"Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is a faithful recreation of a classic Master System game. With that in mind, I would have much preferred an unfaithful recreation because Alex Kidd in Miracle World isn&s;t exactly a shining example of …"

"The remake of the legendary Alex Kidd In Miracle World is already a reality. The classic of 8bits comes back to life by the hand of the Spanish Jankenteam in a reimagining that leaves us wanting more."

"Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is an accomplished remake built around a core that&s;s admittedly creaking with age."
Read original review"A praiseworthy work of revival of this classic. It updates and makes many of its original features better, but that&s;s not enough to compensate its original flaws: basically, a brutal, unfair difficulty that may make you despair."

"Alex Kidd was more or less usurped by Sonic the Hedgehog as SEGA&s;s golden boy, and it&s;s not hard to see why. This platformer may have rendered some fun in 1986, but considering it&s;s a direct remake, it&s;s still a …"
