Quantcast



Nintendo has released a new trailer giving a more detailed look at Wario Land: Shake It! The video goes through the basics of the game and shows just how much the Wiimote’s motion sensing will play a factor in the game.

I absolutely love what they’re doing with the graphics and level design with Shake It! One thing that I noticed in this trailer that I didn’t in the debut video was just how cartoony the graphics look.

The only thing I’m not sure on now is all the motion sensing aspects. I was hoping Wario Land wouldn’t use too much waggle, but it looks like a lot of the puzzles and vehicle portions will require it. The game is called Shake It!, after all, so I shouldn't be surprised by the amount of waggleness that will be involved in the game.

Wario Land: Shake It! will be out on July 24th in Japan and September 29th in America.

[Via GoNintendo -- I know the video is partially cut off; can't figure out why, but you should be able to still play it without an issue.]

My wrists can't take this much punishment.

Looks awesome. I just got a small tiny problem with it: shaking the bags to get coins. I know it might have sound like a good idea, but no. The rest of the waggle is verily justified.

You can even shake the video! Just press the mouse middle button on it and waggle away!

Hurray for sucky embedding :P

It seems to me that the title would fare better if they replaced "Shake It!" with "Spank It!".

Oh man, I'm loving the hand drawn visuals. Adds a whole new flavor to it. Looks like fun.

I love the look of this and i don't think I've seen a game this jammed packed with classic platforming gameplay in a really long time.

... like a Polaroid picsha




so instead of "button mashers" we now have "waggle-fests" ??

Sounds like the name of the next National Lampoons direct to DVD film.

Looks like a pretty fun game and the graphics look great. However, Wario is still creepy as fuck.

Ok, now I'm excited. The art style is beautiful and it looks like it's going to be the best 2-D platformer in recent memory.

I like the look they gave this game.
It really looks like an Wario anime show, when I first saw the screens I thought they pulled of a New Mario Bros garphics styled game with wario, but this looks way awesomer.

Holy crap, that looks awesome. I'm hoping for the best Nintendo 2D platformer since Yoshi's Island (not that there has been many notable games since then).

Awesome, great thing they couldn't have just made this a DS game.

I love the art style. I could have done without all the shaking and whatnot, but it still looks cool.

This looks very, very good. O_O

I was thinking, 'oh no, not another platformer' when the news came out, but once I saw the video, I was won over. The animations just give a whole new level of character to the game.
