Tbh not even Nintendo had an answer to Wario

They had no idea what to do when he manifested himself onto their handheld console and started to dethrone their main mascot, and ultimately decided to go along with it for a while.

Maybe not a direct answer, but it did have other wacky games like Ristar and Dynamite Headdy

The Game Gear didn't have an answer to a lot of things. The Genesis held itself very well against the SNES, but man, the Game Gear just had a really weak library versus the much cheaper Game Boy

Tempo sold almost nothing and is forgotten.

How many people will recommend you Wario Land because they thought it was fun? A lot of people.
How many people will recommend you Tempo because they thought it was fun? Not many, not just because it didn't sell that much, but the game is just nothing special and people who did play it don't bring it up much.

I do not need to heed the recommendations for games I've already played. I see masses of people who all think the same and refuse to be open to new works as dead ends.

Because Game Gear was a garbage rehash of the Chadster System. Shit didn't even have any based Alex the Kid games.

But Game Gear is better than the Masturd Incelstem.

Instead of going with Edgy The Edghog Shadow, they should have gone with the opposite of Sonic.

They alternatively could have just done a Wario style Dr.Robotnik game. Something where you use a bunch of machines and vehicles to go through ruins trying to steal the Chaos Emeralds. Or give Nack his own outlaw game gear run n gun hires by Robotnik to do the same idea.

>> No.9218842

aah yeah, that could have worked. play as the evil Dr Robotnik and see it from his point of view for once.

since when is sonic smart? he just busts shit up, maybe he's smart in the sense that he can think on the fly (especially when the fly is pretty fast) but i wouldn't say he's done anything particularly intelligent compared to say tails

Funny because I've always thought Wario was a sneak "answer" to Sonic from Nintendo. Much more rebelious than Mario, the "Play it Loud" ads and even some European ones really played up he wasn't your grandma's videogame hero.

Case in point, I know like 4 Sega and Playstation kids who had GB growing up and they loved Wario.
