Monster World

Like it so far, OP. Never played any of the MW games. They look fantastic. I'll give them a shot soon when I get some time.

Thank you so much for the dump, OP. One of my most favorite Mega Drive games ever.
I had a copy in 2000 and after finishing it 2 times traded it for Comix Zone. This decision was really stupid, and I used to regret about this decision for years and recently got myself another copy to make up for this mistake.
I didn't like Comix Zone by the way

So, any doujins?

>>3734934
So, there was some third character planned? And different companions? Or final transformations? And one of them was literally Pepe?

As a SNES baby, this is the game that really sold me on the Mega Drive. There's just something irresistibly charming about it.

>>3733306
Thanks OP MW4 has such beautiful art. Asha has cute pants.

Thanks for the dump OP.

Great fucking thread. Saved every pic. Cheers!

Heard IV is the best one. Should I start with it or the earlier ones? If I did start with IV do you think I would still enjoy the prior ones?

>>3738334
I try not to start with the newest one. Some prefer II, some III, some IV. The inherent polish of newer technology and more experience might hinder your ability to go back and fully enjoy its more primitive predecessors. I think they're all very good games. You should play the series from the beginning, but if you find yourself not enjoying one, or if you're feeling done with it, feel free to drop it and move on to the next. They're all really easy to emulate.
The order goes like this, I'll give you the best versions as well:
Wonder Boy (arcade)
Monster Land (arcade)
Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair (TurboGrafx-16, but arcade is also acceptable)
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (Sega Master System, turn FM sound on)
Wonder Boy in Monster World (Genesis)
Monster World IV (Genesis)

>>3738360
Thank you for listing "best" versions. I finally got myself a PC Engine and will play previous parts.
>>3738305
Please answer about third character and transformations. Any comments from developers or interviews on this material?

Alright.

PC Engine version runs at 60FPS instead of 30.

Thanks again. Now time for a silly question, where did you get all these amazing documents from?

The anniversary collection on PS2. I had to beat the whole of MWIV again just to get these images.

How's that collection? Worth playing if I have access to originals?
Any other extras?

It's got almost every version of every game, unless it's a re-skin that couldn't keep the WB/MW name due to the licensing agreement, like Adventure Island, and the TG16 versions of Monster Lair, Dragon's Trap, or Wonder Boy in Monster World. It's worth getting the ISO if you want to browse through the great art galleries, which includes clean scans of the manuals and individual pieces of artwork.

>It's worth getting the ISO if you want to browse through the great art galleries
That's what I'm going to do after playing through classic games.
Also, just wanted to point out that these toys/statues (and figure made for MWIV cover) look so good.

>>3741047
Make sure you look up and read the manual of the Dragon's Trap before playing that one

Thanks anon. Amazing art.
Why we can't have more games with this style? A open world Wonder Boy (open Monster World?) with current day tech and this style would be awesome.

The creator said he would like to make a 3D Monster World game, he has lots of ideas for it.

>>3742062
It's not open world, but Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a thing. Hopefully it turns out well and sells enough to continue the series.

>>3742820
I want a true sequel, 3D gameplay with 3D graphics, cel-shaded to look like the old drawings, a true evolution of the series...

>>3742897
...while this one seems to be a rehash of the series.

In my head it has a bit more detail and more standard lighting, have it look kinda like the figures.
Cursed Kingdom does look like a rehash, yeah, but it looks fine if you just want more Wonder Boy III that's not such a bad thing.

>>3743069
>have it look kinda like the figures.
That would be cool too. I think an open world game would be the natural evolution of the series.

>>3743031
>3D gameplay with 3D graphics
Ugh, I'd rather have no game at all.

I would like a 3D Monster World if it was like somewhere between Monster World III and Monster World IV. Has there every been a 3D platformer-metroidvania type thing?

>>3743098
Metroid Prime. But it was in first person.

>>3743326
Has there ever been a third person action game like Metroid Prime? Maybe something with melee combat, like Monster World had?

>>3733306
Asha is a prime specimen.

>this metric fuckton of cut content
Holy guacamole, I want it.
I want a remake. Or a re-do. Completely start over designing the game and make it with all this cut content placed in, and in a more open world like its predecessor. Keep the Genesis sprites even, and keep making more new sprites with the same Genesis limitations. I would probably even prefer that.
Oh, but get a new composer that doesn't remake the same song over and over again as the OST.

That's the spirit Asha. If the world gives you shit, throw it right back at them.

>>3742820
Yeah, funny that he wants to do a new game, with new things and in 3D, while some fans just want rehashes and the same thing again and again.
