Wario shakes up a 2D platformer

Some early screens suggest that the previously announced Wii title Wario Land: The Shake Dimension is to be a 2D platformer.

The game will have you holding the Wiimote sideways to control Wario in a traditional way, but as the name suggests, shaking moves will be made too. Cut-scenes will help push the story along.

Wouldn't this be better suited to WiiWare than a full blown disc release?

I agree it should be a wiiware game.

Well, if they can make the game as long, as polished, and (not necessarily innovative) as fun as Super Paper Mario, I don't see a need to make it a WiiWare game. This could be the surprise of the year.

200 point WiiWare game, anyone?

Yeah, most definitely! But Super Paper Mario was a full-blown Wii disc release. And it wasn't even that fun in my opinion.

Looks alright. Most wario land games are fun so I think I'll be getting this, especially since it seems to have a new use of the wiimote.

Perfect, if it outdoes Virtual Boy Wario Land and Wario Land the original I'll be impressed.

I agree, this game would better suit WiiWare or perhaps the DS. There is no way I'd pay usual Wii game price for a 2D platformer.

Probably but what would be even more awesome and lucrative is they would combine warioware games and wario world games together.

Have any of you played Wario: Master of Disguise for the DS? It looks just like this! The coin system is back too.

If it's anything like Master of Disguise, I'm not touching it.

It looks like a comic book style game.

X-Play's "Wtf" characters: Waluigi, Birdo, and Daisy. I mean, they're just there as extras, just like Blooper and Hammer Bro on Mario Party 8. Don't need a game. Just need to appear as back-up.
