it's in the scans that neo posted, but definately needs its own thread, cause wario is just so so cool.

E-e-e-e-excellent! Waha!

Although he looks a little... thin? And bright? I wonder if they can get the crazy Wario faces out of a small 3D model...

 

[Mama Smurf]

I don't think it's a Wario Land...but it's a non-Wario Ware Wario, so that's good enough for me!

It definitely is in the Wario Land line by looking at the level design and menu screen. Of course it may be different with new "touch" features.


I was worried this series might have been forgotten. I am so happy right now. Wario returns!!

 

[drohne]

background graphics look pretty awful. between this and new smb, i wonder if nintendo have fired all their 2d artists. still, it's good to see wario in a full-sized game again.

This game is probably pretty far off.

That looks bad, but woohoo it's Wario ! Super Princess Peach looked bad at first too.

You think? Looks more exploration based to me than I'd expect. Maybe I'm just being tricked by having the map there like that and looking like Metroid/Castlevania though.

Plus it is called Wario Thief or something similar, what were the Japanese Wario Lands called?

Wario Land 3 + Wario land 4 had a lot of searching in the non-boss levels. The direction has deviated from being a linear platformer like the 2D Mario games. The map was probably thrown in to make use of the second screen.

 

[Sho Nuff]

WARIO LAND FUCKING ROCKS. Best platformers that Nintendo makes ever since they gave up on Mario games.

The map is lame though, the top screen should be something more Wario-like, like Wario doing some chick's butt

 

[Yoshi]

Since Wario Land 2, Wario Land wasn't all about jumping anymore. When Wario became invincible, a big part of the game was to find out how to find treasures secret exits.

 

[Rayven]

I could care less how this thing looks. It's got sweet-ass wario platforming on the touch screen and metroidvania automap on the top. yay!

Yeah me too. As much as I love the WarioWare games it's great to see a new Wario platformer again. Wario Land 4 was the best 2D platformer in ages.

I was just playing Wario Land 4 the other day and thinking that they NEED to release a follow-up. Obviously Nintendo was watching me play it on my micro. Clearly.

 

[FoneBone]

WL3>>>>WL2>>>>WL4.

(I never actually played the first one.)

 

[DDayton]

What is that on Wario's head... a hot water bottle?

 

[evilromero]

WL3>>>>WL2>>>>WL4.

(I never actually played the first one.)

And Wario Land VB is better than all of them combined. No seriously, WL3 is my favorite, but WL4 has the awesome vocal music that flucuates in speed depending on the situation. I love that.

 

[Father_Brain]

So... is this actually Wario Land 5, or some kind of spin-off, like the title (Mysterious Thief Wario) seems to imply?

 

[Ulthwe]

WL4 has the awesome vocal music that flucuates in speed depending on the situation. I love that.

I thought I was the only one that noticed its excellent use of music. Crouch and the tempo slows down. Roll down a ramp and the tempo accelerates. AH! And visit Mystic Lake on the Emerald passage (its the 3rd Stage), the music there is excellent, with two overlapping tunes.
Here's an easy way to hear this overlapping effect:
At the start of the level, go down the stairs and don't kill the wandering enemy, instead pick him up and jump the platforms to the right. Throw the enemy against the breakable wall. As soon as you enter the room (there's a chest in there) )the music will start to change. Enter and exit the room and you will hear the effect (better with headphones).

To stay on topic:

I feel the same about this Wario game now, but I remeber that the first Super Princess Peach screenshots were seen in a Famitsu on December 2004, and I didn't have much interest in it 'till I saw the videos last week.

It's being co-developed with Suzak. They also made F-Zero: GP Legend fwiw.

The original Wario Land is still amazing--beat the shit out of pirates, ninjas, and ducks and become the richest motherfucker in the universe. It's the Tao of Wario.

Oh

 

[Father_Brain]

Wario looks 3D-rendered in the first pic. I get the feeling that this isn't WLV.

 

[Aurora]

Unimpressed by the visuals.
They should stick to a Princess Peach-like look IMO.

But this is good news. Wario Land remains one of my favourite platform series ever.

Are you getting that from the japanese scan page with the copyrights. I figured it but on second thought some of the copyright orders don't make sense.

 

[Dsal]

Warioland 3 was one of the greatest games ever in my book.
