Title: Wario Land for Wii
Post by: Oblivion on May 29, 2008, 08:58:44 PM: (http://i26.tinypic.com/2rhr62q.jpg)

Always nice to have a 2D platformer, though, only 20 levels it seems. Never really cared for the Wario Land series, however. Thought they were vastly inferior to the Mario platformers, but this one seems like it could at least be better than previous installments.

Post by: originalz on May 30, 2008, 12:09:45 AM: They need to make a Waluigi game, he's been a character for awhile yet they haven't given him any original titles to star in. I like Waluigi more than Wario anyway.
Title: Re: Wario Land for Wii
Post by: Joe Molotov on May 30, 2008, 12:19:14 AM: It does look like a DS game, but if it's as good as the first three Wario Land games, I don't care. Wario Land 3 is one of the best games ever.

It should be $100 considering there's no 2D platformers anymore, and a bunch of generic elfin gay shit like BG&E 2. :rofl

I could get up in arms about this, but I can't really hate on a full fledged 2D game in this day and age.

Bring it on, says I.

Which came out in 2006... there's not that much in the way of good 2D platformers coming out now :(

2D in this has gotten my pants tight, hopefully the waggle isn't overbearing.

It doesn't seem too bad. Shaking enemies down for coins is neat.

But Shantae WiiWare is supposed to have no waggle.

What I don't get is why, if usings sprites is expensive as people claim, Nintendo used sprites for oustourced 2nd tier games like Princess Peach DS and YIDS, but not for NSMB.

This game is just fantastic so far. Clever design, solid game play, and some of the best animation ever seen in a 2D platformer. This game is old-school in a good way, harkening back to the days when games were all about the GAME PLAY. It's hard to believe it's from Nintendo, with the way they approach game-making these days. I was really let down by New Super Mario Bros. on DS, but this game shits all over it so far. I hope it doesn't end up being too short.

Seems sp0rsk doesn't like it.

Must mean the game is awesome if he hates it.

Then again, sp0rsk liked Phantom Hourglass.
