Well I must apologize because looking back, I was running my keyboard a bit... I think I meant to say I like Treasure as a whole, rather than specifically their more obscure games, some of which I've yet to try. I may have just been thinking of how "fallen to the wayside" they are as a company...

There's a lot of fair complaints here. The only thing I somewhat question is if his humiliation in Move It is deserved, since he was ultimately still trying to steal the relics of quite possibly the only unevil deity he has come across. I do think it goes a little far with him being so upset by...

Some sort of concoction of always returning to Wario (at least some of those Land games and Ware D.I.Y.), having a lot to say with not many people to listen, and a yearning to browse a good-old fashioned online forum! Though seeing the activity from almost a decade ago now makes me wish I got...

Addition that I initially forgot about: Wario also wears the helmet in one more game released two years after its debut and one year after VB Wario Land, that being the Japan-exclusive Picross 2 for Game Boy. Notably, he is a main character of the game alongside Mario, who dons an archaeologist...

In Wario's very first appearance as the main villain of Super Mario Land 2, the big guy fully embraced copying his rival as part of his attempt to usurp him. This is immediately evident in his look: he has the mustache, the buttoned-up overalls, the gloves, and of course a cap with the first...

5 equals 6 minus 1!

Wahoo, that's a nice variety of questions! I'll answer each one under a spoiler to not bury anyone below us in too much text... Thanks for all the interesting questions!!

The main gameplay gimmick of the latest WarioWare title, Move It!, returns to the "motion-controlled remote" focus initially found in WarioWare Smooth Moves, and the game is more directly acknowledged as a successor in its Japanese title. Is there another previously used WarioWare gimmick that...

My life is a cycle: I eat some delish sweet relish. Years pass without eating it. I finally get an opportunity to try it again. Repeat!

I doubt Wario will be getting quite the same appreciation in the adaption plans as DK has, mainly because I would call DK an overall more important and recognizable character in the Mario franchise. That said, I think we will be seeing the man himself in one of the upcoming movie sequels, if not...

I would say most of the final bosses in Wario platformers feel like antagonists; even though most of the games don't have a heavy focus on showcasing the villains throughout the story, there is a lot that implies their actions behind the scenes. Syrup being a pirate captain naturally...

That is a fair point; Cannoli is moreso implied to be a master thief thanks to the help of Goodstyle, who he is immediately separated from for the whole game once it starts, thus having to resort to technology. Meanwhile Carpaccio is more of a shady businessman. I feel the mini-games and more...

I recently dusted off my 3DS and discovered, thank goodness, my save data for one particular Wario game I wanted to finish was still intact! I had some time to kill that day, so I finished the main story and tried the bonus levels... and what do you know, Ilini has some things to say about it...

Yes, I did initially upload it to Reddit back when I finished it! I was a much more shameful person then, plus I'm just not a big fan of Reddit as a whole. I'm happier sharing it in a more focused community like this one. Glad you like it!

The inner cover was moreso intended to be a nostalgic callback (this is Wario's golden return after all) and not indicative of how the game itself would look. I imagined the artstyle of this game would most reasonably be a more advanced version of the newer WarioWares', with not quite the same...

A few years ago now (aaaAAH!), I found a template for a Nintendo Switch game's cover that let you make your own custom art. It was likely intended to be used for replacing missing boxart or making custom art for an existing game... but I got a little more creative with a blank case I had, and...

I can't begin to imagine how complicated it must be to create a program like this, let alone for a game with such a meticulous progression system... so I'll just say seeing features like custom warps, changing the map paths and tying treasures to other locations, are akin to magic in my eyes...

That is a fair, albeit frustrating point. I would say there are a lot of elements in 3 that are more polished than what II introduced, but that would be a sad reason to favor one game that is similar but still different from another. Even if I prefer 3's approach to the reaction mechanic, I...

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...

With Nintendo recently announcing, of all things, adding the Virtual Boy's entire library to the Nintendo Classics collection, I thought this would be a good time to discuss a topic that's been on my mind. It definitely seems like Nintendo has been acknowledging the entire Wario Land series...
