One of my favorite pictures ever is me at 3 years old with my brother 7 years older than me, watching him play his GameBoy Color. I looked so fascinated and amazed watching him play this crazy game. What game was he playing? Wario Land 3. Wario Land 3 is the first videogame I ever laid eyes on, and it's still the best I've ever played. Never forgot about that game ever, played it hundreds of times. Imagine my delight when, later in life, I was overjoyed to discover that the rest of the series was just as good as 3. These games are a perfect refinement of what platformers should be: High production values, a fun crazy character and visuals that could draw anyone in, and gameplay interesting enough to keep players engaged for its full runtime. Wario Land belongs in the most prestigious lists of gaming, right next to Bomberman, and many many others. I think with the correct marketing and timing, Wario Land could see an amazing revival.
That's such an inspirational and great comment! Really shows the impact a series can have on someone's life. Wario Land is one of Nintendo's best 2D platforming series.
@@Demeech Thank you. It really is. Nintendo has undergone a fundamental change in the way they do things. I don't think they are nearly as bold with their faith in designs and choices as much as they used to be. That's why I'm heartbroken that Nintendo has not put out a new Wario Land game in 12 years. I still have faith though that we will see a revival of the adventure platformer. There's still plenty of ideas to see through with the Wario Land trademark game design.
@@Demeech 2:33 - 2:40: Too bad the Gmod Community doesn't agree with you, because it does sound cool. Also, Wario Land Shake It isn't the only Console Wario Land Game... There was Wario World, and I think the lack of transformations could be from that game before Shake it. Lastly, I'd rather have Co-Op with Captain Syrup, rather than that Dick Dastardly wannabe inbred clone. Imagine if Wario and Syrup had to work together to fight a more serious threat (unlike Shake It, where she does nothing until the end just to be a straight up bitch). I'd like the idea of Captain Syrup having to put aside with Wario, because of their common interest. And she would've been a much better character than Waluigi: ruclips.net/video/5O7Bop98biY/видео.html
The biggest tragedy in gaming is that there is near zero representation of Wario Land in the Super Smash Bros series. Everyone just knows him as the fat guy who farts all the time.
At least Ultimate FINALLY put Captain Syrup (as a Spirit), along with a few others like the Shake King, Princess Shokora, and Count Cannoli, and they gave him his Shoulder Bash as a dash attack, which is still not the real deal, but much better than not having it at all
Wario is one of the best Nintendo characters ever created(Along with Olimar. He got 2 kids, a wife, 100+ servants, a huge bulge,(had) a personal spaceship, overall just a huge chad)
@@omarpikm2101 Wario is the ultimate chad and perfect meme combined into one. He's someone you'd poke fun at at first glance, only to realize just how loaded and jacked this man is. Pretty much "don't judge a book by its cover"... with a dash of garlic!
For the people wondering why Nintendo stopped making Wario Land games, the studio that made the games was dissolved in the company reorganization in 2004 by Satoru Iwata. That's why other non first party developers only continued to make Wario games, same as with Metroid which even had the same developer team as the Wario Land games.
WL3 is perhaps one of my favorite games of all time, with WL4 and WL1 coming close. Shake It had great presentation but felt watered down gameplay-wise compared to earlier titles. Been waiting years for a new WL title, and I hope we get more someday.
I was shocked when you said you hated the escape sequences of wario land 4, and then you didn't explain why. They're basically half the game and are so much more than just running back to the start point.
i agree, it was like the team learned from the metroid games they worked on to learn what ppl didnt like about escape parts in those games and then made it more interested and fun to make you feel like a speed runner
personally I love the stressful fun of wario land 4, trying to escape in time. Would be nice to see that again with a theme that gives the same feeling as wario land 4's hurry up, while being different.
