Monster Boy shows final graphics

Ryuichi Nishizawa's game is looking shiny.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap was a great success last year, as it got a new layer of HD polish by Lizardcube, and now the spiritual successor Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom by Game Atelier is shaping up nicely too, as shown by the final-graphics screenshots you can take a look at below, which have been recently released by publisher FDG Entertainment.

Not only do both games share the same genre and style, but both are developed in Paris and are supervised by original creator Ryuichi Nishizawa. Monster Boy, however, is a brand-new game that will arrive on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One later this year.

Do you think it looks better than the new Wonder Boy?

It's taken forever for this one to come out, but hopefully they've got it all together now... it will be at Gamescom so maybe we'll learn about the release date there.
