True, but that game was a gem in the dirt.

I'd go as far as to say that there are quite a few very good VB games, but yeah, WL was the obvious stand-out. If only it would have had enough of a lifespan to receive more AAA treatments.

I've been hoping for a long time that we'd receive some sort of remake. As cool and well-done as the 3D depth tricks were, that game would still hold up without 'em.

[Fantastical]

I've also considered this. It actually makes the most sense. A Wario LAND with the balance board could be good though.

Hmm.. that sounds interesting. It would be quite cool if some games took on balance board support that don't seem likely for the support.
Or it could just be referring to waggle. I mean, you can shake the wiimote...

What the hell... I have no idea. :lol

[HUELEN10]

What if "Wario land" is actually "WarioWare" and "Shake" = Balance Board? ... ...

A Wario Land title where you use the nunchuck combo to move while sitting on the balance board to do stuff? Rabbids 3 has games controlled by your butt, so I wouldn't put it past Wario...

[Ydahs]

Baten Kaitos DS and the untitled 360 RPG have disappeared from Namco's page. Oops? :lol

WHAT?!! Nooo! Nooooooooooooooo!

/wrist

[FoneBone]

A new Wario Land? After a 7-year (almost) absence? On a console? In just over two months?

Not betting on it, sadly... watch it be something much lamer.

[Stumpokapow]

A new Wario Land? After a 6-and-a-half-year (!) absence? On a console? In just over two months? Not betting on it, sadly... watch it be something much lamer.

What exactly are you not betting on? Its existence? It's on Nintendo's release schedule. It's there on the page. It exists. It is Wario Land.

[TreIII]

If Wario Land is true....AWESOME. ^_^

Be even better if it was finally more in line with the first two games, and also had the return of Captain Syrup.

...And what more could I honestly say about RT DS that hasn't already been said? :lol

[AniHawk]

Wario platformer(gross).

Wario LAND is the best series in the franchise. This fact is supported by the fact that Wario World is mediocre, the Wario Ware series is shit, and Wario Thief is somehow even worse.

[Bebpo]

Do we know if RT is a sequel or just a port? The "gold" in the title makes it sound like a DC version. I hope it's a completely new title.

[EmCeeGramr]

WTH? Aside from Inazuma Eleven they're all published by Nintendo. :lol It's not on the page anymore though.

Key word is PUBLISHED. Sega is publishing alot these days too. Thats not a knock against Nintendo but Im curious about their internal efforts.

[FoneBone]

We know the title. We know nothing about the gameplay.

[Golden Darkness]

Does anyone understand this comment about Fatal Frame?

以上任天堂タイトル 零は任天堂になってますね。

Does it mean Fatal Frame belongs to Nintendo, or its just commenting on how this one is being published by Nintendo (with the previous games being dev. by Temco and published on PS2/XBOX)?

[HUELEN10]

If Pauline made a comeback in Mario vs DK 2, then I am sure Captain Syrup could have one as well.

[HUELEN10]

Wario LAND is the best series in the franchise. This fact is supported by the fact that Wario World is mediocre, the Wario Ware series is shit, and Wario Thief is even worse.

What makes it shit? Sure it is different, but it all started out as Mario Artist 64DD Microgames anyway. Wario just put a face on it.

[FoneBone]

Wario Land 3 was far and away the best of the series. So no.

[EmCeeGramr]

After kirby and mario and DK and stafi Nintendo doesnt need Wario platforming. Warioware was a perfect fit for the character.

[AniHawk]

What makes it shit? Sure it is different, but it all started out as Mario Artist 64DD Microgames anyway. Wario just put a face on it.

I'm exaggerating here. I just don't find it very fun. It's one of those series like Metroid Prime and Jak II where I think the developers went down the wrong direction.

After kirby and mario and DK and stafi Nintendo doesnt need Wario platforming. Warioware was a perfect fit for the character.

The Kirby games are usually pretty good. Mario platformers come out once in forever, DK platformers come out less than that. We don't even get Stafi. Wario was one of the few platforming series we saw consistent releases for from Nintendo in the late 90s.

[grandjedi6]

and that makes a Wario platformer gross because...?

Ah, understandable.

[HK-47]

Wario Land was an even better fit.