Hmm, you dislike the frog switch in Wario Land 4? That's a large part of what makes it so unqiue, it brings out the devs' creativity a lot. I love the mad rush back to the start, and how levels can change with the switch. I adore the feature. Wario Land 4 is easily my fav
Wario Land 3 is my absolute favorite GBC game, and Wario Land 4 is equally soaked in nostalgic memories. I LOVE this franchise and keep hoping with each new year that maybe this’ll be the time the series resurfaces. Heck, if Advance Wars can re-emerge from the abyss with a remake, why not our garlic boi?
I've been waiting and hoping for years now ever since The Switch was release for a new Wario Land game to come out. They really need to bring it back, It's been far too long and I really do not care for the WarioWare series. Isola for a remake of the Virtual Boy Wario or a sequel of Wario World, But I'm definitely okay for a new Wario Land game. Who knows maybe Good-Feel Co might bring the series back someday. Also every time when a Nintendo Direct is announced I always hope they announce a brand new Wario Land game.
I disagree with you about WarioWare because I've been wanting a Switch entry for the longest. WarioWare Gold was pretty great, but Nintendo really should've launched a WarioWare game with the Switch instead of 1-2 Switch. But I like your ideas!
Demeech yeah, 1 2 Switch should’ve been the Wii Sports of the Switch, as a stand-alone title, lol, Nintendo should honestly use WarioWare as a fun way to show all gimmicks and controls the console has, it was that way for Touched, Smooth Moves, Gold, and even Games and Wario, with the likes of Twisted and DIY doing something on their own and still working like a charm ( Twisted with the gyroscope add on, and DIY with a level/music/comic strip creator and online sharing)
@@jaretco6423 The reason why Wario was created to begin with is because Nintendo R and D 1 wanted to make their own platformer series, and Wario was the easiest way to due it with the hardware limitations of the gameboy. However the hardware limitations are over, and Nintendo R and D 1 has been shutdown. So Nintendo no longer has any need for Wario compared to Mario and Metroid.
I’ve seen gameplay of Virtual boy Wario Land and my favorite feature in the game is that you can combine two power ups (i.e. eagle + sea dragon = king dragon) to make a new and stronger power up. It’s a cool idea that I like to see in more platformers.
I loved Warioland 3 for the wackiness of the adventure, and 4 for the art direction. Your idea for a remake of Warioland on VB sounds quite good: we can only wait and see :P

(Wario places a bouquet of flowers on Cuphead’s tombstone) Wario: You’ll always a be remembered in a the hearts of many. (Sheds a tear) You’ll a influence a new generation of programmers.
We (Wario Land fans) have to organize somehow, on facebook fan page or twitter account(probably both) to promote the idea of remake, beacuse hashtags from few fans are definitely not enough to get Ninendo's attention. I see at least one video per year about this series on youtube, and every time people in comments are like "yeah we need new Wario game" and... that all. I have no idea how much fans(usually already adult fans) could be mobilized to do that, but in my opinion there is no other way, we need a lot of peoples. And by the way, for me it's very difficult to choose only one favorite Wario Land game, because i love all of them and every single are unique on some way. Wario Land 2 was my first gameboy game ever and i have the biggest sentiment to this one, so that would propably be my choice.
Nintendo is not that consistent with most of their franchises. Besides staples like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, and Kirby that appear on every console and handheld, they tend to forget about past characters. What happened to F-Zero? Starfox? Is Punch-Out coming back... again? Is MOTHER even a thing anymore? I could go on. Usually these franchises will have a strong run for a few consecutive generations, and then Nintendo will focus on new IP's. Excitebike was a thing on the NES and then it just disappeared. Years later we got 3 Excitebike games on the Wii, only for the series to vanish again. I've learned to just appreciate what we get from the big N. Wario Land took up the platforming mantle where Mario left off, and was an incredible showcase of ingenuity and level design. I had a lot of fun with it, and Shake-It ended on a high note. Will we see more Wario adventures? Who knows. Only time will tell.
