Wario Shaking it Up on Wii
July 4, 2008 · Print This Article
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.
Unit out…
You know, come to think of it, I never played any Wario game. Not even the original ones on Gameboy. I don’t know I was never attracted to the title for any particular reason. Besides the fact that its an obvious rip off, and an exploration into the darker side of Mario’s conscious (as in what he really wants to do with the denizens of the world he jumps through) .. it never appealed to me. This doesn’t mean that this here does not look promising though.
