Bring back the Wario Land series!!!!! 🙏🏽
I am now wanting a new one after playing the 4th entry, it was so experimental and I love it
Yeah, exactly. When people like me are complaining about getting a sequel to games like Splatoon (which I get sold well) despite Nintendo’s massive IP, Warioland is a game that highlights that really well. I think Nintendo needs to find more 3rd party developers they can trust to make games. They have a few amazing teams under the umbrella but I would think they could get another 2-3 teams to make games that are being ignored.
Yes!! And another Wario World as well, PLEASE NINTENDO.
It's never coming back!!!!
@@Le-Monade Wario: Master of Disguise ruined any chances of that!
Let's have a moment of silence for Wario, The Treasure Hunter and the Wario Land series.
I would love a Wario and Waluigi RPG series. It could emphasise Wario traits from across the games with the treasure hunting aspect plus the farts and nose picking. Most importantly it will give Waluigi a chance to star and develop in a game as he deserves it after being a much loved support character for so long.
A Wario and Waluigi game made by the Mario and Luigi devs would have been a treat.
Forgot to mention Wario was in a 3D game called Wario World where he still continued his treasure hunting adventures, not to mention showing off his full fighting power and strength.
I really hope some day soon a new Wario Land game will come in the future, I really love those games back when I was a kid, wasn't too interested or fan of the WarioWare series.
Wario: Master of Disguise anyone?
I'm kind of on the same boat as you are, I grew up with toilet humor capitalistic Wario, but my favorite version of him is his unhinged original incarnation where he was created as the Bluto to Mario's Popeye (man what I wouldn't give for a Wario and Waluigi RPG 😭)
Also can we talk about how gorgeous that 2D animation is for those Mario Land commercials? It's so expressive, so *s m o o t h*
Wario deserves a new Wario Land, treasure-hunting, mysterious and funny game. It's my favorite phase and where the developers got the most creative.
Wario Land is never coming back!!!!
Treasure Hunter Wario is best Wario. Not only was he a rough-and-tumble badass with great games, but he also had a dynamic character. He'd have a really gruff exterior and be a bit of a jerk, sure (albeit a cool, fun jerk), but the games saw him develop from ruthless villain to actually gaining something of a conscience and an honor code. This can be seen by how willing he is to help the people of the Music Box World (despite the money promised to him, it turns out that Rudy lied, but Wario seemed just as disgusted with Rudy's plans and what he did to the Music Box people as much as he was angry about no money) and ESPECIALLY in Wario Land 4 with him helping out Shokora and saving her from the Golden Diva while also lifting the curse off the pyramid. Honestly, Wario Land 4 is when Wario cemented himself as being a true hero, and the ending seems to confirm this. Not only does he share a touching moment with Shokora (and she kisses him!), but he also drives home admiring the pretty sunset and reminiscing about the great adventure he had. The lyrics of the end credits add to it, showing how he made peace with his past ("I made peace with the time I had forgotten") and the jealousy and resentment he once harbored had withered away ("all I had gathered turned into sand").
Honestly, it's high time we got a new Wario Land. Enough with the farts and microgames - bring back the treasure and the adventure. Make Wario a badass again.
YES
Wario has always been a gross-out character in Japan. The "hypnotist" version was made up by Nintendo of America. While he wasn't farting in the Wario Land games, he was consistently shown in artwork and other media doing other gross things, like picking his nose.
It's no different than the "angry Kirby" that was on the box art of every Kirby game in the 2000's.
take the warioware games for example
literally every one of those has a minigame where you have to pick a nose that looks a LOT like wario's
THANK YOU. Everyone always ignores that he was never some sinister villain outside of American marketing.
Plus, most of the farting and stuff is a Smash Bros. thing, and Smash kinda has a bit of an issue with some characterizations
Exactly what I was thinking. Nintendo Life has been slacking on research and having sorta bad takes as of late tbh
@@MoonGhostDoodles Yeah, it's kinda crazy that the description says it's a "fantastic article". It's the same kind of ill-informed bad take I see on social media and Smash forums once a month from people who don't really know anything about the character other than "I REALLY LIKE THAT OBEY WARIO DESTROY MARIO COMMERCIAL" and "EWWW FARTS ARE GROSS".
*Wario back then:* _"Obey Wario. Destroy Mario!"_
*Wario now:* _"Look guys look! It is one of my greatest achievements."_
Wario back then: “Obey Wario. Destroy Mario!”
