Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection is available now, and here, I’m playing it on a livestream on PS5, whilst chatting about the forthcoming Amico bankruptcy.
Note that the collection contains 6 games, with 21 variations, but for some reason, I could only find 4 games on this.
Synopsis: Featuring 21 versions of six of the most iconic Wonder Boy games ever released, this incredible compilation brings the influential platformer series to today’s hardware. Through the 1980s and 1990s the Wonder Boy series gained a vast cult following thanks to its distinct blend of energetic platforming, action-RPG elements, and even shoot ‘em up gameplay. And now you can enjoy a diverse spread of the Wonder Boy games that have left a powerful legacy throughout gaming, from the 1986 arcade original to 1994’s Monster World IV.
Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection brings the series up-to-date with precise ports for today’s hardware, and new features such as the ability to rewind your game at any moment.
Whether you’re a retro devotee wanting to catch up on this important piece of gaming history, a Wonder Boy fan looking to play your favourites on cutting edge hardware or are simply looking to experience the very best in nostalgic gameplay, the collection is about as essential as it gets.
