Wonder Boy now #1 on the NA eShop (and everywhere else?) first to beat Snipperclips!
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
GEM topped out at #3 I believe, behind Snipperclips and I think it was Shovel Knight at the time. But the devs say they're pleased with how it did.

Nice to see PPT so high despite having a physical release.
Mario Kart has a strong retail presence though, so that might take some of the edge off.
In a couple weeks I expect Minecraft to start dominating for a long time.
It only recently came out too so it can only go up from here.
like seven levels in before i realized i got tricked into buying a boring as hell rare game with 1000 gooblydooblys to collect that do absolutely nothing
Not being a co op exclusive game with a poor selection of control options and zero online co op
It's ~70 on metacritic so it's bad, right?
Core gameplay is fun, and the performance/stability patch is coming in two weeks.

Absolutely deserved. The gameplay might be a bit dated, but the remake visuals and sounds improve the experience to incredible degrees (even simple generic treasure, 'return' and transformation rooms that were previously just a collection of blocks and a bare background are fleshed out with gorgeous abstract visuals). The old visuals just seem so bare-bones, shallow and dated compared to the sheer amount of love and detail Lizardcube put into the remake.

They already have dozens of Neo Geo games to play they've had lots of great games to play for some time now.

Uhm Snake Pass is fucking awesome dude! And Im playing on a PS4!
Huh, I wouldn't have guessed. If any retro remake was going to top the list, I would have expected it to be Blaster Master Zero, what with the day 1 release buff. (Also, because Blaster Master Zero is a fantastic game.)
Nice to see Puyo Puyo Tetris up there, too. Hopefully that one has the legs to make it to the top at some point, it deserves it.

Someone's salty LOL
OT: Wonderboy was no. 1 in the Netherlands as of 7.30 this morning, pretty sure MK8D will have overtaken it by now, though. It had shot up to number 2 as of 7.30AM, ie before the day actually started lol!

This is the most amazing game ever. I'm downloading this asap.

No surprise. Game is great, developer is French, Master System was extremely successful in Europe.

Glad it's doing well, it just looks superb.
Probably the first game I'll buy whenever I get my Switch since I already own Zelda on Wii U.
MASTER SYSTEM REPRESENT!
Now please give the Illusion games some love. Land of Illusion especially.

The Sega Master System and TurboGrafx-16 versions are both on Wii Virtual Console.

Noticed it was #1 on my (Belgian) store too. Surprising, and so very deserved. I finished it yesterday and I loved it. Aside from maybe playing entire levels again when you die at a boss, we're pretty spoiled nowadays when it comes to that.
Pretty impressed by this game's design btw. It's untouched from the original (afaik?) and that definitely aged well.
Very easy game to recommend too, since it looks absolutely glorious. There's a huge art gallery as an extra and it's a joy to scroll through that.

If it was by revenue, then Kamiko would have had to sell a lot of units to get to number 2 on the eShop in Japan and that is a 500 yen game.
It is currently number 3 because Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just charted at number one.

Fully deserved. I loved every minute of this game, and as a Master System kid the great reception it's received feels like sweet validation.
Also, Wonder Boy's physics are no worse than the original Super Mario Bros. If you can tolerate early NES platformers then Wonder Boy will be a treat because it adds multiple layers of complexity on top of that fun (if simple) platformer base.

Thanks, makes sense why Mr Shifty passed Snipperclips in the UK for a while.
As a fellow fan of 2D platformers, forgive me if I'm just out of the loop, but how did Sony kill them?

They mandated early PS1 games must be in 3D or else they wouldn't allow release on there platform. It almost caused Mega Man 8 to be a Sega Saturn exclusive.
That's because it's literally a reskin (albeit gorgeous one) of an old master system / turbo Grafx game.

Just look at the US: physical 900k, digital 25k.
