the ports are definitely NOT perfect. the screens on monster world iii and iv are stretched by a few pixels to fill the screen a little bit more. which means if you choose "smooth filtering" on monster world iii or iv, which you need to do if you want the graphics to look accurate, the screen will look like shit. if you have the game you can see this for yourself. start up monster world iii. select smooth filtering and push select for the pause menu. then push the shoulder buttons to see it.
Now that is a serious and worthy collection! Not the 1000 Sonic that everyone already has. Come on SEGA gather your pieces and resurrect yourself! And not only release these wonderful gems in Japan but Europe and West as well!
@relicz1 Monsterworld is released as Wonderboy 2, MW2 as Wonderboy 3; both for the mastersystem. MW3 is released as Wonderboy 5 for the genesis.
MW4 and 6 (which is not in the video) were never released, but you can find fanmade translated ROM's on the web. The SEGA management were idiot's for not releasing those outside Japan.
The 16-bit version of Monsterworld for the arcade is also available in English.

Do I need to understand japanese to play them or is it only a platform game that requires no japanese skills?

Sega really needs to consider another Wonderboy/Monster World game after Sonic 4. Lush HD 2D graphics ..... yep thats the dream.
It would be of course a downloadable game on PSN, XBLA and Wii Shop.

@majinpowers No, it's missing the Western version of the SMS version ow Monster Land.
Also it doesn't contain every port either, only Sega console ones.
