Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap (Nintendo Switch)

This is fantastic I thoroughly enjoy this game. It's easy to play, looks good, plays smooth with no noticeable bugs or glitches and is very fun. Highly recommended.

This innovative action RPG masterpiece from 1989 blended superb side-scrolling platforming gameplay with RPG lite mechanics which stands today as perhaps the high point of 8bit console games. Several games from the 8bit era attempted something similar such as Zelda 2 the adventures of Link, Faxanadu, The Battle of Olympus and later Popful mail. But Wonderboy The dragon's Trap stood out with its Chibi anime graphics and sense of humour. That this game has been picked up again for rerelease is awesome. Here's what you get:1. The Disc2. A reversible inlay featuring the updated graphics remake art or the original Japanese anime artwork ( A great inclusion for serious fans )3. A beautiful colour instruction manual4. A PVC Green Dragon mobile phone strap featuring the playable character from the beginning of the gameA real value for money game that you'll be playing for months at a time, and worth every penny. Simply buy it!

Fair game

Absolutely as fantastic as I remember it being when I was just a seven year old! The gameplay is a carbon copy of the original Sega Master System version. The sounds are exactly the same. The clouds that rain down fiery things are still just as annoying as ever.The new artwork, however, is so brilliantly done you will seldom bother with the nostalgia of the 8-bit graphics (accessible but hitting R2 at any time). The animations give that bit more expression to the characters you already loved (well, nobody really loved Lizard Man to begin with, but he's actually tolerable now).Once I've beaten the game properly, I'll be trying the old WE5T 0NE 0000 000 password out to see if that still works :)EDIT: Turns out the WE5T 0NE 0000 000 password actually still does work :) Nearly all weapons and areas unlocked, plus secret doors instantly accessible.p.s. If you use the Hades Armor and Heavenly Shield you get a free top up on your life when it runs down.

Good platformer and love being able to switch to the retro graphics and sounds.

Loved original and thought this would be similar, was sadly wrong so haven't bothered playing it.

Disk was fine, but package was in very poor condition i.e. completely broken a new case will need to be ordered.

I had this on my sega mega drive back as a kid , the new style graphics and music are brilliant, and you can switch to the old 16byte version and mix and matchThe game play is similar to the original , but a bit smoothertop quality game!

arrivato nei tempi stabiliti. videogioco in condizioni perfette . gioco che consiglio soprattutto agli amanti del genere

Fabuleux, du rétro gamin comme on voudrait en voir plus

El arte del juego es genial, y poder cambiar al estilo retro trae grandes recuerdos. Si te gustó el original, este es perfecto para tenerlo en tu colección.