Wario now: “MY MUSTACHE HAS DEEMED THAT YOU GET MY WARIO STEAM!”
I hope Nintendo releases a Wario Land collection
And now we know they can do it on NSO service
But i think we need new game or at least remake or remaster of Wario Land 1
In January 2024 will be the 30th anniversary of the Wario Land series, so there will be an opportunity to do that.
I miss old wario :C He used to be my favorite part of the mario universe. The wario land games were amazing
One of my most-wanted Nintendo things is a new Wario Land game. What a series that was.
I loved the Wario Land series. Please bring it back!
It's never coming back!!!!!!
@@Austinator0630 Never say never as they say.
@@Vincentvondoom The Wario Land series was for the most part a replacement for the 2d Mario games given that the last 2d Mario game before New Super Mario Brothers was the debut of Wario.
Honestly, I want to see that old villainous, unhinged, and fearless Wario combined with the more comedic and goofy Wario in future games. He’s always been a bit gross even in the older games but it was turned up a lot since his beginning.
However, I think Wario Land 4 probably did the best in terms of making him feel strong but weird and I want to see THAT Wario come back with a vengeance!
oh man Wario Land 4 was so bloomin good. I wish we could go back to the GBA era.
As a massive fan of the WarioWare series, I have to say there really isn't that much of a difference over time. It's pretty clear the greed of treasure hunting carried over to him making a quick buck on microgames, and I think it makes sense. He's just as psychotic and maniacal throughout WarioWare and often does diabolical things like in Warioland games, and in many ways is just as beefy and tough. I mean you can play him and use the shoulder charge in Get it Together for starters, but also many (if not most) WarioWare games have treasure hunting boss games or at least minigames. I can think of four off the top of my head where you have to get to the end of a cave to hunt for treasure. Also there's a great hypnotism game in Get It Together haha, not that that's a reference. Just like Yoshi being occasionally adjusted to be more adorable and child friendly for Yoshi's Story or Woolly World, or Kirby losing copy abilities in exchange for a cute yarn game where you can't die, or Luigi being turned into an absolutely nervous ghost hunter for the Mansion series, the characters always completely change to fit the skin of a new concept. Wario is still a greedy badass and I don't think much has changed. The WarioWare series just does all kinds of insane things with his character. In case you forgot, they also added Wario Man, giving him flight, super strength, and laser vision. If anything, he's more of a badass now, he's just out of his mind and a slob.
He just hasn’t been lucky like in WL4, and last time he tried, he ended up with a used gold painted potty on his head xd, though he’s still very eager to go treasure hunt and beat whoever’s in the way, as seen in GiT
I'm old enough to have bought Mario Land 2 and Wario Land when they released originally, they were awesome games I played to death. I really miss Wario actually being in his own games.
I don’t normally get that shocked when people mention big milestones in years with video games… but Wario being 30 years old is nuts. An odd spinoff character is three decades old? Jeez
Wario was once respected as Mario’s rival. He’s better than overused Bowser Jr, & should be a boss more. Wario & Waluigi game = epic, or even a Mario & Luigi game battling or teaming up
It’s interesting to me that you so many likes for this comment that is not only NOT supported by the evidence, it is actively at odds with the evidence. Look up the international and Japanese marketing for Mario Land 2 and the Wario Land Game Boy games right here on TH-cam; there is zero hint of him as the “gross-out” character.
In fact, it’s not just the tv ads - prior to WarioWare, no promo art or print ads has him picking his nose or sticking out his ass or farting.
Nintendo Life wins.
Don't forget riding epic motorcycles, pumping irons, and saving the ghost of an imprisoned princess/queen
I love wario more than Mario, that's a fact. His bulkiness and strength make him a more interesting character to play. Just finish Wario land 1 to three, it's a shame that they don't make more Wario games anymore.
Wario Land 3 is a top 3 game of all time for me. It's absolutely criminal how the character has been handled.
Make Wario Great Again!
I miss the old Wario
Mario spinoff games ruined Wario.
I love first and second Warios
Wario got his shoulder bash back in Smash Ultimate, but instead of his side smash, it's his dash attack, which is fitting since the original name of the attack is the "Dash Attack."
BTW, Wario World is underrated and deserves a remake/sequel.
I'll tell ya what happened. Sakurai came around and added farts to Wario in Brawl, so spin off devs like Next Level Games was inspired and slowly became a trend.
