Sega's 1989 classic Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap is getting a fully-fledged remake for "consoles" and PC.
French developer Lizardcube is handling the remake - which eschews the number from the title - with DotEmu on publishing duties. Wonder Boy series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa will also be involved.
Lizardcube is a new studio, but it's made up of old talent as it was founded by coder Omar Cornut (Tearaway, Dreams, Pixeljunk Shooter) and former Dreamworks animator Ben Fiquet (Soul Bubbles, Powa).
In recent years, the Wonder Boy series has seen something of a resurgence.
"The Adventure Island and Wonder Boy series have a long shared history so let's explore both franchises and see which one's best." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Remember the Master System? Well, if you’re in the category to be old enough to, then you will surely remember Wonder Boy 3. Brace yourselves as it has now been remastered.
I am all in for this game. The more details that come out in the next few months the better.
I"d like that, please.
Yes, yes, and more YES! I spent so many hours playing this on the master system. I'll buy this in a heart beat
This looks great.
