Recently, I saw this piece of artwork showing the likes of Captain Syrup, Rudy, the Black Jewel and Count Cannoli working for a rival WarioWare Inc company under Waluigi's leadership. I've also seen a few people talking about characters like Captain Syrup or Waluigi becoming WarioWare employees in some form, or acting as rivals in that series in general.
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 they are. Syrup and Waluigi are much more toned back in that regard, but I think their current characters would need to be fleshed out a little more to feel like worthwhile inclusions, though I don't think you'd even need a new game to do this; a WarioWare cartoon has been one of my biggest desires for Wario as a whole, and that could be an opportunity to introduce such characters in a new light.
I would love that! And I think they're already confirmed to be connected because of Cractus appearing in Move It and the WL3 and 4 references in Twisted.
Would be dope as hell to see CatBat and Spoiled Rotten appear in the next WarioWare!
I've said this before and will say this again: Princess Shokora would make a great Fantasy genre stage host. Her comparatively straight-laced nature even in cat form would contrast well against the trouble Dribble and Spitz find themselves in.
and the WL3 and 4 references in Twisted.
