Now, developer Lizardcube and publisher DotEmu are looking to bring the classic to life once more for modern players with a drastic facelift. The new Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is a gorgeous, hand-drawn affair with a new soundtrack to match its stunning looks. While the core gameplay is said to remain the same, taking players through a complex world as the shape-shifting protagonist Lizard Man, it looks to be introducing several new elements along the way.

Lizardcube will be releasing the game for both PC and consoles, though there's no concrete date just yet.
