The thing with Wapeach as a concept to me is that I am not the biggest fan about how some approach it. Wario in terms of design is an exaggerated Mario and Waluigi naturally does the same for Luigi, since he in turn is very similar to Mario. With Peach you can't really do that, since she has a...

I usually feel very similar. Tennis Fever gets a pass from me because I find using them as a plot point to justify Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario and Waluigi relearning their skills, aka likely leveling up, pretty clever. In general I don't like them when they are just roster fillers, like Baby...

He's an absolute gremlin and I am here for it.

You may have heard of it as Renegade, Super Dodgeball, River City Ransom, River City Girls or any variant of it. It's Kunio-Kun, a series about a heroic, hot-blooded delinquent who gets into fights on the regular and participates in all manners of sports, most notably Dodgeball. I was always...

Despite the lack of Wario characters as usual, I think the Baseball games are strong contenders. In those you get: - A Wario World theme stadium that's a mix of his castle and Pecan Sands. - The blatantly Diamond City inspired Wario City. - The minigames for both Wario stadiums are themed...

WarioWare has a very defined formula and specific ways we see the cast play out their stories, with occasional diversions or content in other places. I'm curious to see which games everyone felt were the best and weakest for every character. My personal opinions are as follows: Lulu: Best...

As a native german speaker I've often liked to compare how games fare in terms of german and english and how they vary in how they are translated and as it turns out, the modern WarioWare games are some particularly noticable examples of it, as I have found some very major examples of...

I do find it all very intruiging. It's true re-releases are easier than new games, but it's the quantity of stuff that gets me. - Wario Land 4, Wario World and Mario & Wario all came to NSO this year, the former two with a fair bit of extra attention. - Virtual Boy Wario Land is set to follow...

While I still have my opinions of Move It and the Fart marketing obsession, the recent NSO Wario World release has been a step towards the proving me wrong that I wanted, because this is a trend now: Both Wario Land 4 and Wario World got re-released on their own, not as part of a wave and...

Not only is Wario World coming back, it gets all the spotlight to itself and even a silly, fun trailer to go with it. You love to see it, this is the kinda thing that's making me more hopeful better things are up ahead for Wario.

A big reason I warmed up to to the Ashley stuff is that it at least pushes something that's in the games. That is one of the many reasons the fart stuff BAFFLES me. The website and Nintendo Today are at the end of the day, means to promote their products and this weird fart obession really...

Yeah, I myself have softened on it considerably. While I still ideally want a more even-handed push, the Ashley stuff back then was promoting something much more widely appealing and healthy for WarioWare as a brand than the current fart obsession.

More than anything I also have to genuinely ask who the fart stuff is even for. Out of every franchise on Nintendo Today, Wario has the most baffling presence. Others get unique animations, preview content for upcoming releases, activities that are meant to engage with their casts in a fun way...

It's true that the poop stuff and so on existed on the old websites and I'm not a fan of that, but at it's core that is just Wario having a crass sense of humor and openly talk about stuff most would deem uncalled for. My main problem with those is more the complete lack of wit, especially...

It's the Wario's Aroma of the Day, that I mentioned in my post. A recurring feature based on the fart button from the WarioWare website, but expanded with additional ''flavors'' of farts, like ones where Wario rips his pants or shits himself. It's horrendous.
