I can definitely see that. I love shooters/shmups, and I had a blast playing the game.
Absolutely! Rondo, Castlevania IV, and Bloodlines are all killer games. It's kind of sad how Konami made 3 unique and awesome Castlevania games for the 3 big hardware manufacturers back then, and now Konami is all but irrelevant.

This! All of the this. How was Wonder boy not the mascot of Sega? Imagine how much better the character would have translated to 3D than Sonic the hedgehog.
There's a good write up of why wonder boy was so good here.
On a lesser note, I feel like Bonanza bros didn't get anywhere near as much love as it should have.
Favorite Sega game of all time? The arcade port of Virtual On for the Saturn.
Even though I eventually bought a full size cabinet a few years ago, I still think the Saturn version holds up in its own way, and plays just as well when you're using the twin sticks. It's just a little faster is all (and it had load times). Anyway, yeah, great port! Even let you record your matches and play 'em back with unique camera angles.
Wonderboy was a mascot of NEC too, much like Bonk was as he ended up no their hardware too with yet another name variant. There is a PC conversion of Dragon's Trap (WB3) for Windows around I think would be highly respected by some in here.
The Adventure Island/Wonder Boy heritage is messy, but the Wonder Boy name is/was owned by Sega, though Westone also sold publishing rights to the games to Hudson, who rebranded many of them as either Adventure Island or sprite-altered renames like Dragon's Curse or Dynastic Hero. So, while they're sort of multi-platform, Wonder Boy is a Sega franchise. It's weird, but Wonder Boy kicks Alex Kidd and Sonic in the face.

Sadly really Konami hasn't over all been themselves since 3D kicked 2D's ass out of the console market. They never seemed to properly learn to adapt never every single one of their 8/16bit franchises and as a result the game have mostly beem mediocre to downright rotten. You do have some shining examples of it not, like the MGS series, but on the whole damn do they suck unless they make gameboy/ds, or tablet 2D games. Capcom, same thing.

Much as they try to keep castlevania going in 3D it's just didn't work out at all.Much as i like the MGS series,it has gotten to the point of being milked to death.Even when hideo leaves after MGSV is completed i suspect konami will continue on with mgs without him.They becoming more like snkplaymore and putting more into smart phones etc.
