
it will sell poorly and the franchise will be dead forever
>>339743340
It's 6-8 hours long which was incredibly long for a platformer back then.
>>339743440
Well that's a given. Not really a catch honestly.
>>339743531
>back then
Now is not back then.
>>339743358
I never played Wonder Boy but the two games really look good.
Is it possible that because the two devs are doing basically the same thing which motivates both of them to make a really good game?
>>339743440
West One went defunct recently didn't they? The series is very much in the last chance saloon.
That said, it hasn't had a new game in decades so 2 new games is more than you could have ever hoped for.
What next one?
Only one I played was the first on a green and black screen
>>339744065
There are two new Wonder boy games coming out:
Monster Boy and the cursed kingdom (original game ) was originally Flying Hamster 2 which was going to be kickstered but got pulled off when it was changed to Monster Boy.
Wonder Boy: The dragons trap was announced today and is a remake of Wonder Boy 3
>mouse turns.
>sword changes hands.
Dayum shame.
>>339743268
BADUM-TSSSHHHH~
>>339743776
The game was massively popular in countries where the Master System was the big 8bit console. It's a lot of people's favourite game from when they were kids.
>>339719446
I think this looks just perfect. And this is speaking someone whose first game they ever played was Wonder Boy in Monster Land on the Master System
>>339741431
that's so good. I liked the music so much when I was little that I made a tape of all the different levels.
Best WB to start with? I remember trying IV I believe years ago on a emulator.
Reminds me of Little Samson.
>>339734082

>>339746079
>That slightly faster tune
God it sucked being in PAL land...
>>339745317
I'd say IV is the definitive game in the series
>>339746601
Well, here's the version Japan got

Here's the PAL version (this happened a lot because of 50hz)
>>339719446
I really like this art style
it's a platformer I assume?
I bought a TG16 for this and the Ys games
>>339748234
Metroidvania (even though it predates SotN)
>>339749536
Oh neat as fuck
I love metroidvanias
