SEGA seems to be pulling out the classics at the moment...

Like I said in another forum, the new characters designs feel uncomfortable but the backgrounds are fine.
Miracle World's core gameplay was very fun but some of the stage design countered it, especially later in the game. But minor tweaking to gameplay (like removing the floating during swimming) and ditching the stage elements that didn't work is all it would take to make a more or less "perfect" game
Hopefully key dev team members are fans and will know what to do.

Well, they’re adding alternate boss fights, and that’s probably the most important thing.

I remember all this stuff when it was new. I’m well aware that Sega *tried* to have their own Mario with Alex but I personally never met anyone back in the day that cared. My friends and I wanted the Master System for Shinobi, Thunderblade, Afterburner, Phantasy Star etc. Alex Kidd never really caught anyone’s focus around these parts. Maybe it’s different across the pond but I’d suspect not since the library was even bigger there and Master System owners had even less reason to just play the pack-in.

It looks cool enough, I've never played too far into any of the Alex Kidd games bitd.

I played all the Alex Kidd games (my friend had an SMS back in the day), but after *Miracle World*, I want SHINOBI WORLD (done right). Shinobi World (the 2020 version I am dreaming of), would have delightful platforming and incorporate NINJA MAGIC and BONUS STAGES with throwing stars. Yes, I am shallow.

It's not bad looking, I guess. Maybe even great if you're a teenager. But I personally wouldn't want to play this over the originals.

I'll be honest: At this point, I am surprised anyone is remaking/updating older titles that don't seem "relevant" to modern audiences. So, I'm willing to give most of these project a chance to win me over. Which reminds me, I still haven't played the Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap remake from a few years ago.

If they can pull something really great out of the bag, then sure.... I'll be interested. However, from a position of limited finances, if given the choice between adding a retro game for my favourite console to my collection or the modern remake, I'd probably choose the former. (Unless the original is crap of course. ).

For example, I am always tempted to waste my money on pizza. NOBODY NEEDS TO EAT PIZZA EVERYDAY (I try, though). So: Original game VS. update VS. pizza

But yeah, every day might be a bit overkill.