I'll never forget the poorly uploaded video in 2008 of Brawl's reveal and questioned why Wario farted at the end of it. And I've played the Wario land games as young as I can remember.
He went from Macho, Bash & Cash to Stinky, Smelly and sure, he may look the part. But damnit, he's so much more.
Not to mention R&D1's disband for other Nintendo dev groups would fate Kid Icarus, Wario Land and Metroid to rare game releases. Hence why Metroid Dread took.. forever to become a thing.
There's also the passing of Hirioshi Yamauchi and Gunpei Yokoi who would champion for these series to get new games. After that, no one at Nintendo looks at the 3 series I recently mentioned.
Pizza Tower, Anton Blast, Treasure Island and other indie games pay proper respect to the Wario Puzzle Platformer.
The farting predates Brawl tho, if anything, it may’ve been Nintendo the ones wanting Wario to double down on the gross humor by making him fart a lot, though his very own games hardly followed, just a single microgame in Smooth Moves, and maybe the poop doodle attack from Master of Disguise, but not much beyond, it wasn’t until Gold were Wario himself actually farted on camera in a Wario game
Sakurai may’ve taken a lot of inspiration from the first three WarioWares, which were the latest Wario games during Brawl’s development, while also some moves being exaggerations to Mario’s, since he was conceived as a wackier meaner Mario, even the first Wario Land had many Mario elements like floating item blocks, Mario-style powerups, and Wario turning small when hit, and the heavier inclination to WarioWare may’ve been to further establish that Wario’s its own series beyond Mario in Smash, similar to how there’s a lot more Yoshi Story and DKCountry stuff over Yoshi’s Island and Arcade DK
@@dustymcwari4468 Thats why I was precise on the devs I mentioned. R&D1 didnt rely on gross humor for their games.
Whereas spin off devs and even Intelligent Systems just went with whatever was humorous for Wario. Hence why mario sports games and Warioware has a bit of potty humor.
But for the Land games, the worst offense Ive seen is eating Garlic. Shake it is from a third party dev, so they thought Wario picking his nose is part of him.
Its a matter of which team decides to handle Wario and most of them have gone with the "Haha garlic farting man"
@@rayminishi689 yeah, though it’s kinda odd that suddenly Wario began with the farting during the Wii era, as if someone told the devs that farting was officially a new trait to the character they want to see in game, and only the Wario game devs either refused, or barely fulfilled that, as opposed to the Mario spin-offs and Smash that just gave him weaponized farts and fart taunts right away
@@rayminishi689 Wario did Fart in Warioware Smooth Moves.
I really hope we get a Wario & Waluigi land game for the switch. Not only because I just really want another wario land game, but because I think waluigi would fit perfectly in the series
Wario land is for Wario fans only. Waluigi is filler character made for spinoff titles.
Remenber how in Master of Desguise, Wario made,in seconds, a device that could fuckin teleport anyone though an tv to the place it's shopping
I guess he is as smart a E.Gadd (cuz he also made an teleport tv thing)
That was made a shovelware company!!
I'm still waiting for a new Wario Land game :(
I really miss Wario Land Shake It on the Wii.
Sadly Nintendo sucks at backwards compatibility even though it's hard to do for Wii games cause of motion controls. They better improve BC a lot.
When i say im a huge fan of Wario, its the old tough, cool, intimidating, serious wario. Not the gross, less intelligent one that is of this day. Haha.
Who is this actually Wario?? 🤔🙄😲
Good video I miss Wario land series.
Sadly will probably never get another.
You never mentioned Wario World.
Feels like it's somewhat part of the Wario Lands series to me. Or you could count as an evolution since 3D platformer.
Wario: Master of Disguise anyone?
I think there should be a balance between gross wacky wario and macho wario. I think wario world is my favourite portrayal of him. It's a good balance
Man, I really do miss that tough, fearless, macho treasure hunter side of Wario. It makes him feel threatening toward his enemies, someone you don’t want to mess with, or he’ll mess you up. The Wario we got now is a complete joke.
But at the same time, the wacky dynamic between him and Waluigi works in that favor.
ez video catch
Personnally, I love the Wario Land series and I think it really shows what Wario is capable of but on the other hand, I also like the fun way he gets ridiculised with Waluigi in some Mario Sports game openings. I think that the "gross" phase is trying to tie this two up by showing that Wario can do powerful things by using unusual capacities like farting. However, I think that it doesn't work that well...
