Haha, it's about time. Wonderboy lives to see another adventure in Canada.
hah! Tell me about it. It's funny that I went from not coming close to beating the damn game to being able to beat it while on the toilet.
Bikkuri definitely has that addictive arcade feel. But Dragon's Curse calls. I've played a little and I love it so far.
Edit: I was just poking around the archives looking to see if there was a thread that clearly described the lineage of the Wonderboy series. I thought I had it figured out, but then I read that Monster Lair was actually released after Wonderboy in Monsterland (Bikkuriman World) - such a confusing series. Anyway, I found your thread thread titled "f*ck".
This really sums up the feeling of trying to fight the final boss. I just missed that thread when I registered on September 4, 2007. heh
Btw, did you ever make a comparison thread between the SMS and PCE ports? The SMS port definitely looks easier. The most obvious difference is the number of hits the bosses take. On the SMS port the bosses only take two or three hits.