I think it’s dumb that they made captain toad and you hunt for treasure whenever it’s literally Wario’s whole thing, I think they should either make a new Wario land game or make something like a Wario odyssey where you go across the world and look for treasure
I prefer Wario games more than Mario. At least Wario games are way more creative and don't follow the one and the same cliché "rescue the princess" plot.
Maybe they can make another Warioland Game and have Waluigi as a playable character! (And they should actually give Waluigi his own game! Maybe a spin-off of Warioland!)
In Wario Land 1 if you pause the game and press the select button 16 times, you can change the amount of coins, lives and time (you have to hold the b button to move)
Y'see the sort of iffy thing about reviving the Wario Land series is just what approach they take, if they aimed for something like a reimagining of 2 or 3, a lot of people would like it, but others (like myself) prefer the more modernised style from 4 (with power downs, Keyzer and a Frog Switch at the end)
Great Video! I've never played any Wario Land games, but I've been meaning to pick up 4. I definitely think Nintendo could bring this back (or maybe Wario World?)
A Wario Land 5 in the style of Mario Wonder would be the best of both worlds but because of how non-kidfriendly the Wario Land series as a whole kind of is with its metroid style gameplay i cannot see it. I mean, it took them so many years to bring back metroid which is one of Nintendo's most iconic series. Wario Land just isn't advertisable which is a huge shame. Wario Land 3 is definetely my favourite in the series so even an official remake of this game would make me incredibly happy
If Nintendo is to revive Wario Land, it better do it soon, or it'll run the risk of Paper Mario's fate: being completely one-upped by indies. Pizza Tower is only a month away from release, and Anton Blast is going to be even MORE like Wario Land than that! However, both are shooting for emulating Land 4 more than anything, so maybe a return to Land 2 or 3 style would be a good move. Of course, they also need to be GOOD to count, since Paper Mario's state was due to skimping on quality, not quantity.
Great video! I got my start playing Super Mario Land & SML2 on my original yellow brick Gameboy. I absolutely loved Wario as the villain and as a character. I then fell in love with the Wario Land series, spending countless hours on WL2 in particular. Since buying my switch in 2017, I've lived in hope that Nintendo would take advantage of the joycons and re-release Shake Dimension. My kids are 4 and 6 and have recently become massive mario fans and it's rekindled my passion for Wario Land. I really hope they revisit Wario in the near future. Really interesting about the Virtual Boy version as I'd never even heard of it before and it looks great!
#BringBackWarioLand *I love this series!! I would love if Nintendo made a HD Remake Collection of the first 5 Wario Land games!! (not including Wario Land: Shake It!, because it needs its own Deluxe Edition instead)
I think of the most important things the Wario Land games had was looking weird and out of place. With Wario Land 4 being the best example with the worlds and creatures looking grotesque. Wario Land Shake It is a nice looking game don't get me wrong, but it was missing that style from the old games. Wario World did have some weirdness and creepiness to it, but the gameplay wasn't that amazing. Master of Disguise was just boring and easily forgettable. And Wario Ware is a completely different franchise for Wario.
Its a shame Wario was pushed only on gameboy and they didn't make a full Wario World game in this style on big consoles like Super Mario World back then. The newer Warioware games are really fun but I would love a full on Wario World game. Yoshi and Luigi have their own games, its about time Wario got an actual action game on a big system. Switch would be PERFECT for a big Wario game. If not Super Mario World style than they should do a Wario game in Mario 64/Luigis Mansion style. Wario is one of the more interesting Mario villains and they could really build on his story. Why did he become bad, how exactly is he related to Mario/Luigi?
Anyone else wish they would make a Virtual Boy classic where they add colors and allow people to choose between the original, beige, or color sprites along with releasing some of the unreleased games such as the Mario platformer?
