CFK announced that a remake of the first Wonder Boy game will be coming to Steam this Fall. This HD remake will feature the very same gameplay but upgraded visuals. And to be honest, I’m not really a fan of the visuals/art style displayed here.
In Wonder Boy Returns, all characters including the hero, the heroine Tina, and various monsters had been re-designed from scratch. Not only that, but the game will also feature new stages.
In case you’re not familiar with Wonder Boy:
“First released as on Arcade machine, Wonder Boy is a fast paced side scrolling action arcade game. The hero, Boy is running hastily to save his girlfriend Tina, who had been held captive by the Dark King. The game had intuitive gameplay, and the face paced action side scroller game gained overwhelming popularity. It is a classic title that once dominated the gaming era. Due to its popularity, it also managed to be ported into many numerous consoles even to this date.”
Wonder Boy Returns is coming to Steam this Fall!

uuumm, why?
I guess it’s because it looks like a generic mobile game.
no it doesnt, it looks like a faithful update to a classic. guess you never played the original.
Most people seems to disagree.
Well, at least one person agrees with John since he got one upvote……..oh wait, that was John upvoting his own comment. lol
um, no it doesnt. it looks greatly drawn and fun.
I think the art style looks like badly drawn sprites upscaled far too much badly with a fast and cheap filter :/
I mean, look how much character the artwork from the other game at the start of the video has…
Honestly, the original looks much better.
Ah my PC won’t be able to handle this 🙁
so many wondeboy-esque games
This one seems to be the worst unfortunately.
Thanks for the Flash game?! Did these dev’s even PLAY the original?! Pull out a TurboGarfx 16 and load in the cart. Failed attempt.
