This thread is stupid and anyone who takes part in it is stupid. 259.

I'd like to see someone leak the source code for WL4 only to find that it's secretly a super high-tech AI that tries to steal your credit card info.

Well, it's hard to really credit any one individual with Wario's creation, since the furthest back we can trace his conception is to the throwaway idea for his punny name, which in and of itself was the result of an ol' "group think" at R&D1. However, Wario's final design and personality was all...

No. Gold's art direction can't decide if it wants to be manga-style, classic Warioware-style, or extremely geometric (I mean it -- why are some characters constructed with very basic, jagged forms and shapes while others look like baby-faced chibi characters?) In short, it's pretty awful for an...

Yeah -- Demon Head easily takes the cake for most unsettling boss, I'd say. Beyond his, er... Demonic appearance, his introduction is perhaps what defines his creep factor best. That, and the fact that he finds amusement in squashing/burning/bombing poor Wario to death, cackling whenever the...

Personally, I've always liked that they take their discussion seriously. Unlike this site (no offense, CM30), people aren't afraid of putting their opinions out there and just having good, heated debate. I mean, there are some genuinely bad apples in the DK Vine community who just want to start...

Veteran DK Viner, here! DK Vine may have a certain reputation as an old stinkhole where jaded Donkey Kong fans go to bitch & moan, but, as is typical of the hyperbole of the internet, that's a poor generalization of what is actually a very warm and good-humored community. To me, personally, DK...

Great post, Mr. "Virtual Boy Apologist"! I used to be the self-proclaimed champion of the Virtual Boy / VB Wario Land 'round these parts, so it's great to see somebody else who shares my views. Virtual Boy Wario Land is an utterly spectacular game in just about every respect, but I've always...

I always interpreted the Cellar chapter's setting as an old, abandoned network of underground mineshafts rather than Wario's "basement". The train/subway network is probably just another remnant of the old mining complex. Even if the whole shebang actually is Wario's property (which seems a...

Great to see you back in action again, Cannoli! I reckon we could always use a few more defendants of "Master of Disguise" 'round these parts... I look forward to your postings in the future.

An intrepid idea, but I doubt a few sidebar ads would have much of an impact on the game's sales figures. Let's be realistic; this is WarioWare, one of the most niche core franchises of Nintendo's modern repertoire. By virtue of that fact, Gold's audience is already decidedly small, but take...

Ah... I haven't been feeling this game at all over the past three months, but I'll be damned if that trailer didn't get me on board. Now that we've seen some more of the artwork, it's actually begun to grow on me, slightly. And how about Wario doing some good old-fashioned treasure hunting? What...

It gets better. By the way, Metal, did you receive an alert when MonaWare posted that @mention? I didn't get anything. Odd.

You mean Wario's cackles and grunts during the big showdown? You can thank Kazumi Totaka for that. He was a sound design wizard. Really, everything about that battle was prestigious in terms of presentation -- the dynamic music, chasing Wario deeper into the castle, his different power-ups...

I remember hearing that somewhere a while back. Hopefully he's still planning on giving it a look. Also, in addition to that Wario Land 3 interview, there's a really nice one for Super Mario Land 2 as well (properly translated by Mr. shmuplations this time). They talk much more about the game...

This has most likely been posted a few times around these forums already, but: A rare surviving interview with R&D1 can still be found on Nintendo's JP website. It focuses on Wario Land 3, which appears to have just completed production at the time of the interview. There don't appear to be any...

What in blue blazes is going on with this game's visuals? I mean, if you're determined to define everything on the character with clunky black lines, at least use thinner ones for anything lying within the outer-line. Art direction in the WarioWare series has always followed that formula in the...

"Random"? I'm not stating it as fact or assuming anything, let alone "accusing" Takeuchi, as you put it in your own hyperbolic terms. That comment was just a throwaway theory that crossed my mind, and I don't actually believe for one second that Takeuchi and the current Ware team had anything to...

That's precisely my point. Is there any good reason why the buttons had to be changed? It's such an odd thing to mess with... I really am beginning to think it may have been some sort of demand from Takeuchi or anyone else majorly involved with art direction in the WarioWare/Mario series. It's...
