Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection Set For Digital January Release

ININ Games and Bliss Brain have announced that the Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection will be released digitally next month. Technically this collection has been out physically for over eight months, but they've completely sold out of them through Strictly Limited Games, so this is for everyone else to own. Those looking to get their hands on 21 titles all in a single collection from the classic platformer series can do so on January 26th, 2023. But you'll only be able to snag it for Nintendo Switch or for PS4 and PS5. You can check out more below about the series below.