Nice, I'd prefer a game that takes more inspiration from 4. I'd want Wario have a health meter and not be invulnerable but still have some enemies or objects that transform Wario instead of hurting him. I'd prefer to have Wario be vulnerable since it adds to the stakes and adds a bit of challenge. My personal top 3 Wario Land games are 1. 4 2. Shake It 3. Virtual Boy
The problem with having both transformations and damage is that it may be a little unfair to newcomers that don’t really know what transforms Wario and what hurts him. If I didn’t knew WL4 already before playing it myself I would’ve never guessed that the arrows don’t hurt and instead inflate you. A new game should have some kind of way to Telegraph what attacks actually hurt. Maybe they should color-code it, maybe give only the hurtful enemies/ attacks a red outline or something
This retrospective was very informative, you could try to improve your emphasis when ending sentences, also at 16:55 you say "because of how animated he is". Do you mean how good the animation is? Another thing is the structure of your video, you jump between reviewing the games and fanboying VB Warioland quite a bit ;) Gotta pay attention to stuff like that but from the actual content this was pretty well made. My favorite has to be WL4 because its just an amazing game in itself, the creativity, the atmosphere, the music is still unmatched today. Btw you mentioned Master of Disguise, what do you think of that? I think it carried over a lot of the creative ideas but felt more than the by then mainstream perception of Wario like from Smash, kind of a shame. But yeah good thing people still care about Wario. This made me realize how good the games are, so thanks!
Thank you for the constructive criticism. I will definitely try to improve upon that. When I said "animated" I mean it in a way like he's a cartoon character. If you look at the 2D Mario games, Mario doesn't have personality. But Wario does. You can see Wario wink while doing the shoulder dash in Wario Land 3. I have yet to play Master of Disguise. Been trying to get my hands on it, but haven't been able to find it. I'll update you once I do find it.
Warioland 1, 2 and 3 are the three games I've enjoyed most, anf I still have them on my GB & GBC. One game you forgot to mention is Warioworld, although, it's a 3D platforming game.
There are black box NES games that were brought back not because of nostalgia, but because they were part of Nintendo's history, regardless of how well they sold back then. In other words, Nintendo made sure to add the black box games to Switch Online first because they were the first games to come out on NES, even if the only one people played the most back then was Super Mario Bros. I'm glad we have Zelda, Metroid, Punch Out, ect. It's missing a lot of good games still, but i think since Switch Online started, they added some real gems. I think people get upset though when games are added that nobody cares about. I totally understand that. Same goes for SNES. I hear that Game Boy is being added soon to Switch Online. That's good because the Game Boy has a lot of good games that not many got to play because they stuck with consoles instead of handhelds. Wario Land games still have a shot. They can still come back. But not if Nintendo only adds the usual crap.
New one would be nice, but if Nintendo is lazy they could do Wario All-stars which would have all the land games (my favorite is 4) P.s. do you think it's weird they re-release Mario All-stars on the switch without mario world or Mario 3d stars without galaxy 2
The saddest thing is Sonic is trying to be a Mario clone. Due of NSMB success SEGA made infamous Sonic 4 and Sonic Lost World, which is considered as Super Mario Galaxy rip-off. Despite SLW didn't sell well, SEGA keep following this way, hence more frequent appearance of Zetis and Classic Sonic in later games.
I played pretty much all Wario Land games up to 4 in order back when I was a kid, but my friends and me played way more Wario Land 3. After some time I was able to play Wario Land 4 back then and I think to this day, even if Wario Land 3 is my favorite in terms of nostalgia, I think Wario Land 4 on its core is objectively better. There are obviously some aspects Wario Land 2 and 3 were superior to 4 which were exploration (world map), collectibles and sound design (example is how Wario's dash attack sounds way better and has a lot more details to it in 3 than 4, but most likely this is because of memory limitations and deadlines and they decided to prioritize sprite art details); but even after that, 4 was able to capture 2 and 3 uniquiness, added way better gameplay and created the rush time-limit mechanic which in my opinion wasn't a negative point plus Wario felt more powerful and faster with its new move and the game even emphasized this Ren and Stimpy'ish humor that fit with Wario a little too well. If a new Wario Land comes, I hope 2, 3 (exploration, collectibles and interactive world map) and 4 (animations, smooth and fast paced gameplay, puzzles and level design) are being considered as key parts.