Sure, the Wario Ware games are fun in their own right but I think that they don't picture Wario very well. I would have prefered for the Wario Land series to continue and the Wario Ware series to be something without Wario. I also think that Wario & Waluigi's relationship isn't developped enough so maybe it would have been great to have a "Wario & Waluigi" series to contrast the "Mario & Luigi" one. But now that the gross personnality of Wario is well established, that it is clear that Nintendo just hates Waluigi and that the "Mario & Luigi" series is dead, all those hopes are shattered.
Tbh, I think Wario’s at a comfortable middle ground right now
Wario has no friends.
I miss wario land series alot 😢😢😢😢😢
I think we should celebrate the multi-faceted, multi-talented entrepreneur that a more mature Wario has become.
…He still needs his own role-playing game though.
Omg finally!!! Someone is speaking for macho Wario to come back!
I hate this new Wario.
To be honest he was way cooker back in the day.
I grew with this new Wario.
He's so lame now.
Maybe it's about time that Wario should become the Villain in the Mainstream Mario Games rather than to have him being playable in all those Spin-Off Games
Wario: Master of Disguise ruined any possibility of that.
What about Wario World GameCube 🙏🏽
His character is ultimately just a natural progression that plays into the idea of an “anti Mario.”
Mario is selfless.
Wario is Selfish.
Mario is Benevolent
Wario is greedy.
Mario is respectable
Wario is detestable
Mario is humble
Wario is shameless
And so on.
I think the rude, piggish portrayal of Wario is just further pushing the idea of an anti Mario.
Wario Land (the first one) is still one of my favorite video games of all time. I'm happy he's in Smash, but like Felix said...
Never understood the whole "Wario is on a decline" thing, because no matter whatever the take on Wario, they keep the most important aspect of the character: that Wario is, no matter what, a big greedy galoot who wants what YOU have and will do whatever it takes to get it, whether it's treasure hunting, cheating, or making games. Greed is what's been at the forefront of Wario's identity since the beginning. Taking over castles, trophycating fighters, cheating at tennis, these are all just means to an end for Wario, the end of course, being disgustingly greedy.
wario and waluigi superstar saga
I grew up with the first two versions of Wario. I'm sad to see h as a joke
If anything, he dusted off, and came back stronger than ever -- difference is, he knows to stay in his own lane now.
I like how the Wario Land series shows Mario for what he is... or rather what he's become. Wario is more like what I imagine Mario would be in real life, a schlubby, fat, gross plummer. That can throw his weight around when he needs to. Mario has more or less become... I don't know how to describe it... sort of like Mickey Mouse. He only has one defining character trait and that's to be the best at everything he does. Bland and boring, get's the kids attention but leaves older people wanting more.
Wario Land 4 Wario for the win. One of my favorite games of all time. Wish the indestructible 'living legend' Wario would come back- especially for Mario Movie 2, I want him to be played by Dave Bautista.
I for sure want a new Wario Land or World game! Or both! 2D Wario land, and 3d World like Wario game.
The Wario Land series never really clicked with me. I liked Wario World, but it's hard to replay. I do think power ups could have gone a long way. So the tough treasure hunter phase is just kind of whatever to me. I never played Mario Land 2 or any of the games Wario was featured in as a kid but I still knew who he was and he was really built up in my mind as Mario's rival, the Venom to his Spider-Man, when I found out later that Wario had a relatively small role in the Mario mythos, only being the antagonist of one mainline game and being an antagonist in some very small time games like Mario and Wario, Wario's Woods, and Mario Clash, and that Waluigi was literally only in spinoff games, I was kind of deflated. I love the Wario Ware games but it feels like a brand new series they came up with and slapped a popular Nintendo character on to help it sell more...
So my feelings on Wario are... very mixed....
It feels like his biggest fans would be the phase 2 fans who are probably also the most disappointed right now. Personally speaking, I wish he would live up to what I thought he was as a kid and go back to being Mario's rival. I love Wario Ware but the series never needed Wario to begin with... and as someone who doesn't enjoy the Mario Party series or the Mario sports games, I never understood the appeal of Waluigi, so i'm not particularly dying to see "Wario and Waluigi's wacky friendship" either. So that's my two cents.
I've loved the treasure hunting games. Would love to see a new one coming to the Switch.
I'm over here still waiting for a sequel to Wario World on the GameCube. If not a sequel, then at least a port. I think that game strikes a good balance showing Wario as both a weird, gross man and a macho, tough guy that could kick your ass.