[EmCeeGramr]

EAD, Gamefreak, Hal Laboratory, Intelligent Systems, EAD tokyo, etc. Im not saying it matters where your awesome lineup comes from. Im just curious about what everyone is cooking. I think Int Sys has enough manpower to be working more on a remake and RTG. Warioland Wii smells like one of the treasure products.

[Father_Brain]

I believe he's suggesting that it might be a Wario:MoD-esque spinoff with the Land name tacked on. Hopefully, that's not the case.

[EmCeeGramr]

Wario Land was an even better fit.

The niche was filled about 5 times over.

Good question...

From my knowledge, the first part basically says "Beyond a Nintendo title" while the second part says "Rei is to become Nintendo's"...

"なってます" can mean other things as well, but that first bit seems to tie into this meaning...

Considering the Wario Lands are the best 2D platformers outside of Mario on handhelds, its not the one cluttering the niche.

Do you not see the topics complaining about a lack of decent platformers on consoles? Wii already has a Warioware...now its time for Wario Land

[RockmanWhore]

It's $50, so I think that rules out WiiWare. At least, I fucking hope it does.

Thank you for ruining my dreams. I hoped that it wouldn't be overpriced ='(

At that price it better be damn good.

I think you are expecting too much from a simple summer line-up meeting. Wait till E3 as they always say

[EmCeeGramr]

and that makes a Wario platformer gross because...?

It really doesnt matter what I think about the series. You guys like it, I dont think its necessary. I was just saying earlier that we still havent seen too much of Nintendo's own work yet and made an unintentional flamebait. Lets get back on topic.

[AniHawk]

I think Int Sys has enough manpower to be working more on a remake and RTG. Warioland Wii smells like one of the treasure products.

Int Sys has at least three teams.

2005: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Dr. Mario & Puzzle League
2006: Rhythm Tengoku
2007: Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Planet Puzzle League, Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero
2008: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Fire Emblem Remake, Rhythm Tengoku Gold

I think the work could've been split up between a remake of FE and a possible port/upgrade of RT to do another full game. They released three console games and two handheld games in 2007. Three handheld games and one console game in 2008 doesn't sound too far-fetched.

Sounding like an awesome combo of Wind Waker and Yoshi's Island.

Smells like ignorant statements. No one knows who is working on it

...Ooooo...

I like the sounds of this already.

Still, that whole "Shake" thing has to give me pause. I just want solid platforming action, not too many things involving waggle.

[HUELEN10]

Still enough to whet my appetite for Wario games...

[AniHawk]

I think the right developers can do it justice. LostWinds had waggle control and it was pretty good because of it.

[Tenbatsu]

Dam double post again!

[Fantastical]

So I'd say Fatal Frame, Wario Land Rhythm Tengoku are shoe-ins for E3. Hopefully Kid Icarus and Animal Crossing (Pikmin 3 as well!) will make an appearance and this could be a very solid show.

[EmCeeGramr]

We know treasure has worked with the wario ip before. We know they are working on two wii games. Seems to add up.

[HUELEN10]

I wouldn't call them shoo-ins just yet.
Remember when Famitsu revealed Kaito Wario 7? It was not at E3 at all.

[TreIII]

I think the right developers can do it justice. LostWinds had waggle control and it was pretty good because of it.

I suppose so...

But really, I want the focus to be on a solid title first, and foremost.

Any way, gots to go to bed for now. But I EXPECT to see some 10-20 page topics by the time I wake up! :lol :lol

[EmCeeGramr]

:lol OMG what if saksu(sp?) was making wario wii?

[Rayven]

Wario Land. :O I need it, just please tell me it resembles a traditional WL title. The 'Shake' has me assuming it'll, well, place a focus on shaking the Wiimote, and therefore not be a traditional platformer? Who knows.

I was thinking the same thing. All I want is a solid platformer...hold the shake.

[Fantastical]

I wouldn't call them shoo-ins just yet. Remember when Famitsu revealed Kaito Wario 7? It was not at E3 at all.

But Fatal Frame and Wario are due out so soon in Japan. It would be stupid not to have them at E3. I fully expect Fatal Frame by '09 and if Wario Land is really that close to coming out in Japan I would expect that too.

[Golden Darkness]

The famitsu scans stated 2008 Nintendo/Tecmo LTD

Hmmm... so that means Nintendo isn't just the publisher, it owns partial rights to this game, meaning it won't be ported to non-Nintendo systems?