I don't think that there is any reason why nintendo shouldn't release a new wario land series, But I think if there is a reason behind that , maybe it's just how selfish Shigeru is , and maybe jealous of Hiroji Kiyotake the creator of wario land series. Cuz I can't think of anything else !
I think they stopped making them because most of the original Wario Land team left the company. I'm pretty sure Shake It was made by none of the people from the original team.
For me, the Wario Land 1 and 4 are the ones I've enjoyed the most. 2 felt meh at first, but I'm slowly starting to like it more. I already like the 3 a lot, but I still have a lot to do in it. Virtual Boy one and Shake Dimension are the ones I've not yet played at this point.
NES Nostalgia isn't annoying many people, what's annoying people is the fact that Nintendo is slowly drip feeding NES Nostalgia when we know they have access to a huge library in digital form.
I dont really have any wario land games, i do have the original game on my 3ds. EDIT: I've recently gotten wario land 2 and 3, i haven't played the 3rd game yet but even i just started wario land 2 i freaking love the series. We need wario land back! #bringbackwarioland

10:23 there was also Wario World on the GC
Demeech:wario land shake it is the only wario game to appear in a home console
Wario world:i’m going to end this whole man’s career
Nintendo is not that consistent with most of their franchises. Besides staples like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, and Kirby that appear on every console and handheld, they tend to forget about past characters. What happened to F-Zero? Starfox? Is Punch-Out coming back... again? Is MOTHER even a thing anymore? I could go on. Usually these franchises will have a strong run for a few consecutive generations, and then Nintendo will focus on new IP's. Excitebike was a thing on the NES and then it just disappeared. Years later we got 3 Excitebike games on the Wii, only for the series to vanish again. I've learned to just appreciate what we get from the big N. Wario Land took up the platforming mantle where Mario left off, and was an incredible showcase of ingenuity and level design. I had a lot of fun with it, and Shake-It ended on a high note. Will we see more Wario adventures? Who knows. Only time will tell.

I think it’s dumb that they made captain toad and you hunt for treasure whenever it’s literally Wario’s whole thing, I think they should either make a new Wario land game or make something like a Wario odyssey where you go across the world and look for treasure
Now that Pizza Tower exists, this video has aged all the better.
Dragon Hat/Wario, not Gator hat. Dragons shoot fire. Even the manual is called "Dragon Pot" "Dragon Wario"
You're right! I should've checked that. Guess I just see anything like that as a gator. Just look at my avatar.
Always remember
Wario land 4 is the greatest achievement
I prefer Wario games more than Mario. At least Wario games are way more creative and don't follow the one and the same cliché "rescue the princess" plot.
You got me at Waluigi co op
Maybe they can make another Warioland Game and have Waluigi as a playable character!
(And they should actually give Waluigi his own game! Maybe a spin-off of Warioland!)
In Wario Land 1 if you pause the game and press the select button 16 times, you can change the amount of coins, lives and time (you have to hold the b button to move)
Y'see the sort of iffy thing about reviving the Wario Land series is just what approach they take, if they aimed for something like a reimagining of 2 or 3, a lot of people would like it, but others (like myself) prefer the more modernised style from 4 (with power downs, Keyzer and a Frog Switch at the end)
There was a warrior world on game cube. It wasn’t referenced
Great Video! I've never played any Wario Land games, but I've been meaning to pick up 4. I definitely think Nintendo could bring this back (or maybe Wario World?)
4 is the worst one in my opinion. 3 is the best. However, that's just my personal preference.
