Fantastic stuff, hope Monster World IV's been translated :D

I was thinking about this the other day. About March last year it was announced that Monster World IV would finally be getting a translation and heading to XBLA, then nothing. Glad to see its finally happening!
Only completed WB in monster World last year so im not sure if im ready to go through it again but finally playing MW IV is enough for me :D

I've got the PS2 Monster World Collection and it's really great, I hope it turns out as good on 360.

Most of the PS2 Sega Ages 2600 releases are worth picking up, they're not expensive either.

I'll end up picking this up as well. Never played any of these. The old Master System barely had a presence around here, so I missed out on all of it's games. I've heard of these before though.

Nope, just whatever was in the arcade/on the Mega Drive by the looks of it, unfortunately. Maybe they'll release Dragon's Trap separately at a lower, 400 point price if this does well.

Bugger.Have all the MD one's on emulation, no Dragon's Trap on any of my G.G emulators, had hoped it'd be on here.

It should be, because it's part of the Monster World series. I'll complain if any of these games aren't on it:
Super Wonder Boy: Monster World (Wonder Boy in Monster Land)
Monster World II: Dragon no Wana (Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap)
Wonder Boy V: Monster World III (Wonder Boy in Monster World)
Monster World IV

Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair would be nice bonuses, but those four should be in the collection.

EDIT: Apparently not, according to the article. Missing out Monster World II? That's bullshit.

Day one purchase for me. I have the one on the Mega Drive and it is so good! So getting three games should keep me busy until they finally decide to release Shenmue HD 1 and 2. I keep checking news sites for a release date and I'm getting withdraw symptoms now. Please just release them Sega so I can give you my money! :cry:

Why do I keep thinking Adventure Island when I think of Wonderboy. Having the original SMS game as a Adventure Island game, has thrown me all off. :?
