It’s certainly high time. And yet, it comes as no surprise: the attention classic Wario has received over the last 16 months has been truly remarkable. I’m really happy about it.

It does. All the attention Wario has been receiving lately is no coincidence. Wario Land images for Nintendo Online in august 2025. Four added classic Wario games to Nintendo online since february 2025. Special trailer in several languages for Wario World in december 2025. Information about a...

First of all it was good to read that there will be even a brand new Wario Land in 2027 and not just a remake. I remember Luigi's Mansion got a remake for Nintendo 3DS before the brand new Luigi's Mansion 3 came for Nintendo Switch. Maybe Wario Land could also first get a remake and after that...

Virtual Boy Wario Land box is only with manual. Other games are still original closed. The Wario car is made of paper.

It's pretty clear a Switch remake would need transformations. So as not to have to change the levels I would use only attack-enhancing transformations like in the first Wario Land and Virtual Boy Wario Land. And I would add more modes like a harder mode: Captain Syrup could shoot on Wario with...

This is really no surprise and was to be expected. The question was more when it would happen, not if. The last five WarioWare games sold bad: Only Get It Together did reach the million mark barely. Then there were four added classic Wario games to Nintendo online during the last 14 months and...

In the last 12 months, we've received four games on Nintendo Switch Online: Wario Land 4, Mario & Wario, Wario World, and Virtual Boy Wario Land. That is very noticeable. The situation was similar with Donkey Kong before the release of the Donkey Kong Country Returns port: four Donkey Kong games...

There will be cheaper hardware made of cardboard for 20 $. But it looks like we need a hardware for playing Virtual Boy games. At the moment no one knows how the VB games will look without hardware.

I forgot to mention that we also got Mario & Wario for Nintendo Online this year in october. So we got Wario Land 4 in february, Virtual Boy Wario Land announcement in september, we got Mario & Wario in october, Wario World in december and Wario icons from Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4 in...

I can understand that Nintendo didn't use the GBA connectivity in Zelda Wind Waker for Nintendo Online. That 2-Player-Coop probably would be to much work. But that they didn't use it in Wario World? We are talking about only 28 micro games. Such a pity, Wario World feels incomplete.

The GBA micro games are unlockable but not playable. That is a big shame. And the japanese fight against the black jewel is also not part of the game.

And now we have got Wario World for Switch Online too. 2025 is one of Wario's best years ever and I think that shows that Wario still is an important figure for Nintendo. I am sure this all is only the preparation for a Wario Land remake in 2026 for the old Nintendo Switch.

I hope the WarioWare micro games are playable even without the GBA connectivity and that there is the fight against the black jewel from the japanese version.

But to be honest 2025 was a relatively good year for Wario: in february we got Wario Land 4 for Switch Online. In august there were icons from Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4 for the Switch profile. In september Nintendo confirmed Virtual Boy Wario Land for Switch Online. In october there were...
