Wonder Boy Collection Will Feature Monster Lair and Dragon’s Trap Alongside Multitude of Wonder Boy Series Ports

Thursday, March 3rd, 2022

The Wonder Boy Collection will now receive an additional ‘Anniversary Collection’ which will include ports of Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair and Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap. In addition to these titles is news that the collection will feature every officially SEGA-licensed port which means arcade, SG-1000, Master System and Mega Drive ports are all present. This brings the total games included up to 21 total versions of the various Wonder Boy games released from the original game to Monster World IV.

Strictly Limited Games will be publishing the game physically on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. 3 editions are available: a standard edition, a collector’s edition and an ultra collector’s edition. See below for the frankly ridiculous list of included Wonder Boy titles:

Wonder Boy Collection Announced for Switch and PS4

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022

ININ have revealed they will be publishing a Wonder Boy Collection for PS4 and Switch. The announcement trailer features the Master System versions of Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy in Monster Land, alongside the Mega Drive versions of Wonder Boy in Monster World and Monster World IV.

Development duties on the collection is being handled by BlissBrain. What’s strange is that the information on the BlissBrain site and ININ site actually pictures the arcade versions of Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy in Monster Land, so it is currently not clear if the collection features the Master System versions, the arcade versions or both.

The Wonder Boy Collection will be published digitally by BlissBrain and ININ and physically by Strictly Limited Games. Pre-orders for the collection from Strictly Limited games will go live “soon”. There is currently no word on a firm release date for the collection. All titles in the collection are officially under license from SEGA. ININ had previously published the Monster World IV remake Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World.
