It may be hard to believe, but it's been 13 years since the last Adventure Island game was released. ... OK, so maybe it's not that hard, the "dude riding a skateboard and collecting eggs" genre isn't exactly thriving. Undeterred, Hudson's Takahashi Meijin says that the company is going back to the well for another Adventure Island game, currently in the early stages of development.
Meijin said that the game will probably appear on WiiWare, but noted concern about trying to shoehorn motion control into the game, making him (we believe) the very first Wii developer to ever, ever worry about that. Congratulations, Takahashi!

No, Wonderboy = Adventure Island. Exactly the same game.

I liked this series as a child, however, I slightly liked the sequel it had for the NES because of the dragons you could get in a stage. Either way, both games were awesome.
Yay! Let's hope it retains the fun the NES games had, or else I'll be disappointed.

Double post to see if my last comment appears because this comment system is horrible.

The original game, which I have somewhere around the house, was damn hard. I think I still have nightmares about it.

It was fun on the NES, but that game was too simplistic was too simplistic to even work on the SNES - not to mention the Wii. It'll take some serious revamping for this to be anything other than a crap nostalgia remake.

Are Tina and Master Higgins crackheads? Or maybe they ate too much candy. The one thing I do know....

Actually, the last Adventure Island (Gamecube/PS2 Remake) was released only a few years ago....
