was it ever really popular?

death of the handheld

Yes? Wario was HUGE back then.

They kept downplaying the obvious jewish caricature he was more and more in each installment.

>People always complain about why Wario Land died off.
>When most people, even on Yea Forums, weren't even aware of Shake It/didn't even play it by now.
>The game with 2D hand drawn animations, anime cutscenes, and played similar to Wario Land 4 to boot, and must have costed a pretty penny to make, and sold underwhelming as well.
Nicholas Morris
Kys retarded zoomers, I want you dead you piece of fucking shit.
Andrew White
Fuck you bitch. We spend months faking interest on Yea Forums for the nintendo marketers to make bad decisions off of and you go and ruin it instantly!
Eli King
maybe it's cause I lived in an american backwater shithole, but I was the only person I knew who played Wario Land, let alone Warioware
>t. not like the other girls™ zoomerfaggot

If they called it wario land 5, and it wasnt so cutesy looking compare to 4, i would have bought it like i did wario world.
Juan Bailey
Which Wario costume waa best?
Luke Hughes
Wario World sucked, too short and enemies were reskinned.
Ayden Taylor
>the only remnant of SHAKE IT today is wario's victory theme in smash
bros...
Ethan Jackson
They made Wario more disgusting and obnoxious in the Mario games and since that is usually kids first meeting of the character they are turned off.
Jeremiah Long
It didn’t. If you grow to love Wario you love him for life. Miyamoto and his cronies just sabotaged the series because he hates everything he doesn’t invent.
Zachary Baker
I still bought it and beat it. Wario was VERY fun to control in that game.
Isaiah Harris
Why make Wario games when you can just resell Mario games instead? And I'm not saying that because I agree with it. Fuck Shiggy and fuck Nintendo
Nolan Gonzalez
New Super Mario Bros sold 100 gorillion copies and became the de facto handheld flagship series (and eventually got to home consoles too), so Wario simply couldn't compete. Add to that the fact that R&D was disbanded and that the games outsourced to other studios weren't very good and flopped.
David Flores
Classic yellow/purple with short sleeves.
The biker suit is way too busy and long sleeved hasn’t got the same personality. He’s got to show off his guns.
Blake King
DS Lite sold 93 million units and all Nintendo could do in response was make the half-assed Master of Disguise
Brandon Cook
I wish Good Feel had kept making Wario Land games after the Wii one instead of being put on Yoshi dutty. I loved that games art style, it was so good.
Ethan Lewis
Various nintendo franchises lately are having some kind of revival via remakes or some kind of sequel, even some obscure shit for the west like the famicom detective club, pretty sure sooner or later we will have wario land back like this.
Tyler Rogers
he is now eternally LE FART MAN because of a shitty japanese manual
strong aspect of strong-fat is gone, now he is just fat
Gavin Cox
Classic yellow/purple plumber.
As for Wario Land games, I assume it's because it was just another platformer that didn't really do anything too different to the point that they felt like they could keep it going. It never really felt to me like Wario was really acting like a villain or anything more interesting, he just had some (really quite good) games based around collecting coins and treasures. But around wii-time he never managed to stay as popular. Then he got into his own thing with Wario Ware and they were happy with that. NSMB2 went coin crazy so clearly they just don't care who their coin guy is anymore.
Eli Collins
short-sleeved original
Colton Rogers
Classic.
Biker should be the alt, not the other way around.
Charles Cruz
>NSMB2
biggest affront to Mario and Wario all at once.
Mario doesn't care about rewards, why is he collecting coins obsessivly?? If the japs weren't so stuck up they could have had Wario and Waluigi instead, would have fit the theme better
Ian Morales
>The biker suit is way too busy
Is that a /fa/ term?
Nathan Cook
I remember on release it was revealed there were rewards for meeting coin thresholds in game; I was hoping that Wario would be an unlockable, but alas, no fun allowed.
Grayson Howard
Zero soul
Grayson Lewis
Biker, it sets him apart from Mario's design and there's a lot of complimentary colours. I kind of wish that the explorer's hat became part of his permanent design after WL1, just ditch the yellow cap.
Sebastian Rogers
Jayden Perry
