New Adventure Island is underrated.

This is my favorite of all the Adventure Island games.  I had it as a kid, but sadly its one of the ones I traded away.  Love the Susumu Matsushita cover art, that's always struck a chord with me since I read about Famitsu magazine in an EGM years back (with a picture of Necky the Fox pulling the bikini bottoms off of some girl with his teeth!)

Of course I prefer the Wonder Boy series fork overall but I have some good memories of this one.

Ok, so after a couple weeks pounding on this game, I'm finally making some progress.
Somebody in here mentioned that the controls are spot on and I agree.

New Adventure Island I love it I love it I love it !! Far better of a game in every way then the Original Sega version Wonder Boy and the Nintendo's version Adventure Island Imo. It's all about the New Adventure Island. lol And on top of everything our little hero on this game Skateboards and I like that a lot because I skateboard too! It's also a very challenging game to beat with great music and amazing colorful graphics . Me and a buddy of mine last year did a level each co op to beat the entire game together. A very rad game definitely a must have for any true Obeyer .. Rant Officially Over !!

Very good game and one that I've played through on a couple of occasions. Still like Super Adventure Island a little bit better, in no small part because of the amazing Yuzo soundtrack, but I love both games.

I was watching Super Adventure Island playthrough the other day, and it looks like an early tech demo for the the snes. Doesn't look that fun (somehow I missed out on this game BITD; the snes one).

I always found it fun, plus it has a bit more variety than some AI games with swimming, mine carts, etc. Plus the level 2 music is the best tropical tune ever.

yeah, yuzo musics rox in sai. but nai is the much better and challanging game gameplay wise.