@@James-MexiKop 4 is my favorite
I'll pick up WL3 for sure! Does anyone know how to play it in 2022 besides buying a Gameboy?
The first game that I played was Wario Land 4. It lies in a special place of my heart.
A Wario Land 5 in the style of Mario Wonder would be the best of both worlds but because of how non-kidfriendly the Wario Land series as a whole kind of is with its metroid style gameplay i cannot see it. I mean, it took them so many years to bring back metroid which is one of Nintendo's most iconic series. Wario Land just isn't advertisable which is a huge shame. Wario Land 3 is definetely my favourite in the series so even an official remake of this game would make me incredibly happy
Wario Land 2 has a special place in my heart.
If Nintendo is to revive Wario Land, it better do it soon, or it'll run the risk of Paper Mario's fate: being completely one-upped by indies. Pizza Tower is only a month away from release, and Anton Blast is going to be even MORE like Wario Land than that!
However, both are shooting for emulating Land 4 more than anything, so maybe a return to Land 2 or 3 style would be a good move.
Of course, they also need to be GOOD to count, since Paper Mario's state was due to skimping on quality, not quantity.
Shake it was great and the disguise game was weird
How was Master of Disguise weird?
Demeech how aren’t all of the wario games “weird”. But mainly bc the mechanic when you want to disguise not to mention the touch pad was pretty wonky
Have you played the Wario Land Virtual Boy game?
Yes I have! On an actual Virtual Boy at that. It's a hidden gem and I wish more people could play it.
10:08 the council shall decide your fate.
I would like to see a compilation with ALL the Wario Land games. Unfortunately, making compilations isn't a very Nintendo thing to do.
I Love the escape sequence in wario land 4 and shake it
Wario Land was developed by the same division of Nintendo that made a few of the Metroid games
Even a Metroid game had the same engine as Wario Land 4.
@@MATAM29 Yeah exactly!
Unrelated but 40 Below Fridge looks like the ice area from Metroid Prime
It's no wonder both Wario Land & Metroid are 2 of my favorite flagship from Nintendo.
Great video! I got my start playing Super Mario Land & SML2 on my original yellow brick Gameboy. I absolutely loved Wario as the villain and as a character. I then fell in love with the Wario Land series, spending countless hours on WL2 in particular. Since buying my switch in 2017, I've lived in hope that Nintendo would take advantage of the joycons and re-release Shake Dimension. My kids are 4 and 6 and have recently become massive mario fans and it's rekindled my passion for Wario Land. I really hope they revisit Wario in the near future. Really interesting about the Virtual Boy version as I'd never even heard of it before and it looks great!
Okay, here me out on this idea:
What if we had a crossover of between two game franchises:
Warioland and Shantae
Why do you sound like the policeman in south park
Because I am Officer Barbrady
@@Demeech really?
Never once did I ever hear anybody called the dragon hat, a gator hat
Don't know much about wario land so this video was very informative. Now I gotta play these games. Thanks!
#BringBackWarioLand *I love this series!! I would love if Nintendo made a HD Remake Collection of the first 5 Wario Land games!! (not including Wario Land: Shake It!, because it needs its own Deluxe Edition instead)
I think it needs a new game first, then remakes.
@@Demeech neh flip that order ye
i know its not the "land" series but Wario world is great game and my favorite. They should bring back the "world" series also.
audio sounded a bit choppy, with some pops
curious also, how did you record tiger gameplay from the GBC?
Tiger gameplay?
I think of the most important things the Wario Land games had was looking weird and out of place. With Wario Land 4 being the best example with the worlds and creatures looking grotesque. Wario Land Shake It is a nice looking game don't get me wrong, but it was missing that style from the old games. Wario World did have some weirdness and creepiness to it, but the gameplay wasn't that amazing. Master of Disguise was just boring and easily forgettable. And Wario Ware is a completely different franchise for Wario.
Great video. WL1 Was my first game and I love the series.
