Thanks for the welcome! I found this site out of morbid curiousity (online search of "wario forum") a while back actually. After some snooping as an anon, only now have I decided to formally introduce myself as a member, since I just keep returning to Wario like an old friend.

I enjoy a lot of the Lands fairly closely, but 3 is my favorite and one of my favorite games I've played. I just revisited it and it still feels like a total package. I also have very fond memories of D.I.Y. despite never using the online functions, just making my own games was fun enough.

Thank you for the welcome!! I've played a wide variety of games in my day, but it's tough to pinpoint what I'm playing right now. I still have a Switch but it's mostly decorating my entertainment center, unless I feel like touring my Animal Crossing island. Sometimes I'll boot up my PS2 collection on my computer to check out something; I have a lot of series and titles I still want to try. I often like to replay my favorites every couple of years... a few I can name off my head are Cave Story, the original Luigi's Mansion, and of course WL3.
An oddity of my personality is that the more popular a game is, the less I desire to play it. So I also enjoy looking for more obscure stuff. I'm trying to dabble into horror games, a genre I've avoided, and my first outing was with the Dreamcast's Illbleed, which I loved a lot. I also feel this way with a lot of Treasure's games outside of the more popular ones. Maybe I gravitate towards the lesser known because it feels like discovering something nobody else can inform me about.
I would say right now I'm actually making games more than playing them! I have a project in Godot I'm chipping away at that is actually somewhat Wario-like... but that's all I'm saying on it. I like to keep my big projects private to not give anyone expectations I can't live up to.

Well developing my game solo has put me on the path of researching all the aspects that go into a game! Coding is something I've been drawn to since my youth thanks to a fancy little website called Scratch, and I also enjoy various forms of art, mainly 3D modeling and sculpting with clay, which I've both been implementing into my project. I also like writing, maybe a little too much, and I'm currently trying to read more informal books.
Hey, I too got introduced to coding (and game making in general) with Scrach. Such an awesome site!
Either way, do you prefer Wario Land of Ware? Or do you think both are as good in their own regards?

I overall prefer Land and have more to say and think about it, but I do also appreciate the Ware games and think they make up a package deal that is Wario. I don't gel with the opinion that Wario used to be this cool, macho tough guy in Land who got turned into a joke in Ware, because he is also very silly in a lot of those Land games. I think him being a game developer with an evergrowing gaggle of misfits working for him is a fun direction for his character, and the microgames themselves very much carry on R&D1's passion for presenting whatever wacky ideas they could think of.

My first games were a five-pack of Namco arcade titles, in the form of this plug n' play box:
I was particularly fond of Dig Dug... after that however, you'd think I would get some actual consoles? Not quite. The first machine I grew accustomed to playing games on was the family computer, and my childhood overlapped with the popular era of Flash games, so that's what tied me over before I got a Wii and 3DS later on. I learned more about Mario from fan games than what Nintendo themselves were putting out!
