I don't want a lot for Christmas.... except a new Wario Land announcement!! 2026 will be the year, or my stocking will be stuffed with coal!

It was time for my annual Cave Story playthrough, but since I updated my operating system to Linux this year, I had no idea how I was gonna run it. Thank goodness for dokutsu-rs, a faithful reimplementation of the original game in the Rust language, with additional features such as widescreen...

With the revival of Wario World on the Nintendo Switch 2's GameCube collection, this thread only continues to prove its main point... Wario Land II is now the only Wario platformer without any direct references in the modern landscape! Though I should finally bring up that there was a time it...

587... you know, I wonder if someone out there ever played the "guess the number I'm thinking of" game, between 0 and 1000, and this was their choice. You may assume not, since it is such an unceremonious number, but I believe the world is more than big enough for at least one person to have...

Honestly I think you've struck the golden answer... scoring depending directly on how much you do in each individual microgame could be a way to inject more tension into the mix, while still keeping the life system. The microgames could have a base requirement that lets you pass, but then allow...

Might as well log what I'm able to finish nowadays here too... I got to the end of the October '25 demo for Telegeddon, the latest original project from Eyes in Everything, most known for previously creating some classic Mario fangames yesterdecade. Answering the question if it was worth the...

2.5 hours of playtime and a complete demo later... now Ilini has a lot of somethings to say! Underneath a spoiler of course, since not only do I not want to drown future replies in a scroll, but I also think it is best to experience the demo first if you haven't. I might polish this up and send...

My impression is that they don't want to directly pull appearances from other Mario games like Smash does, so instead they create costumes that are at least vaguely similar to characters' existing outfits. After all, Wario's pirate costume isn't a perfect replica of the one from Game & Wario. I...

I think the easy answer is that they're weird for the sake of weird, like most of the smaller Wario bosses. Though I do think the four area guardians at least were working under the Golden Diva, since they each have a piece of jewelry that gets sent to her when they are defeated. I love that...

Wow!! I'm amazed to see Eyes in Everything start a new project so soon, since it took over a decade to complete Pyscutlery if I remember correctly, but I'm glad to see them continue to create games. I'll give that demo a test and report back with what I think, looks lovely so far.

Interesting argument here... I wouldn't say Wario has gotten the same level of DK's appreciation yet, but I wonder if they will have another announcement coming soon, that could then foreshadow a new game.

Why not! Getting a little festivus!! Just a little though.

I can definitely see them bringing back more Land characters as cameos, in a similar fashion to Cractus in Move It. As for making all of them regulars of the series, I'm not so sure. Most of the Wario Land villains feel better as one-off encounters to me, as supernatural and implicitly evil as...

Pretty much this too, especially now with things like "verified" users making revenue off of getting big posts... such a feature that, regardless of intention, will result in attempts to farm engagement in any way possible.

Unlocking them from collecting the treasures in each level, like in the original game. You can still view them in the Treasure Square hub, but there's no way to link a Game Boy Advance to play them. I sadly expected both that and a lack of the improved final boss. Nintendo has still been stingy...

Wario Land 4 is most well-renowned for, once again, flipping the series' gameplay loop on its head. While the original Wario Land and its Virtual Boy sequel were more in line with Mario's platformers, and II and 3 honed in on the slower-paced puzzle solving that was present, 4 implements a new...

I think the more iconic Wario Land 4 tracks are most likely, especially Palm Tree Paradise. Maybe some Shake It picks like Stonecarving City as well? Though I, being the biased fan I am, would like some more choices from the original trilogy; the train levels in 1 and II could result in some fun...

I'm bumming off a friend's "family" Expansion pack. I wouldn't think of buying it for myself, so it was a neat opportunity to get grouped in to a better deal. I had some fun with Animal Crossing's Happy Home Paradise, and the Classics collection apps are good, but otherwise I don't use it for much.