I still remember when the official trailer for Shake It on YouTube literally broke the web page around it as it played.
Blake Anderson
>No 3DS Wario Land game
Truly a dead franchise
Jaxson Rogers
"Wario Land: Shake It entered Japanese sales charts as the eighth best-selling game of the release week at 25,000 copies.[21] The game eventually slipped several places on the charts, but climbed back to tenth place for the week ending August 21, 2008.[22] Japanese sales of the game reached approximately 114,263 units by the end of 2008, according to Media Create.[23] As of December 2008, Wario Land: Shake It sold about 150,000 copies in the United States.[24] This figure fell short of the game's 350,000 sales goal, which the marketing team attributes to a weak economy and lower video game sales overall.[5] Despite this, the game sold 1.06 copies worldwide. [25]"
reminder this was on the console that broke 100 million units.
Ethan Cox
I bought a copy on launch
Grayson Ramirez
one of the best box-arts ever
powerful wario game 2004
Jose Peterson
they improved the final boss fight in this version
Christian James
I could try to think of reasons that have to do with sales numbers or individual employees, but I prefer to just call Nintendo retarded for abandoning the superior platforming series.
FUCK I miss Wario Land, bros.
Christian Ward
It never did. There's no such thing as a bad Wario Land game. Nintendo simply stopped making games.
Anthony Collins
sex with wario
William Smith
I don't think that's as relevant as the fact that Warioware sold more so he was shackled to that for the rest of time.
Logan Gomez
Ian Collins
Fun fact, that jingle originated from Smash to begin with.
Brayden Cruz
Can't beat the classic yellow and purple. I'm guessing the biker was used to better split Wario from being associated with Mario which just screams Shiggy's weird meddling.
Liam Baker
Brayden Perry
I miss Treasure
Cooper Gutierrez
t. wario
Henry Turner
ironic considering the american release was 2003
Landon Reyes
Miyamoto started assassinating everyone who likes Wario because he couldn't stand the thought of a character he didn't create being more popular than Mario.
Ayden Bailey
"Mario and Luigi are the same as always, of course, and suggestions for the other two characters included Wario and Waluigi, Toad, and Princess Peach. The thing is that with Wario he'd need to have a fart attack, Peach would have to be able to fly with her skirt, and so on. With this game we wanted every character to play the same way."
- Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking to Famitsu magazine.
Brody Thompson
>tfw no smug pirate gf
Ian Diaz
But Wario games never sold as well as Mario games
Adrian Morgan
I don't enjoy Wario Land 2 and 3.
Grayson Cruz
>The thing is that with Wario he'd need to have a fart attack,
Why though? What's with Miyamoto thinking Wario is just farts and garlic. That's what I'd expect from a western studio trying to make a Wario game, like saying Mario is just DUDE SHROOMS ARE DRUGS BRO
Hudson Barnes
That doesn't matter. Wario exists, and wasn't created by Miyamoto, so anyone preferring Wario over Mario is a grievous insult to Miyamoto.
When Miyamoto's work is done...
Nobody will remember that Wario ever existed.
Wyatt Myers
Camden Diaz
I respect your opinion but your opinion is wrong.
Samuel Jones
I doubt he knows much about wario land or wario as a character
James Cruz
OH THE DREAM
Levi Cook
what about 4?
Sebastian Cook
I don't enjoy WL1.
WLVB & WL2 are excellent.
WL3 is good but it feels like they ran out of good ideas after 45 chests and had to make 100, and the early game didn't have some of the good ones either since you have such a small list of abilities.
4 is also excellent but I prefer 2.
Shake It is just below 4 and just above VB.
Cameron Bailey
I always assumed it was some crappy spin off that would prioritize the shitty motion controls. I had no idea how much effort they put in to it
Michael Anderson
It'll be cancelled by ADL
Gabriel Gray
Probably because you're a Troon, based on your image
Joseph Thomas
Wait, anyone has actually played the Virtual Boy one?
Carson Martinez
with emulation, yeah. it's a good game.
Hudson Ramirez
I wish that rumour from a few years ago that they were remaking the VB Wario Land ended up being true. Seems unlikely at this point, its been long
Jeremiah Myers
those lazy cunts at nintendo couldn't even be fucked to put it on the 3DS
Robert Gutierrez
Shake It kinda sucked if I'm gonna be honest. Game looks great and I love the presentation, but the gameplay just felt throughly gimped compared what came before.
