  • The Wario Land series has always been one of my favorite Mario Spin-Off franchises, the only problem is there hasn't been a new entry into the Wario Land games since 2008's Wario Land: Shake It. So today, I wanted to take a look back at Wario Land: Shake It and see how well the series has evolved over time as Wario Land: Shake It may just be the best in the whole series.

      I got to buy WarioLand 1-3 on my 3ds and 4 on my Wii U before the eShop could shut down. So far, 4 is my favorite of them. They didn't meme it as Wario's "Greatest Achievement" for nothing. 💰

    I posted this on one of ProtonJon's vods, but I got an interesting story involving Shake It.
    A local mall back in another city had a GameStop store inside it back then, and Shake It was in the Wii kiosk. Whomever was in charge of the store didn't bother resetting the system memory between days, so over the course of several days several customers, including myself, ended up clearing the game. Drew quite a bit of a crowd when I beat the Shake King.
    Sadly, the employees eventually caught on, and there went all that effort.

    Hey my guy, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the transitions that you use for ad breaks for both your channels. I most often watch youtube on my TV so the ads aren't blocked. Your transitions make the ads much more bearable since they don't end up abruptly interrupting the videos in the middle of you talking. I wish more channels would set ad breaks to set times with proper transitions.
    Also I've always wondered how you find the original ad break transitions for the cartoons on your other channel. Like I get having footage for the shows, but I feel like it would be difficult to find all those break transitions, especially for some of the more obscure cartoons you've covered.
    Keep up the good work! I love your channels, they've quickly become some of my favorite to watch!

    I'm what you can call a Mario aficionado. I proudly own 100 games featuring Mario characters in some fashion.
    Despite this, Wario is the one Mario sub-universe I am least familiar with. I only have two games starring him, being the original WarioWare Inc. on GBA and more recently, Wario Land II as part of the GBC Virtual Console on 3DS. Wario Land II is my favorite; I like how Wario is essentially invincible and the levels are fun to explore.
    Shake It! is a game that I certainly heard about. Some fans proclaim it superior to the New Super Mario Bros. series of sidescrollers. I never played it myself, but am decently intrigued by it; the art style in particular is lovely.

  • @ShyGuyXXL
    @ShyGuyXXL Před 5 měsíci

    It's a really solid game, I just think the movement feels slow and rigid compared to the older Wario Lands.
    Wario can't ground pound while jumping sideways anymore, he can't duck-slide, and the physics of bouncing on enemies is way less fun to play around with. You can only jump off of an enemy once. After that, Wario gets bumped off himself. Also, stunned enemies can't be bumped around anymore. They just sort of get pushed along or Wario himself gets bounced back.
    This all makes it feel like you're no longer the powerful one pushing the world around at your whim, it feels more like you have to be careful not to get pushed around yourself.
    Add to that the fact that you can't even throw enemies upwards anymore without having to stand still and carefully aim the arrow up with the motion controls and it all feels so low energy. (unless you're in the middle of using the dash machines, I guess)
    I think Wario Land 2, 3 and 4 had the basic movements down perfectly. Wario was fun to control, the enemies were fun to interact with, throwing was quick and easy. So if they do ever make another Wario Land, I hope they get that movemement right.

    My favorite was wario land 2. It was unfortunate I beat the whole thing on Gameboy before the color version came out so I didn't get to play it in color without having to lose 100% of the progress.
    But my 2nd favorite is VB. it may sound odd but it's such a perfect blend of wario land 1 and 2 it's amazing. It's like maximum warioness too in the music. Of course my first experience with it was on emulator not on a real VB. If that was the case I might not feel the same level of love

    I heavily regret not bothering my mom to take me to gamestop to get this while it was being promoted.

      Someone whose 2 favourite Wii games were Wario Land Shake it! and Zack and Wiki?
      I don't know you, but I see you have a great taste - those two titles are among my favourite Wii games as well. :-D
      Both of them should get a remastered version on the Switch.
      The problem with that: Both titles rely on the Wiimote's gimmick. The remastered versions could use the Joycons instead but it wouldn't be quite the same.

    The first game was definitely my favorite but all the gameboy ones are great. Could you make a video on Wario World? I didn’t think that one was so great and I would like to hear your opinions on it.