I would like to see a sequel to Wario World
Wario Land 4 is My Favorite.
Its a shame Wario was pushed only on gameboy and they didn't make a full Wario World game in this style on big consoles like Super Mario World back then. The newer Warioware games are really fun but I would love a full on Wario World game. Yoshi and Luigi have their own games, its about time Wario got an actual action game on a big system. Switch would be PERFECT for a big Wario game. If not Super Mario World style than they should do a Wario game in Mario 64/Luigis Mansion style. Wario is one of the more interesting Mario villains and they could really build on his story. Why did he become bad, how exactly is he related to Mario/Luigi?
This year, can you do Wario land origins please?
Anyone else wish they would make a Virtual Boy classic where they add colors and allow people to choose between the original, beige, or color sprites along with releasing some of the unreleased games such as the Mario platformer?
That's something that would've been perfect on the 3DS.
Antonblast and Pizza Tower Say hello
It's... like... not Wario Land... and stuff?????
Wario Land VB may be worth emulating. It's one of many games that I can't obtain by normal means either being too expensive, rare or region-locked.
Nice, I'd prefer a game that takes more inspiration from 4. I'd want Wario have a health meter and not be invulnerable but still have some enemies or objects that transform Wario instead of hurting him. I'd prefer to have Wario be vulnerable since it adds to the stakes and adds a bit of challenge. My personal top 3 Wario Land games are
1. 4
2. Shake It
3. Virtual Boy
The problem with having both transformations and damage is that it may be a little unfair to newcomers that don’t really know what transforms Wario and what hurts him. If I didn’t knew WL4 already before playing it myself I would’ve never guessed that the arrows don’t hurt and instead inflate you. A new game should have some kind of way to Telegraph what attacks actually hurt. Maybe they should color-code it, maybe give only the hurtful enemies/ attacks a red outline or something

If New Super Mario Bros. didnt exist, would Wario have taken over the Mario franchise as a whole?
This retrospective was very informative, you could try to improve your emphasis when ending sentences, also at 16:55 you say "because of how animated he is". Do you mean how good the animation is? Another thing is the structure of your video, you jump between reviewing the games and fanboying VB Warioland quite a bit ;) Gotta pay attention to stuff like that but from the actual content this was pretty well made. My favorite has to be WL4 because its just an amazing game in itself, the creativity, the atmosphere, the music is still unmatched today. Btw you mentioned Master of Disguise, what do you think of that? I think it carried over a lot of the creative ideas but felt more than the by then mainstream perception of Wario like from Smash, kind of a shame.
But yeah good thing people still care about Wario. This made me realize how good the games are, so thanks!
Thank you for the constructive criticism. I will definitely try to improve upon that. When I said "animated" I mean it in a way like he's a cartoon character. If you look at the 2D Mario games, Mario doesn't have personality. But Wario does. You can see Wario wink while doing the shoulder dash in Wario Land 3. I have yet to play Master of Disguise. Been trying to get my hands on it, but haven't been able to find it. I'll update you once I do find it.
Idk why Nintendo never released Wario Land 5 It's Kind Of Sad..
Wario Land II and III are masterpieces.
Warioland 1, 2 and 3 are the three games I've enjoyed most, anf I still have them on my GB & GBC. One game you forgot to mention is Warioworld, although, it's a 3D platforming game.
I disagree with you. I like the Timer mechanic in Warioland 4.. Though its triggering my anxiety slightly, it's thrilling and exciting!
Wow wario had ground pound before mario
I just noticed that the sprite work in the Virtual Boy Wario Land is prety damn good.
