As requested by Glowsquid, here's the first bunch:

Treasure Tracker is actually a good example of how Nintendo operates. They didn't decide to do a Toad treasure hunting game specifically instead of a Wario one. They started with the base concept of a puzzle platformer where the character can't jump and what franchise to add came later. Very...

My most ideal pipedream selection of characters would be: - Sal Out - 13 Amp - Joe - Waluigi - Captain Syrup - Shokora - Wanda - Sarissa Just to go all the way with also adding characters from other Wario games as well. Not decided on how I'd expect them to play, but to make the pipedream even...

Leaving my impressions post from my blog here. Long story short: I am incredibly happy with this game, with the only major, significant bummer for me being the lack of online multiplayer and even that I honestly saw coming.

Vote with your wallet is a term more commonly used when it comes to boycotting something, but it very much holds weight the other way around as well. There is never a way to fully tell what influences Nintendo’s decisions, but a number of trends show a helpful picture: Fire Emblem got...

Wario manuals being amazing is no secret and here's something fun: From the american Wario Land 4 manual. Would already be fun on it's own, but then I took a look at a certain page in the Wario World manual again and, well: Never put the pieces together before, but this is Roachie, still...

Absolutely! It's a natural part of marketing to emphasize what would be particularly well recieved in any given region. Wario's love of talking about crass stuff being more crude and frequent in certain japanese marketing is a true statement. My issue is really more with how the article...

More then okay! I really appreciate getting this kind of context on materials I can't read due to language barrier. You're doing me a big favor by giving me even more material to adress!

I do feel like Gold doing well enough, despite being released in an atrocious time for new 3DS releases did, at the very least, restore some of Nintendo's faith in Wario. I'm not at Nintendo, so I wouldn't know, but comparing the nightmare that was the Wii U era, to how Wario is doing now, is a...

It's yet another example of how fundamentally flawed the article's stances are. I mean, I brought this up before, but one of the very few german Wario ads we ever got was literally a slightly shorter version of the one Japan had: Along with all the other stuff I brought up in my european...

Thanks for the added perspective! I decided to just go for a european perspective I can comment on, so I'm really happy to get some additional imput! As you said, the Japan vs US Wario comparison doesn't cover the west as a whole, even if I agreed with it, I would certainly not have my...

Anyone who follows me knows that I have a very low opinion of Source Gaming's Why Does Wario Fart, article. After some extra work on it, I finally completed my counter that tries to debunk the notion of Wario being so supposedly different between regions and why his in-game self matters more to...

The thing I see the most is a change of attitude towards Wario, especially compared to the awful Wii U era. I mean, even taking the Ashley focus aside, Smash screwed Wario over so hard that he couldn't even have the Shoulder Charge anymore, just as another middle finger to Wario Land and Wario...

I am honestly not sure where the mindset of Wario Land not having much demand to return is coming from, if anything it's become a key series that people like to point out in regards to neglected Nintendo series, to show off a few examples: And speaking as the guy who's running a Wario...

Wario is already getting quite a lot of love from the community, which is good and promising, since I'd like to show off stuff like this more often on my blog as a recurring feature.

TetraBitGaming is covering Wario World: There were actually some things in there that I didn't know yet.

Yup it's real: This also hints at a possible stream (maybe a Nintendo Direct?) on May 7th, since that's where it's coming according to the other leak and I don't see them posting the trailer on it's own.

I'm totally going to frequently look up stuff now, because there is a lot of good stages and Miis up already.

So eSports being localized under the Champions name is pretty much confirmed now. As someone who's played Puyo for years and isn't into the competetive scene, eSports/Champions is not a exciting title for me, not even close, but the mindset of wanting to hook people with a cheap budget version...

Amazing, especially how the hands actually are moving obstacles. that's so good.
