CFK released a new patch for Wonder Boy Returns. According to the company, this patch gives players the ability to play as the current ‘new’ Boy, but also play as the classic 1986 arcade version, ‘Retro Boy’, and even can select Tina as a playable character.
Moreover, in this update, the graphic and theme have been enhanced, and the UI has been tweaked to be more user-friendly.
Wonder Boy Returns is a remaster of the classic Wonder Boy game with new design of hero ‘Boy’, and heroine ‘Tina’, along with various monsters to fit the current trend and be more likable by new users.
Wonder Boy Returns is an action side scroller game where main character runs over obstacles, collect items, and defeat enemies in this classic style game. Player must guide main character to end quickly before his health depletes.

The animations in the game could use a lot more frames. I mean for crying out loud, the original looks more fluid.
Also the only reason I’m vaguely interested in WonderBoy in general is because I played Adventure Island… which is WonderBoy with a different skin due to licensing reasons.
I totally agree with you, the animations in the new game are diabolical… looking forward to the new version of Wonder Boy 3: The Dragons Trap !!
Still looks like a mobile game.
The graphics (very uninspired and basic) scream mobile game.
You gotta be quite rich to buy similar basic games for pc.
If it weren’t for the famous original from the 8ies, I highly doubt this kind of game would meet any kind of success/attention on pc.
