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.

No. Retail.

I hope it turns out good. The DS game was weak, but I really liked the older games.

How is it a troll? 2d platformer on WiiWare makes more sense than a retail release.

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.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #7 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.

What's so troll about it? Lost Winds and Final Fantasy CC looks better than majority of Wii games alone. If this is $50, it is a huge ripoff.

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

There's plenty of 2D platformers. I'm playing Yoshi's Island DS right now. I am sorry if you cannot wrap that around your head. I will speak slower next time.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #14 on:** May 30, 2008, 08:27:53 PM »

Hey, if they've got cojones enough to charge retail for it, that means it has to be at least as long and content filled as say, Treasure's sorta-okay but depth-challenged Wario World for the Cube (6-8 hours). 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.

Shame Wii can only do 480p. Game would look sick in HD.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #29 on:** July 04, 2008, 12:57:00 PM »

I retract my previous statement. As long as the waggle isn't overbearing this could be pretty good.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #30 on:** July 04, 2008, 01:01:26 PM »

I like the Wario games but if there is too much waggle involved, I will probably get it for $20 or less.

nice spritework. and this is why i think it's fucking nonsense when gafers go on about the impossibility of drawing new sprites -- just outsource that shit to an animation studio, as nintendo have done here. it's not a new idea either...i've read about 16-bit games that did the same thing.

demi · « **Reply #34 on:** July 04, 2008, 02:08:47 PM »

The animation is beautiful. If only Megaman 9 looked like this. Or the next Castlevania. Or the next actual Mario game. Or the next Metroid. Or the next Zelda made in Zelda 2 style. Or a number of other things.

Looks great, but still kinda worried about the gameplay. Heard it was beind done by some weird studio who I never heard of.

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.

Looks like the waggle is minimal... I will buy. I hope it has a lot of treasure hunting and shit like the previous games. It looks to drop the stupid "transformations" too.

patrickula · « **Reply #45 on:** July 08, 2008, 11:58:28 PM »

That video's pretty much all that I wanted out of a Wario Land Wii game - Awesome 2D graphics and animation, minimal (and fun looking) waggle, no transformations, body slam attack. Absolutely can't wait to get my hands on this, I haven't been disappointed in the series yet.

People should wait til reviews come out. Just like SPM, this looks pretty, but it's being done by a fledgeling studio, and seems to be a pretty short game too.
