The game did decent but not huge numbers in Japan considering its context of release. Its western performance (which doesn't appear to have been great based on the available data points) and how much the decision-makers value it is the big ?

Well I'm sure a lot of that can be attributed to how it was released on the very tail end of the 3DS' life and a Switch release would be a huge hit! I think if anything, Gold shows that people still have interest in the series.
Honestly, doing decent numbers in Japan is probably better than how most late gen 3DS games did.
I mean, it probably did better than the Luigi's Mansion remake, and certainly did better than the second Dillon's Rolling Western game, Ever Oasis, the Mario & Luigi remakes, Metroid Prime Federation Force, etc.

Indeed. Wario Land has been ignored for well over a decade now, and Virtual Boy Wario Land is definitely a game that more people ought to play.
But to be honest, I would be happy with anything Wario Land related right now.
I definitely would love to play VB Wario Land, it looks so great. It's a shame that the Switch doesn't have a traditional Virtual Console meaning that we might not even see any classic Land games on there for a while, if at all.
@TB100 reminded me to run the Nintendo Dream web Q&A through DeepL (some stuff is still exclusive to the yet-untranscripted print version though)

Wait, what about 9-Volt and 18-Volt? We've seen the two go to school countlessly and yet they're never mentioned here? Was their schoollife simply a VR simulation or something? Was 9-Volt's math lesson simply some fake thing he conjured up in his head?
Before someone says something, yes, I'm aware the team likely just forgot about it, but that's still an odd ommission.

I didn't realize it at the time but Ashley being obmitted is interesting
Oh that's true, her lyrics even mention a teacher in the English version.
Does Ashley just not go to school in the Japanese one?
Is it just me, or do many, and I mean many children and teens in fictional works not attend any form of education? Even if they would definitely be legal to do so in real-life. It's something that I've always wondered about, and it's one of those things that don't make much sense but still occur a lot in media of that target audience, especially video games. Or do they go to school, but it's just never mentioned, just like how in many fictional works no-one ever needs to go to the bathroom unless it's plot-relevant.
