I love the art in the OP of all of the different forms playing on Switch. The game has such a fantastic art style.

Congrats to the team. I wonder if the success means more classic remakes are a possibility.

It's first in Italy too and it's well deserved, best sp game on the system after Zelda.

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

The master system version is sort of irrelevant with the new version though with the retro options.. outside of someone wanting to play a 100% emulated version. I don't think you can even switch between FM and PSG on the virtual console version.

Dragon's Curse is a solid buy though. Amazing soundtrack and worthy visual upgrade.

Looking at the gif in this thread, I keep forgetting how much I lose sight of how amazing the artwork is while I'm playing. An actual hand drawn animated cartoon brought to life. Amazing!!

"Snake Pass mania"?? Oh dear... You poor Switch owners. Don't worry, you have a cool system that is selling well, you will get better games to play soon.

Yeah it's a real shame, if only it launched with one of the greatest games of all time.

Congrats to the devs. Well deserved!

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.

Interesting. Thank you. Wasn't this just as bad, or worse, on N64, though?

Wonderboy is reminding me of Shantae a lot.

I'm really happy it's selling, the team totally deserves it.

I'd love them to remake Wonder Boy in Monster World next, really liked that one as well back in the day.

Graceful Exploding Machine should be way higher IMO.
I put more than 25hrs into it, it's better then Resogun as far as I'm concerned... right there on top with Geometry Wars.

Wonderboy inspired games like Shantae.
