Why has this platformer never been renewed? I loved playing this series on NES. The SNES remake was terrible.

I always thought this series sucked ass, fat fuck needing to eat 24/7 ruins the game, I would rather play ghost and fucking goblins

What the fuck? Why would you think this?
>>12694196
Fuck you. But also a good game.

The nes art and graphics were part of the experienced. Teh platformer graphics on SNES was different. I loved SMW but a lot of others like double dragon and final fight etc looks terrible.

Super Adventure Island 1 is super comfy, but if you want something more like Adventure Island IV, play Super Adventure Island II

Because it's repetitive tedious slop brutally mogged by the franchise it copied, Wonder Boy.

There's no real reason not to enjoy both series.
And no console wars isn't a valid reason.

Adventure Island 2-3-4 looked cool on NES because it ripped off SMW and Sonic graphics. Both SNES Suped Adventure games look like generic crap.

Not this shit again...

They look really fucking cool though?
If this is "generic" then it means 16-bit era was great.

>then it means 16-bit era was great.
Well fucking duh
>>
>>12694354
That's the point.
If someone says "generic" in the context of 16bit, I think "great!"

Super Adventure Island II was cool and pretty but still too unpolished for its 1994 release. It felt like Hudson was still getting its feet wet with supporting the SNES after spending so much time pumping out PC Engine exclusives like there's no tomorrow. Their later games are much better.

Anyways, play Willy Wombat.

The real answer is Konami bought Hudson Soft, cancelled all HS's in-development games and hoarded HS's IPs without ever really using any of them. Then Konami stopped making games altogether for a long time because gambling machines were more profitable. Recently passed laws closing the loopholes on gambling has caused Konami to dabble in making video games again so it's possible they'll make a new Adventure Island game but still unlikely

That sounds similar to SNK

Seems like a pretty polished game to me with lots to explore, a big map and cool powerups.
>>

>16-bit era was great.
True, but SNES had nothing to do with that. Picrel released before either SNES games, looked better, sounded better, played far better, and all on hardware 3 years older than SNES.
>>
>>12694929
Uh... Yeah New is great too but it's an easier reimagining of the original game, Super 2 is like IV or the Wonder Land.
It just sounds like you want to hate on the SNES on purpose.
Using Adventure Island for console warring should be considered a capital sin.

It was, they made a Gamecube game. It was fun.
