#Blog Wonder Boy/Monster World Complete Collection!

 Here's something new, the "Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection" which basically contains every single entry in the WB/Monster World series, not counting for modern entries or remakes. Only really missing the Adventure Island Wonder Boy 1-inspired subseries, but the owners of that series are Hudson Soft, so I'm guessing the rights lie at Konami nowadays.

Anyways, made a little tribute video to show the goodies as well as my own collection of Wonder Boy / Monster World games:

#Blog Asha In Monster World!

 

So today I finally received it... Asha in Monster World!

The remake/expanded/new take on Monster World IV!
The game is awesome, it comes with the original title (in fact the manual covers both versions of Asha's adventure)! The original is perfect as always - fans of Shantae check out the title/series that inspired Wayforward's series. The new game kinda reminds me of the Tomba! series with the new 3D graphics and cartoony style.












 

And here's the new game along the original (on a repro card I got since the early 2000s).

Maybe I can showcase my entire Wonder Boy/Monster World collection one of these days, heh?

#Design - CustomCoverArt Switch Nefarious & Wonder Boy Returns

 Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

I redid a couple of Switch games covers, those few digital titles I had that didn't have proper physical releases (yet?). I kinda based these on the PC covert arts I did a while ago actually.

#SEGAnews Asha in Monster World trailer #2

There's a new trailer out for the latest Wonder Boy entry! You know, the retro classic series that just keeps on giving... (I need to post a pic of my WB/Monster World collection so far, with all the official entries and spiritual successors..)

 You know, the semi-sequel to Monster World IV, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World!

 And.. I gotta say, this new trailer is pretty darn good. I'm loving what I see. Much better than the older trailer. Looks fun, colorful, with lots of improvements:

 

With this and the new Alex Kidd, it certainly seems to confirm this GO SEGA 60th Anniversary-year

#SEGAnews Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World

And the best new announcement in recent age is....

 (Well.. since the new Alex Kidd, at least, for me..)

 The Wonder Boy/Monster World series has known a strange revival of sorts. With all sorts of spiritual sequels (Cursed Kingdom), specific sequels (Wonder Boy Returns) and revivals, with the original producers more or less on board (Dragon's Trap remake). And everything inbetween (Aggelos)

But really it was always the case with this strange Sega series and its offshoots at Hudson Soft (Adventure Island series, all the PC Engine adaptations..) 

And now it's the turn of Monster World 4 to receive an enhanced remake/direct sequel in the form of Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World.

 


All we know so far it's that it's coming spring 2021 on PS4 and Switch. It will enhance and expand on MW4 with 3D visuals, new voice acting, modes and more. And it is the closes to an actual new installement, since this one will be coming from Westone, with the reutrn of Shinichi Sakamoto on the music and Maki Ozora on the character designs.

And this just became one of the most anticipated new games in ages for me!

#Design - CustomCoverArt PC Wonder Boy Returns

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

What's going on with the Wonder Boy/Monster World/Adventure Island series? So many fan-produced spiritual sequels lately. While the fanmade titles seem pretty darn good, this officially licensed Wonder Boy sequel by small studio CFK is probably the cheapest... Nevertheless I still wanted to come up with a mockup cover art for this steam release, using the official material available on the website.

#Design - CustomCoverArt MS&MD Wonder Boy/Monster World series

Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

Recently I decided to revamp my entire Wonder Boy/Monster World game collection - the classic series that inspired Wayforward's Shantae series! - to sport the proper original titles (and get rid of the two different Wonder Boy 3 that way) as well as finally give boxes for a couple of my naked cartridges. I love the original artworks over the ugly stuff we got in the west, I even made a few alts for some.
