"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.‎"

"When remaking something that is hard on an old console, developers should try to fix any unfair elements while keeping the spirit of the original alive. If you don&s;t bother to touch those things up, you&s;ll end up with mediocrity, …"

"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."
