Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair

Das Modul bietet eine unkomplizierte Mischung aus Jump'n'Run und Action, ist gut spielbar und auch für Einsteiger geeignet.

So, overall? Despite the overtly negative tone of this review, I do have a soft spot for Monster Lair. It is particularly good in two-player mode, and I recommend you play it with a friend should you desire to play it at all. The presentation is terrible, and it has some unforgivable flaws, but much of the game is fun if you're into shooters, platformers or even just Wonder Boy. As I began, it is indeed the worst Wonder Boy game ever made but it is very far from the worst Mega Drive game ever made and that makes it alright.

Nintendo announces the arrival of the Commodore 64 on the Virtual Console -- and then drops support for the system after four games. Nintendo then announces the debut of the Virtual Console Arcade -- and, again, drops support for that after four games. I'm sure we'll eventually see more releases for both of those VC categories eventually, but the timing of Nintendo's Console releases has been broken for far too long. You can't hype up new systems and make surprise launches and then not follow-up. It's ridiculous.
