Gaming Boulevard wrote a review of the virtual console release of Wario Land: Shake Dimension and concluded:
This game is amazing, it feels like the old Wario Land games but still fresh thanks to the addition of the Wii remote features. Every level feels different and there is enough variety in each level. Wario Land: Shake Dimension is a fun and relaxing game for both people who know and love the series as for people who are new to Wario games.