That stache..
Anyway, I'm team Wario. I hate the Warioware/Biker era Wario.
The Wii Kirby remake coming out on the switch next year has me hopeful for a switch port of Wario Land Shake-It.
Another great video Felix! I replayed that Mario slap like 6 times 😂🤣
For the love of God that stupid comic is not Canon. He hate mario for reasons never explained. He just anti-mario and that all. Stop using a stupid comic that has no ties to the games dammit.
where was wario world I thought you would show him and phase two when he's a tough guy since he literally picks people up and throws them while he's treasure hunting. I think it's for you as best game and it was on the GameCube so no taking it back
It's worth noting that Warioware was made by Nintendo R&D1, the same dev team that made the Wario Land series
WTF no mention of Virtual Boy Wario Land????? thumbs down.
i recognize wario as he is in wario land, but i dont mind the gross out stuff
My first Wario game was Warioland 4 and the only other one i had was Warioland 3, but i played those games CONSTANTLY because they were so cool and fun. So I'm more accustomed to Treasure Hunter Wario. Though Garlic has ALWAYS been his signature food.
I never got a chance to get into the WarioWare games so when he showed up in Brawl I was completely baffled by his weird new outfit and bizarre non-Warioland moveset. (Though apparently his moves are actually from that wario gamecube game). I miss and prefer Treasure Hunter Wario and the Warioland games but i guess microgames are his niche now and I just have to live with it.
I would love to see a full-blown Warioware film or show, but with the older "adventure-era" bent to it.
Hell even the wario ware games are being ignored.
Back then there qas a ton of them but noq we get maybe 1 and its not even that good.
You forgot to mention wario's game on the GameCube! 🎮🕹️🎮
Can you add a Short to the channel? just the start of this video to right before the Switch snap
Pretending Master of Disguise never happened is always for the best
Yeah Smash ruined Wario as a character, dunno if it was Sakurai who decided it but I hate it.
i fucking love badass wario so much more than gross wario dude
I always thought there should be a Wario x Shantae crossover.
I honestly think wario land wario and warioware wario are different people.
I really like the treasure crazy version of wario but i genuinely like what he is now also haha.
Wario treasure hunt is the best, love the old time when he was just the bad guy
Treasure hunter Wario was always my favorite phase
I like the 2 and 3 phase both, and Maybe they could be combined?
I love modern Wario because he's literally me
happy (late) birthday wario!!!!!!!!!!
i do miss the treasure hunter wario tho
I honestly prefer the wario land series over the wario ware series.
Both series are great but i just prefer the wario land games.
Wario went from badass to fart man
Wario 2nd phase will always be my favorite
Wario Land is never coming back.
Warioland was the only fun game i had on my Virtual Boy.
Wario is God.
You know you scared me a bit, lmao. I use nick as an avatar on other platforms so I was like WTF did I just comment and not realize it? Lol. Ace attorney is one of my fave franchises ever!
@@thecunninlynguist Wait, really? Coincidence? I think not!
Id love a Co Op "Wario and Luigis mansion"
My earliest memory of Wario was Wario Land for the Virtual Boy. What an odd, odd system!
OG wario land was sick, I played that a lot
Everyone forgets Wario world 😔
A lot of corporate characters nowadays are stereotyped.
Wario even stole the treasure‘s "a"! 😅
Treasure Hunter. Wario Land Series.
Treasure Hunter Wario was pretty cool but I was always a big fan of the Warioware series.
Good for you because that really is the only thing Wario will ever be remembered for.
He Was Literally Immortal.
What about wario world greed is good
Smash ultimate has the shoulder bash
Mario land 2 is the best wario imo
Wario is the definition of dirty 30
Final, cause I love wario ware
3:43
"Hey! Do not steal that gold statue! I worked hard for that!"
"Say Wario... remember that time I had a huge mansion and you kicked me out of it, taking over and making me go through land to space to get it back?"
" .... Do not be that guy right now."
"Oh, I'm gonna be that guy right now."
Wow it's the anniversary of wario's 30th birthday! I was in high school when Nintendo created the wario character and the first wario game on the Gameboy! Happy birthday wario!🕹️🎮🕹️
Wario as a playable character in Mario Kart 64 with his own track... ahhhhhh... good times... But, watch out when making that jump near the end of that course. One of the most fun courses suddenly becomes the most frustrating in an instant!
