Will the original Monster World IV be made available?

It's present on the cartridge on Switch, and available as a download on PS4.

I think Monster World 4 will initially be as a free game for pre-order but then they will put it as a separate game to buy separately as they did for the Switch and PS4 versions.

Can anyone answer if it’s included? No mention for the steam version.

Monster World IV the original game wasn't even available to be download separately though. You could get Monster World IV if you buy the remake physically for Switch or PS4. On Switch you get it on the cartridge with the remake whereas on PS4 you get a download code with the remake. For Switch & PS4, the game will be shown at the UI just like any other game. The only second time you could get the game is if you buy any of the Wonder Boy Collection which will include the game among the list of other games. Sadly though those Wonder Boy Collections are also only available for Switch, PS4, and PS5. Long story short, Monster World IV, the original game is not available on Steam yet or ever.

...Why are you telling me this? I clearly know all this in the original post already.
I was asking before the release on Steam if the original game would be available since it wasn't mentioned in the description or whatever.
It was a time sensitive question where I wanted a yes or no before release, or for the publisher to go "oh yeah, we should include that" and add the game at some point. It doesn't matter anymore.

Yes, I own the Anniversary Collection version of that on Switch.
Not sure why you're saying the game will not be available on Steam ever though. Wonder Boy Collection isn't even a year old yet, we're still in that window where it could reasonably be brought over at any time.
