Wonderboy in Monster World reviews (Arcade and MD)

Hello this is a review taken from my most recent IGVS. I think it sums up how I feel about the games and about this wonderful series.

Oh and btw the MD game I reviewed was only released 3 years after not seven.

You try playing both games. They share the same plot and even have some of the same levels. Try the coin trick above the first witch's/mystic's house and it still works.

All you have to do is a wikipedia search on Wonderboy. The arcade version you reviewed was released on the Genesis with significant graphical and gameplay changes, under the exact same name as the arcade title, Wonderboy III: Monster Lair. Then, Wonderboy in Monster World came out after, that's why there was a 7 year disparity in releases.

Wiki is your firend in it? After all you mistook the arcade version for the first wonderboy game so don't try to correct me.

the MD version is my favirote game!

These two games are similar in some ways but they are not the same. The Genesis game is called "Wonder Boy V Monster World III" in Japan.

1) "Wonder Boy" = 1st Wonder Boy = not a Monster World game

2) "In Monster Land" (the 1st in this vid) = 2nd WB = 1st Monster World

3) "III: Monster Lair" = 3rd WB = not a MW game

4) "III: The Dragon's Trap" = 4th WB = 2nd MW

5) "In Monster World" (the 2nd in this vid) = 5th WB = 3rd MW

6) "Monster World IV" (Japan-exclusive) = 4th MW = not a WB game

WB 5 MW 3 is most likely a retelling of WB in ML. I mean look, They same stuff happens at the same time at the same place. Think about it. See a resemblance of ML Round 2 & MW 3's Alsedo? What about how it begins? Or maybe how the how you fight a knight after completing Alsedo? See.... Just how i.e. Metroid Zero Mission is a retelling of Metroid or Irregular Hunter X is a retelling of Rockman X, Wonder Boy V Monster World III is essentially a retelling of Wonder Boy in Monster Land.

Hate to burst your bubble, but how is the megadrive version a port of the arcade just been remade? Ill explain this is monster world, the arcade game was monsterland, two very different games, the arcade monster land had a port with the same name on the master system also called wonderboy 2, then wonderboy 3 came out on master system aswell which is one my fav sega games and it was a full rpg adventure, nothing like monsterland, and this is wonderboy 4 another rpg and a completely different game
