Monster World IV

[DragonmasterDan]

I saw Monster World IV hit Virtual Console yesterday and finally picked it up after all these years. It's a very solid games, and it's in English. Has anyone else played it?

0 because it was a Virtual Console game on the Wii!




It was 900 Wii Points though.

Nice I should pop some $$ on the Wii tonight and snag that along with Cave Story. 

Thanks Dan.

I have a repro cart with a fan translation.  The game is one of my favorite of the 16 bit era, I recommend it to everyone! The controls are perfect, the graphics are bright and cute, the animations is excellent, and there is a lot of love put into the game.

And let's be serious, once you see Asha/Arsha wiggle her butt in excitement when opening a treasure chest, how can you not fall in love?

I still have 100 or 200 points sitting around after purchasing Dracula X. I suppose I should pick up something to keep those from going to waste, and Monster World IV would be a good pick. What games on VC do you guys recommend most for bang-for-buck? Also, how good is Genesis emulation on the VC?

Well, your points are also good on WiiWare games, it turns into if you want to play something original for Wii, like Castlevania: ReBirth or if you want to play an old game you no longer have or have always wanted to play.

What? Was it only available for download? I was expecting it to be a retail release. Thanks for the info!

I'm also waiting to play Cave Story 3D, however, I don't have a 3DS.  I have the game, but I'm waiting atleast for the inevitable dual analog stick 3DS, instead of that stupid addon.

I played this (never in English, though  ) many, many years ago.

Great game. It's a damn shame it was never released stateside back in the day.