There are black box NES games that were brought back not because of nostalgia, but because they were part of Nintendo's history, regardless of how well they sold back then. In other words, Nintendo made sure to add the black box games to Switch Online first because they were the first games to come out on NES, even if the only one people played the most back then was Super Mario Bros. I'm glad we have Zelda, Metroid, Punch Out, ect. It's missing a lot of good games still, but i think since Switch Online started, they added some real gems. I think people get upset though when games are added that nobody cares about. I totally understand that. Same goes for SNES. I hear that Game Boy is being added soon to Switch Online. That's good because the Game Boy has a lot of good games that not many got to play because they stuck with consoles instead of handhelds. Wario Land games still have a shot. They can still come back. But not if Nintendo only adds the usual crap.
New one would be nice, but if Nintendo is lazy they could do Wario All-stars which would have all the land games (my favorite is 4)
P.s. do you think it's weird they re-release Mario All-stars on the switch without mario world or Mario 3d stars without galaxy 2
Очень грустно что Нинтендо не делает новые игры из этой серии и даже старые игры не переиздаёт.
The saddest thing is Sonic is trying to be a Mario clone. Due of NSMB success SEGA made infamous Sonic 4 and Sonic Lost World, which is considered as Super Mario Galaxy rip-off. Despite SLW didn't sell well, SEGA keep following this way, hence more frequent appearance of Zetis and Classic Sonic in later games.
Hell yes I do want a new Warioland game I tweeted your video on Twitter. I tagged Nintendo and put #BringBackWarioLand
“At first I thought 2 was too slow paced.”
You should play Shake it! some more. Just a completely unrelated note.
Do you think there's a afterlife?
I really want to make a spiritual successor series based on 2 and 3 with elements of 4. But I’m afraid there just isn’t a big demand honestly
Wow I learned quite a bit from this video! :)
I played pretty much all Wario Land games up to 4 in order back when I was a kid, but my friends and me played way more Wario Land 3. After some time I was able to play Wario Land 4 back then and I think to this day, even if Wario Land 3 is my favorite in terms of nostalgia, I think Wario Land 4 on its core is objectively better. There are obviously some aspects Wario Land 2 and 3 were superior to 4 which were exploration (world map), collectibles and sound design (example is how Wario's dash attack sounds way better and has a lot more details to it in 3 than 4, but most likely this is because of memory limitations and deadlines and they decided to prioritize sprite art details); but even after that, 4 was able to capture 2 and 3 uniquiness, added way better gameplay and created the rush time-limit mechanic which in my opinion wasn't a negative point plus Wario felt more powerful and faster with its new move and the game even emphasized this Ren and Stimpy'ish humor that fit with Wario a little too well. If a new Wario Land comes, I hope 2, 3 (exploration, collectibles and interactive world map) and 4 (animations, smooth and fast paced gameplay, puzzles and level design) are being considered as key parts.
Wario Land has to Come back. Wario Land is the Best Nintendo Series.
Wario & Waluigi: Warioland 5, dam that would be a great idea. We didn't get Waluigi on Smash but hey, he's here to WAAAH along with his best pal!
I want anothor wario land game i have not played any wario land game but i want to
I don't think that there is any reason why nintendo shouldn't release a new wario land series, But I think if there is a reason behind that , maybe it's just how selfish Shigeru is , and maybe jealous of Hiroji Kiyotake
the creator of wario land series. Cuz I can't think of anything else !
I think they stopped making them because most of the original Wario Land team left the company. I'm pretty sure Shake It was made by none of the people from the original team.
For me, the Wario Land 1 and 4 are the ones I've enjoyed the most.
2 felt meh at first, but I'm slowly starting to like it more. I already like the 3 a lot, but I still have a lot to do in it.
Virtual Boy one and Shake Dimension are the ones I've not yet played at this point.
NES Nostalgia isn't annoying many people, what's annoying people is the fact that Nintendo is slowly drip feeding NES Nostalgia when we know they have access to a huge library in digital form.
I dont really have any wario land games, i do have the original game on my 3ds.
EDIT: I've recently gotten wario land 2 and 3, i haven't played the 3rd game yet but even i just started wario land 2 i freaking love the series.
We need wario land back!
