What Happened to Wario Land?

“The game released to mostly positive reviews with many praising its return to form gameplay and the gorgeous hand-drawn graphics however it was a flop at retail, selling 1.15 million copies on a system where Nintendo platformers where constantly smash hits (New Super Mario Bros. Wii moved 28.50 million copies).”

New Super Mario Bros Wii should in no way be listed as the standard by which all platformers should be able to sell. Wario Land: Shake It sold about on par with Kirby’s Return to Dreamland & Sonic Colors people regard those titles as commercial successes.

Also if you think Wario Land: Shake It flopped in sales, you must think most titles in the Metroid series are commercial flops.

I really want to see another entry in the series. I was hooked on it since GB & bought a VB just for it. The change in direction was ok but theres nothing like eating garlic to grow and smash enemies while being a greedy pig.

I liked 3 better than 4. But man is Wario land under appreciated. We need a new game or a new 3D Wario game.

Alex DS from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The Wii U is a great place to build up a collection of classic video games. And with Nintendo beginning to phase out the online services for this system we figured it was as good a time as any to go over the games that are must-haves from the Wii U Virtual Console!"
