When I was growing up there was one game that really stood out as a grand platformer that I simply could not stop playing at the Arcades, and that was Wonder Boy. It was a game by Ryuichi Nishizawa that started it's life as a skateboard rock jumping and enemy axe bashing platformer that later became a medieval platformer on multiple systems with both action and RPG elements. It was some of the finest series of games that I had played, so today's news of FDG Entertainment GmbH's 'Monster Boy and the Wizard of Booze' in cooperation with Ryuichi Nishizawa certainly came with excitement!
