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:
