I played and owned all three back in the days. Two and three I played countless times with my friends. The thing that took SoR beyond its competitors was the music and art.

SoR music is some of the best I've come across. Although limited by 16bit tech, they made that console produce some amazing sounds.

The levels in SoR were better than most generic levels in a scrolling beat em up. More thought had gone into them and how you could interact with them. It just did everything that little bit better.

I'm excited and nervous about the new one. The at style is very kiddish and I don't think they have the music. That's two out of 3 ingredients they are missing to make this a proper SoR game. It feels this studio can only do one type of art style and in wonder boy it worked, but this ain't wonder boy.
