    Transformations you wish appeared in more games?

    Our old boy Wario was a true rebel. There was never a "Super Wario" in WL-SML3 or VBWL. Being big was his default state ("Wario") and taking damage shrunk him down to "Small Wario" (but he'd always return to normal size after clearing a course... the clever bastard).

    How should future Wario Land games do map screens?

    I would personally like to see a real-deal treasure map, with Wario actively charting his journey by hand as he goes, marking his progress much like the classic fictional treasure hunters did (like Donald Duck, who used the one below in the classic QuackShot for Mega Drive). Wario's map could...

    Yes, I think it's just what the doctor ordered. Nobody here seems interested, but once they see my ideas in action... Hohoh! I just hope I can show Pigmask my work. I don't expect him to return, but his Youtube channel is slightly active, so I'd love to contact him and have the pair of you trial...

    Do most developers actually care about game design?

    Depends on a company's circumstances, as well. For example, RARE put out their share of stinkers when it came to licensed games, and they are regarded as one of the most passionate firms in the history of western developers. Former employees have said that during the 80's and early 90's, RARE's...

    Do most developers actually care about game design?

    In the old days, the quality of a licensed game sometimes depended on the developers' attitude on the source material. Some software houses would put out a shoddy product for one franchise, then a decent product for another. Over the years I've read recounts from old British developers about...

    After much deliberation, I have once again decided to try my hand at building an ultimate classic Wario fighter for MUGEN. Now, I know the whole MUGEN fad is ancient history and the community is not what it once was, but it's still a brilliant game/fighting engine with endless potential. My...

    Do you have any pet peeves?

    Heh... You don't mean this old thing, do you? I remember visiting this site endlessly and watching all the boss videos in I.T. class at high school. Hahah! Great days... http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/warioworld/enGB/

    BlueJackG's Wario Music

    This is great! I love this one. It was always one of my favourite tracks from the game. It's the first track you hear when you boot up the game, and it really draws you in to Wario's everyday antics. "Wario in Town" is also a great title, since this theme would be perfect for Wario stomping down...

    Is Wario Land 4 basically a 'perfect game'?

    Yeah, I reckon it comes down to the bizarre, twisted designs in WL4, along with some of the demented music and sinister cues, like the Hurry Up!/Escape theme, or the main pyramid map and boss passage. Very ominous and atmospheric. The entire Sound Room was a complete anomaly back in 2001 and a...

    What's a series you like/love but you don't want to admit it?

    I thought the Mythbusters finally packed it in a year or two ago? Or are they still active together in some small capacity? Could've sworn I watched a grand finale or breakup episode.

    What's a series you like/love but you don't want to admit it?

    Terrific post, TB! No need to apologise, I enjoy scaling walls of text (I'm more guilty of building walls here than anyone else). The way Britt and her crew tailored the whole world of Sodor reminds me of how I used to build little landscapes, roads, tunnels, etc., outside in the dirt and sand...

    Is Wario Land 4 basically a 'perfect game'?

    You betcha. WL3 had some great bosses, and a few of the enemies were in line with the rest of the series as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't think any Wario Land is 'dark', I was responding to Les' comment about the other games having a more cartoony/colourful artstyle than WL4. As far as...

    My apologies, folks. I just had to get that off my chest. You know how vital dates are.

    Is Wario Land 4 basically a 'perfect game'?

    Virtual Boy Wario Land was just as 'dark' as WL4. In fact, WL4 takes most of its story and ideas from VBWL! Why do people here pretend it doesn't exist? Wario Land 3 was sensational, but the baddies were a step down from the previous three games. Who else thought most of 'em looked less...

    I was thinking a Desert Island Discs format would be great, but this works better than stopping the interview for music selections. You just need to refine your style and iron out a few interviewing faux pas. A great idea would be to watch the greats regularly, like Parkinson, and pay attention...

    I'd like to clobber the fool who thought they'd be all unique and mess with the clean, traditional day/month/year system. I cannot tell you how many times I've been misled with important/historic dates because of that stupid month/day/year rubbish. For example, the 12/01/18 can mean January or...

    What changed so radically, Jack? I thought maybe you'd broken up with your girl and just got tired and frustrated with life. As far as the forums go, I got pretty miserable after the Colonel left. I really miss that fella. He was such a knowledgeable guy with music and animation... but he was...
