WayForward just announced they are resurrecting a scrapped GBA Shantae game that will have a compatible cartridge. Imagine if Wario Land got that treatment.
The best crossover game with Wario representation is Dr. Mario 64. Most of the roster is made of Wario Land enemies. We got to select Rudy and Mad Scienstein. No other Mario game has ever put Wario characters in the roster like this.
During the NSMB and Mario Maker-era, Donkey Kong and Yoshi platformers were released, so a new Wario Land game could happen. I'm not too optimistic, but the latest Nintendo Direct showed that they can still surprise us. I never thought they would remake Super Mario RPG.
This is actually real. Waluigi had his own official mini-flash game for web browsers. It was never backed up, but the file name, image, and old posts of people talking about the game still exist.

It would be cool if they added new microgames based on a new character's theme, like playable Fronk and microgames that fitted to his character. I would buy the DLC if they made it, but it's way too late now.
Sometimes I think about how many weird doppelgangers/parallel rivals exist in the Mario Universe.
Mario has Wario and Foreman Spike.
Luigi has Waluigi
Yoshi has Boshi
Bowser has Midbus and Dark Bowser
Wario even has the Shake King, whose design parallels Wario's.
Jimmy T. has Jimmy P.
That's not...
It's finally out and it's fun. My favorite part of the game were the boss battles. It's neat that this Peppino doesn't take damage like WL2&3, but there is a health system during the boss fights.
I like how this game leans a bit into having a creepy atmosphere. If Nintendo ever makes a new...
