I heard nintendo was going to bring it back whenever you stop seething lmao

That depends, are you going to buy it?
If not, then no. You can just replay the game's over and over again and help expand wario-likes for indie developers.

>>8415824
It will return as long as you keep emailing and pestering Nintendo of Japan using Wario to describe your reactions.

It will return if the usual Wario developers feel like making a new one. They might actually prefer working on WarioWare.

Thanks anon

The latest Warioware has a good deal of minigames obviously on a grid, which makes very very hopeful they intend to do something. Especially when Lulu, the little girl with Wario eyebrows, controls like a platformer character with a ground slam, but I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

>>8416165
I don't think OP has the magical power to single-handedly materialize a new game by simply wishing to buy it, Anon.

>>8415824
It'll probably return but under a different team. Probably with only Sakamoto returning, to oversee it, like Metroid's return.

>>8415824
Id rather a sequel to Wario World because i get to beat things

>>8415824
Nintendo views it as a failure I'm pretty sure. 4 games isn't a terrible run though.

>>8416978
It sells more then the average WarioWare and more then many Mario spinoffs (Like Mario vs Donkey Kong or Mario Golf) so highly unlikely it was ever seen as a "failure".

This >>8416323 is more likely, since R&D1's disbandment there is no one passionate and advocating for it anymore (which is why Wario Land Shake It was outsourced), it's yet another platformer that Nintendo already has a ton of already, Wario Land was prominent when 2D Mario was dead but now that New Super Mario Bros exploded less reason to bring it back, and WarioWare is probably much cheaper and it usually shows off the system's hardware gimmick. I vastly prefer Wario Land, but Nintendo sticking with WarioWare makes much more sense to me.

I wonder if MercurySteam could make a decent one.
Well, there's always Pizza Tower, assuming that ever actually comes out.

>>8418001
3D Wario Land would be cursed

>>8415824
the Virtual Boy Wario Land manual has a lot of soul

I miss it more. Another Wario treasure hunting adventure with no Ware interference could be good but my hopes are not up at this point.

>>8418001
>Mercurysteam
Weird fucking fit for the cartoony Wario series. I haven't played the new Metroid but their games including Samus Returns are dull cinematic spectacle shit with absolutely no style, Wario needs the opposite. Why not Retro Studios? Because they don't exist anymore? I'd rather the Goemon leftover people (Good Feel) get another go at it and make it a little less milquetoast than Shake it. It wasn't terrible or anything but there's a couple things that drag it down, I fucking wish it had been as zany and varied as the SNES Goemon games, a Wario game with that sense of adventure and irreverence would have been fucking perfect. In fact I'm bummed Nintendo pigeonholed them into those gimmicky Kirby/Yoshi games. Again they're not terrible but they lack the energy the old Goemon games had. Meh.

Next Level games would be the most likely Nintendo 2nd party to get it right if you ask me.

>>8416229
Lmao I don't know, maybe this is a way to get more Wariowares. Wario is hardly niche, but his actual games are. Still this could be the most realistic way to make this more likely.

Nintendo is phasing out pure 2D platformers, Odyssey was a smash hit and they're more confident that people can competently play 3D games.

>Mario Maker put 2D Mario in the hands of fans
>Kirby now shifting to 3D
>Yoshi's recent game has 3D elements
>DK rumored to be shifting to 3D
>Metroid is a special case due to its adventure elements, though Dread may very well have been a swansong

Stage-based 2D platformers are seen as old hat now, the execs don't think they will sell.

>>8415824
If it did you'd all just say its shit anyway.

>>8416883
that's not what i meant, but ok.

>>8418001
Wario Land isn't for those spainards, they would probably make a good Wario World follow up, if Treasure lets them do one.

>>8419339
You are mostly right but a reminder that New Super Mario Bros sells way more then 3D Mario.

>>8415824
Is this a Porco Rosso reference?

>>8419042
It captures the feel of the game pretty well
>>8419067
>but my hopes are not up at this point.
Neither are mine, but one can dream. Maybe it'll happen someday
>>8419353
It depends on how it would turn out
>>8419426
Isn't Treasure dead? They haven't done anything in years

>>8419339
Ironically, Wario Land excelled on GameBoy when most of development was shifting towards 3D games on the N64.

>>8415824
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Pizza Tower comes close but I still want a real wario land

I always liked 3 the most.

If Wario Land Virtual Boy gets remade, would she make the cut?

>>8423528
It's possible, but Wario always had crude humor and strangely curved things (Hen having breasts/ass and the Cactus in that one Wario land 4 mini-game being curvaceous) so it's possible it would be safe.

The issue with Virtual Boy Wario land getting a remake is that they would butcher it's artstyle. Do not want.

>>8422757
Thank you for posting this, I thought of this game the second I first saw this thread and forgot what it was called

>>8425161
> The issue with Virtual Boy Wario land getting a remake is that they would butcher it's artstyle

All they've had to do is to port original game to 3DS. The idea literally was in the air.
Too bad Nintendo doesn't care about their underperformed projects, which is not only Virtual Boy but also Wario Land series itself.

>>8415824
Probably never. WarioWare sells better and cheap to make.

The last Wario Land game bombed even with a huge budget and promotion.

>>8425209
Which one?

>>8425209
>>8425260
Are you talking about Wario World?

>>8425260
>>8425261
Wario Land: Shake It. Game came out in 2008 and WL has been dead ever since.

>>8425261
I think anon was talking about Shake It on the Wii

>>8425261
Do you guys like Wario World? I love Wario World.

>>8425302
It's great

Honestly not sure how to feel about Wario Land as a whole. They're good (for handheld games), but it feels like they never "got" a defining moment of completeness of their own, in the same way that mainline Mario did. Similar to the Mario Land games, Wario Land is weird and atonal in the presentation. I would've quite liked to see how an EAD Wario would've turned out.

Wario had such great comercials. RIP Chikao Ohtsuka.

WL3 was the zenith. That game was a hard 10, and the invincibility mechanic was still fresh from WL2.

>>8425907
I love WL3 and 4, and 2 of course. But yeah I wonder how 4 might have turned out if they had kept the invincibilty and made it more exploration-based like the previous two games, having Wario travel back to the same levels to unlock more content/progression etc.

>>8419017
Oh boy do I have news for you anon https://youtu.be/PvmqU1QlhGw

>>8418001
Pizza Tower has shifted since its Wario Land origins and is now a prime example of feature creep

>>8425762
Hah this is great, never seen it before

>>8425191
there was a rumor that it was getting a remake but was cancelled after seeing how poorly 3DS games were selling post-Switch.

>>8425209
>WarioWare sells better
This is not true. pre-GIT WarioWare as a series has less games that sold a million then those that do. This is the opposite of Wario Land which has more million sellers then not. The first WW was a major sales drop after Wario Land 4, and WarioWare Touched barely sold more then WL4 despite it releasing on a console that had double the install base (Nintendo DS) compared to the Gameboy Advance.

>>8425209
>The last Wario Land game bombed even with a huge budget and promotion
Graphics, animations and anime cutscenes were beautiful but unfortunately from gameplay aspect it was disappointing and lacked the variety and originality of the older games. Also the shaking controls gimmick gets old quickly. Super Mario Galaxy took better advance of Wii's controller.
