Wario Shaking it Up on Wii

2d gaming is back and on the Wii courtesy of Nintendo! In Wario’s latest adventure Wario Land: Shake it!, our hero is back and up to his old treasure hunting/stealing self. In this adventure players will use the Wii remote and hold it sideways classic controller style. And by shaking the controller, Wario will perform some on screen actions such as shaking items or tilting left and right to maintain balance.

Whats also cool about this Wario title is the arts style that developers/creators chose for the game; which you can see is a more animated/anime style. The previous Wario titles were all fun, and held their own unique style of play compared to the traditional Mario games. This title will be hitting Japan this fall. The US version is still TBA. Check the Japanese intro and gameplay footage below.

*Update* Xbox 360 motion controller unveiled!!!

It appears the motion controller is real, but it is a peripheral from a 3rd party company! You can view all the details in the link below. And yes, it still looks silly. Even more so now!

Check it out!

Hmmmmm. There is a whole lot of things I want to really say, but that is a whole other topic in itself. So for now I’ll just let you all take a gander at what appears to be the real deal as seen in this scanned picture(thanks to ultimategamerpodcast.co.uk) of the rumored Xbox 360 motion controller. Now that this baby is spreading like wild fire across the net, Microsofts PR hounds should be released soon to try and calm the masses. I am dying to see what they have to say about introducing their new controller and in particular, what they have to say in regards to Nintendo. I know one thing, a lot of die hard 360 fans aren’t too happy about this and this will be some sure fire ammo for a lot of heated debates online across the forums. Can we expect a balance board or some form of exercise peripheral from the Microsoft camp as well? Let us know your thoughts!
