Back in the late 80′s and early 90’s, game companies were desperately trying to find a mascot that would keep us glued to the arcade machines and home consoles, no stone was left unturned to bring the cute and weird to gamers around the globe. Psycho foxes, crude dudes and battling toads all had a go but who would have thought from such a simple beginning a prehistoric boy would flourish into one of the best games of that generation, Wonder Boy in Monsterland; but that tale is for another day, as today I want SEGA to bring back the original, Wonder Boy.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
Yes x infinite.
They must bring Wonder boy back but only if it is side scrole platform.
Wonderboy was developed by Westone Bit Entertainment and published by Sega. Wonderboy was a Sega icon and was on fire. Peaking with Wonderboy III, one of the best action rpgs of all time where a 3d remake is easily seen in that series. There was a wonderboy game after that, and it was in japanese only. The star was a girl. A translated rom/patch is available.
Might as well throw New Zealand story in with this too, ahh the memories
