Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 31941, member: 6930"] You're welcome. I bet that Monster World IV wasn't named Wonderboy because it featured a female protagonist. And maybe because they wanted to remove the Wonder Boy name to make it less ambiguous with the Wonder Boy series? Or because it was Japanese exclusive. Wonder Boy in Monster World removed the 5 and 3 from the title especially because they wanted to remove any confusion in the west. The Wonder Boy Series had some confusing history... There are even two separate Wonder Boy III titles: Monster Lair (a run'n gun game) and Dragon's Trap (an Action/Adventure/Proto-Metroidvania). I feel that Rondo and Super Castlevania IV overshadowed Bloodlines a lot (because of the impressive CD audio and animated cinematic for one and the Mode 7 and 8-directionnal whipping for the other). In 1994 people were already interested in 3D and a more arcade like platformer would just be yet another game in a genre that was saturated... Gunstar Heroes showed how great Treasure would soon become. [/QUOTE]
