Metroidvania Works 21: Wonder Boy III / Neutopia / Golden Axe Warrior
🕑 Added 2023-07-19 11:59:01 +0000 UTCI kind of feel back for Neutopia and Golden Axe Warrior. Here I went and stuck two perfectly decent games together in the same episode as a genuine masterpiece, making them look paltry and derivative by comparison. Well, I suppose they really are paltry and derivative—not bad, just a bit predictable—but Wonder Boy III was simply incredible and would honestly make just about any game covered so far on Metroidvania Works look a bit flimsy by comparison. So it goes, I suppose.
As always, please enjoy the FM version of this Master System game's soundtrack. Sega included a JP localization on the cart, complete with an alternate soundtrack and title screen, despite only releasing it in the U.S. and Europe. Strange days.

I've never heard anything but great things about this game. After watching this video, I'm sold. Going to add it to the Steam collection and give it a try.

I've really been looking forward to the MVW take on Wonder Boy III! It's by far my favorite Master System game, basically the Super Mario Bros. 3 of that platform as far as I'm concerned.
