Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX Coming to Both PS5 and PS4 This Summer

Everyone who had this this game built into their Master System may get nostalgic for this! I think the original is a great game, though Alex is tricky to control on small platforms and the random chance boss encounters annoyed me back in the day. I still have the nice M2 version on PS3 where I finally beat the game after many years. Will pick this one up too I think. Certainly preferable to his Megadrive game.

If your Master System cart wasn't properly inserted for whatever reason, Alex Kidd would boot up with that intro music, which also plays if you select the game icon on the PS3 XMB.

This was my first ever video game. Was built into my master system when I was about 6. I managed to beat it on the PS3 a few years back but I’ll definitely play it again. Day one purchase for me.

Internet: "One of SEGA's mascots is getting a new game!"
Me: "Eeeeeeee!!"
Internet: "It's not Sonic."
Me:

Never played but it looks like a great update, along the lines of Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap, which was excellent.

Sega when they were good.

Sega genesis alex kidd and the enchanted 🏰 castle was a good game.still got it on my Sega genesis classics collection.this looks fun will definitely try it out.word up son

@RudeAnimat0r I didn't like Dragon's Trap all that much but The Cursed Kingdom was excellent.
This one looks cool

First console game I ever completed if memory serves..

I'd love a collection... Alex kidd in shinobi world was pretty good too..

@playstation1995 I'd say this Master System game is better than Enchanted Castle, even with the smaller sprites. Certainly worth a look if you've not played it before. Shinobi World, as mentioned above, is also a really fun Master System game, if a bit easier than this one!

@Voltan Cursed Kingdom was very good too. I think I preferred Dragon's Trap because the job Lizard Cube did updating the art was just incredible. I think it's one of the best looking 2D games I've ever played. I also liked that it was a reskin - it was really interesting playing a game that old but seeing how ahead of its time a lot of the actual design was. Can't imagine playing that when I was a child screwing around with my Atari.

@Voltan The cursed kingdom was awesome, hope they make a sequel.

The game looks good, I'm interested in this

I remember playing the original as a kidd and I absolutelly loved it. I played it again on the ps3 a few years back and its still incredibly charming.

I think this game is my earliest gaming memory, had it preinstalled on our Master System, I remember my big bro calling our cousin to find out how to beat those damn paper scissor stone guys. Can't wait to see how this is

wonder boy - dragon's trap and monster boy - cursed kingdom were amazing re-imaginings. this new alex kidd game will likely be no different. sega has been doing a good job selecting great developers to revive these old franchises. why has capcom not taken a similar approach with its old IP?

@Ristar24. I dont know about master system.sega genesis is where its at.word up son

I have fond memories of playing this on my Master System, so will defo pick this up at some point. Really enjoyed Wonder Boy The Dragons Trap but have yet to play Monster Boy. There is a new game coming out in the series - Wonder Boy – Asha in Monster World. Looking forward to see how that one turns out.

@playstation1995 Yeah, I guess the Master System was not well know in the US at the time as the NES seemed to be the popular 8-bit system. There are some great games on there though, I tend to play them on the Megadrive / Genesis these days, as I have a Power Base Converter.

@kyleforrester87. What was your favorite game.but sega genesis was more fun to me.streets of rage was when i was like ok its over.what was your favorite master system games.word up son

@Ristar24. I did had a master system.i like it.but i like Sega genesis more.rambo 3.truxton.super hang on.contra hard corpse.streets of rage is where its at.word up son

@kyleforrester87. The reason why i love sega genesis more is everything.sounds and graphics.but sega master system was a good machine. I got to give sega respect for that.wonder boy and alex kid was amazing.mickey mose also.shinobi.word up son

@kyleforrester87. Why is sony taking all that time to aquire bluepoint games.come on sony.and i been with PlayStation since day 1 in September 1995 in new york city.i dont know why sony is doing this closing the ps3 and vita psp.theyre wrong for that .but i think sony got a plan they will put it on psn somehow.word up son

@RudeAnimat0r I want Lizard Cube to re-skin every classic game dear to my heart—Turtles in Time, SFIII, etc. to infinity. Dragon’s Trap was beautifully done.

@playstation1995 Streets of Rage is legendary, first time I saw (and heard) that game, I knew I wanted a Megadrive / Genesis!

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle was my first console game on my Japanese Sega Megadrive I bought in December 1989.
I’m definitely interested in this one👍

@Buckychop_Fandom lol let's not get ahead of ourselves! Love me Lizard Cube, with Dragon's Trap and Streets of Rage 4 under their belt, they have a lot of my goodwill. With that said, not sure I ever want SFIII reskinned it is perfection.

@Ristar24. I agree streets of rage is why i respect sony so much.best sega franchise to me.word up son

Why do they use these terrible graphics when making these classic platform games .Ghost and goblins etc .😔

lol my younger bro had this on the master system. i was still slugging it out with rambo to the dizzy games on the c64. i miss the 80s lol il snag this game.
thanks for the info guys. i wonder if the select button will put this back to the eay it looked. yes i still call em start and select i never grasped the change options and share!? never stuck with me ( had to pick up a ps4 joypad to me ake sure that was what they were called) lol

Pre-Ordered for £23 in the UK

Alex Kidd in Miracle World (SMS) was one of my earliest games... I did not have a SMS but I went to my neighbor and we played hell out of that game!
I remember those non-killable monks!

what is the benefit of making a pixel 2D game for the PS5? Oh i get it...it will surely utilize native 4k@60fps, adaptive triggers and 3D audio...
