New Commercial! Wario Land: Shake It! Info (56k)

Wario Land: Shake It!, a cl assic side-scroller for the Wii console stars Wario, the smelly, bad-mannered alter ego of Mario. With the Wii Remote controller turned sideways like an old-school controller, veterans and newcomers alike can run, jump and smash their way through hectic side-scrolling stages. Players shake the Wii Remote to help Wario take down his enemies, empty bags of treasure or cause earthquakes. Best of all, there are numerous stages each offering multiple missions to keep players coming back again and again to unlock everything, collect more coins or just improve their best times.

Release dates:

Plot Info:

Within an Ancient Globe (an old, giant globe exhibited at a museum), there is another world called Yuretopia (translator: "yure" = tremor/shaking). Yuretopia's peace is shattered by the marauding pirate Shay King. Queen Melfull and her Melfull subjects are imprisoned. Not only that, Shay King claims the legendary treasure "Deldel Purse," which spits out coins whenever it is shaken. Captain Maple Syrup, the female pirate, observes Yuretopia's crisis from the outside world. Setting her eyes on the legendary treasure but with no desire of doing the dirty work herself, she steals the Ancient Globe and sends it to Wario. True to form, Wario prepares to raid the beleaguered kingdom when Queen Melfull escapes to the outside world in hopes of finding help. Beseeched by the Queen to become a hero to the kingdom, Wario sets off to Yuretopia where the promise of vast treasures beckons…

Gameplay Info:

- The Wii remote is held sideways with the D-pad being used for movement

- When Wario is near an exclamation mark, shake the controller to send him into a tizzy
- When Wario is infuriated after a good shake, his surroundings will crumble to reveal new paths
- Wiimote shaking also launches Wario out of cannons,
- There will be an 'angry snowball' Wario, as well as Wario on a unicycle
- Goal of each level is to collection 3 treasures

The animation will be handled by Tokyo based Production I.G.

Looking good! I'm a sucker for 2D platformers. Is this on WiiWare or on disc?lancea34

Disc. It's a retail game.

Ouch... Lets hope its long enough and has enough replay-value to prevent it from getting boring.

It's only supposed to have 20 levels, so we can only hope those are some awesome 20 levels.

20 levels? That's alot for a 2d platformer. It looks like Super Mario Bros. and Yoshi's Island mixed together. izayoi

But didn't Super Mario World have 72 levels? And that was on SNES.

Yeah, but Super Mario World had 96!lancea34

That's 96 goals. Some levels had more than one exit.

3d gaming is best for me but in my opinion some games must stay to 2d some times.2d gaming is good for some games like wario.we have all seen how awfull all the 3d sonic games are if you compare them with the 2d ones.the same goes with castlevania games and others.3d gaming is how videogames are supposed to be nowdays but if 2d gaming is done right it can be great even today..just look lost winds..

Whatever, but its still more than Wario Shake...

the artstyle reminds me metal slug

to bad cuz it looks awesome but its not worth 30-50 bucks it should be on the ds or on wiiware

... Suddenly, my need just turned to want. 20 levels isnt alot... at all.

But Im a softie for 2-D graphics/sprites, and theyre looking sweet.

Wario Land 3 only had 25 levels and that game was awesome.ZumaJones07

The latest platformers such as Yoshi's Island DS, NSMB, and Super Princess Peach weren't that long. And yeah Super Mario World long because of the different exits you can take.izayoi

Those are all handheld games. The Wii has 4.7+ GB to work with. If it's going to be a full priced Wii game, there are certain expectations to be had.

I think they are long because 20 short levels would be a Wii Ware game.

I know hope they delay the game so they can make 100 levels.

what I meant was if the levels are short this could better be on Wii Ware.

Hmm. This game reminds me a lot of Mischief Makers, if anyone remembers that game.Superlink517

[QUOTE="Superlink517"]Hmm. This game reminds me a lot of Mischief Makers, if anyone remembers that game.izayoi

Yeah it was a fun one! I hope this Wario one is too, though I haven't played many of the newer Wario games..

I really want Earthbound to come to the VC though.. I hate it that Japan got it (and mother 3) but we didn't. D:

They had to take it out of Brawl as a Masterpiece for the American version too, but it stayed in the Japanese version. Wtf is up with that?

When they talk about levels, could they really be referring to worlds? I mean, twenty levels doesnt sound an awful lot, but if its 20 levels with a whole bunch of stages in each, that would be better for a retail game.

Im a sucker for a good 2D game, so Ill probably pick this up once Ive seen some gameplay and like it, but I really hope there are more than 20 stages.

That would be awesome!

Oh damn! Mischief makers brings me way back, and now that you mention it, it actually reminds me a bit of this wario game, except wario doesnt have ass-kicking robot maids.

Anyway, Icant wait for the new Wario Land. Its been years now and I loved these games. I just hope its as good as the others or better. I also hope the old ones come to vc although I doubt it.

I hope the same thing too or atleast some great boss fights

btw some wii games are double-layered (8GB??) like smash bros

Smash is the only Dual Layer Disc game, so far.

[QUOTE="Superlink517"]Hmm. This game reminds me a lot of Mischief Makers, if anyone remembers that game.izayoi

I do hope each of those levels is like an hour long or something... not that that's likely.

What's more likely (and has already been said) is that they mean worlds...

We can hope...

it sounds like it would be a better deal on wii ware :shock:

But a 2D game on a disc can be vastly longer than one on wiiware. I mean, how many gigs is a Wii disk? Just think how epic of a 2D platformer you could make with that.

heroofwinds1

I don't think Sonic or Castlevania can't be 3D I only think that the 2d ones were better, any game can be translated to 3d with a good control scheme

I'm super hyped about this game, why are people so concerned about a 2D disk based game? On top of that it is going to have a bunch of Anime styled cut scenes done by Production IG, the people who do the Tales of series. They also did the cutscenes in Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, along with the Ghost in Shell animes and the anime segment of Kill Bill Volume 1.
