No. It's distinctly Mario: vibrant, cheery, with a latin spunk in the overworld and a more blue/gothic tone to the underworld and castles. I found no issue with the enemy designs and didn't perceive any clash between them and the environment. Pretty fluid and professional presentation as far as I'm concerned.

Sure as hell looks more interesting, but that's not saying much. That game needs another year of development.Saoh said:

At least Nintendo and some close Third Party are keeping developing good hardcore titles on Wii. Better then nothing.

Just wanted to throw in some more love for Fatal Frame 4. Loved the first two, and have the third waiting to be played. I'll definitely have to get on it once the US gets a release date.

I meant the developer of Wario Land. Is it externalised, right?
This is why I like Nintendo so much, whenever you pick up a seemingly new name you can still find out checking staff lists that s/he actually has quite a long history at Nintendo already. While many game publishers are just publishers at worst or plain developers at best Nintendo is like the only (remaining) true gaming research institute were long time developers of "traditional" games are allowed to work on ground breaking "non games" as well.Shikamaru Ninja said:
I find that actually to be true for (the remainders of) R&D1 as well, so what major/minor defects of R&D1 do you refer to?
Besides the great Gunpei Yokoi obviously, RiP...

It IS side-scrolling Wario Land again! Awesome, simply awesome. I've been playing Wario Land 2 again (on Super Game Boy this time, instead of fully colorized GBC mode like the first time years back), and played Virtual Boy Wario land recently (still working on finishing Hard Mode, actually... awesome, awesome game, absolutely makes that Virtual Boy purchase worth it...), so it's great to see another one. I'd kind of liked to have seen it on DS actually, because the Wario Land series had all been on portable consoles, but Wii is great too. Hopefully it will live up to the series legacy of greatness and not be like Master of Disguise...
Anyway, those shots may be small, but it certainly looks very promising. Hopefully what's left of R&D1 is making it, as they were the developers of all five previous Wario Land titles.

I wonder if this will be the "true" Wario Land 5 or that is planned down the line for DS or its succesor.
WL 2-4 are brilliant. As much as I like Treasure, I hope it's handled internally.
(Haven't played Wario: MoD but it is cheap on Amazon so I ordered it.)

Wasn't there something Shigeru Miyamoto said about a new Yoshi and/or DK game for consoles? I wonder if Wario Land might be the first in a line of 2D platformers for the system. It would appeal to hardcore gamers, and if they released on WiiWare, it would probably kill all competition (meaning, bad for third parties).

I just want to say that I couldn't seem to fall asleep last night for almost an hour because I just kept thinking about all of the awesome parts of rhythm tengoku. It was all I could do not to get up and start playing through it again. RTGold is def. my most anticipated game right now.

I've never thought of Nintendo as an institute of research, but it's interesting to imagine what goes on over there. With their talent and resources, they can do something mind blowing.
I can't see enough of FFIV to know if it's significantly better looking than the PS2 games (which are already fantastic looking), but playing this game with the Wiimote will be a dream come true. Can't wait!
Edit: Infinite film? Did any of the other games have infinite film? I know in 3 it replenished itself if you went back to the waking world, but even so...
I'm always nervous about running out of film, so part of me is happy to see that, but that nervousness is part of the reason the games are so fun.

Surfergirl said there were 4 Wario-related projects under development. I remain skeptical, since Nintendo is so notoriously locked up and it's clear her main sources were with Ubisoft, THQ, and Namco. Still, I'm assuming someone at some level of being in the loop tipped her off to this stuff.

Regardless, I definitely see a WarioWare Balance Board edition. I think that's fairly obvious.Stumpokapow said:

Between these two posts, I don't know if I could disagree more. TheOneGuy may have said that he was using hyperbole by calling it "ugly," but I'm not sure that I am. There's a horrible clash between the 3D characters with their pixel edges and the beautiful, smooth backgrounds. Kirby Canvas Curse and Kirby Squeak Squad were much better looking, more consistent, and--yes--even more unified.TheGrayGhost said:

Rhythm Tengoku DS and Wario both look rad.

It's pretty simple for Surfer Girl's rumor to be true.
We've just seen a Wario Land title announced, a WarioWare game is fairly obvious w/ the Balance Board. There's also the possibility of a DS WarioWare sequel, and I could definitely see a Wario Land platformer for the DS, maybe something for WiiWare as well.
But since her sources include Namco, it's not out of the question that they could be developing a Wario title. It'd be interesting what they could come up with. WarioWare Baseball or something?

Actually, I agree with Kirby Canvas Curse to some extent; beautiful backgrounds but still questionable foreground pieces, at least to me. Kirby Squeek Squad falls in line visually like Nightmare in Dreamland and The Amazing Mirror. But yeah, shame we can't agree on NSMB. But at least we can agree the backgrounds look great.

Just like last time, not entirely sure where to post these (new rumoured trademarks from Japanese companies), but the fact is that any of these could pop-up in one of these thread if they haven't already - i.e. Wario Land, whose trademark renewal was posted recently...
Plus, trademark decoding is happy fun time, so :

Unfortunately, seems like the Wii Summit already happened last month, and all we got were some pretty cool Wiiware gamescvxfreak said:

Wii Summit sounds like a snowboard/snow sports game for the Balance Board.

Treasure involved in a Wario title again? (shake-shake )

Wii Summit - Skiing? Snowboarding? 1080?
"Thousand Chinese Magical Sentences" - Probably a Kanji thing, I'd guess.

Really? That's how I always picture them. I think they largely promote from within, mostly people who have worked under people like Miyamoto and Iwata for some time. Which I think is brilliant 'cause it means that all of its employees are firmly in the Nintendo fold and understand the company's overall philosophy and strategies in the market. When you think that they're putting some pretty high-level talent on what the average gamer would consider to be simplified or 'dumbed down' projects and yet they perform admirably on them, it's saying something for the collective mentality of its workers.

That reminds me, we really need to see Fire Emblem in action. The tiny screens so far gave me a sinking feeling in my stomach. Judging by the way the Armor Knight attacks, it looks like they just recolored the GBA sprites for this game. Very disappointing if true.
