Wario's Back And After Treasure Once Again As Wario Land: The Shake Dimension Arrives In Europe
Get ready for a wave of nostalgia as Wario heads to Wii for his first dedicated adventure on the console! Prepare yourself for some classic Wario action as Wario Land: The Shake Dimension takes you on an epic and lush 2D platform adventure to seek out treasure, complete missions and, in a traditional Wario way, obtain as much money as you can! Prepare to defeat all the bandana-wearing pirates standing between you and your potential haul as this puzzle-filled adventure hits European shores on the 26th September 2008.
For me Wario has always been more of a favourite than Mario, scandalous I know! However, his greedy lust for treasure, stitch-inducing humour combined with his zany mustache and general bad-boy attitude set him apart from good ol' Mario. Wario has mostly been relegated to mini-games in his past appearances in the videogame world, and while these crazy mini-games are fun, mostly because of their downright silly and sometimes even completely absurd nature, it's nice to see him taking the spotlight in The Shake Dimension.
"Ignoring the Wii ware title Lost Winds, and the plethora of golden oldies available on the virtual console, this is the best 2D platform game available on the Wii. And if it's successful enough (and sales certainly haven't been disastrous so far) it may hopefully pave the way for similar franchises to receive brand new 2D adventures (Yoshi and Donkey Kong, we're looking at you)."
SG: "Wario is one of Nintendo's B-list characters. Initially conceived as another nemesis for Mario, he has evolved into a lazy character that's always on the search for treasure. Hell, it took three Smash Bros. games before he made an appearance. His platforming solo career has been largely based in the handheld sphere, with the exception being Wario World for Gamecube, a terrible brawler by Treasure that really doesn't deserve being mentioned. His second console platformer has also been handed off to another team, with developer Good-Feel at the helm. Does a return to Wario's 2D roots make for a better game?"
"It’s a B grade game"
If it's a B grade game, then why didn't it get a B grade?
