Wario land - shake it up!

Nintendo have released their latest trailer for Wario land: The shake dimension, Shake it! or Shake depending on where you live and it’s pretty good. You may wonder why I didn’t embed this video, but it’ll become apparent why when you watch it. And trust me…you need to watch it!

How cool was that!! As cool as the trailer was, it didn’t entice me to buy the game - although I own all of Wario’s hand held adventures. There’s just nothing about this game that makes me want to part with 40 quid of my money. If it dropped to around £20 by Christmas I’d strongly consider picking it up. Not that I speak on behalf of every Wii owning gamers out there, but I imagine many share my sentiments: “Cool looking game, but not sure if I’d buy it at full price right now”.

I am loving the art direction and style of the game though. The animation is really slick. Jokes about the Wii not being powerful aside - it’s cool that a developer is still embracing good old 2D graphics on consoles. 3D isn’t necessary for everything. If Sega kept Sonic in the 2nd dimension for consoles, then perhaps we’d finally get a good Sonic game. Me-thinks they should take note.

Wario’s latest adventure will be available for Wii worldwide by the end of this week.

      That was pretty damn cool, too bad for a technical glitch I noticed that the whole page was a big flash block.

      That was slick!!

      Nahu, the average “casual” gamers watching this wont realize that this whole thing was rendered in Flash.

      Clever marketing at work.

      @Kid: Agreed. This is a really cool ad. Although my browser exploded when running it.
