They are all great and playable!

But if you're a beginner in Wario Land, I suggest you the first ones (Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land or Virtual Boy Wario Land)

>>15455489

>>15455470

All of them are excellent. Except Shake It.

Haven't played it but from what I've seen and heard it's just a weaker and more shallow Wario Land 4

>>15455512

>best game in the series

>the game where there is absolutely zero punishment outside of trudging all the way back to a certain part of a level to restart a section if you manage to miss a jump

It's a shitty metroidvania/walking sim hybrid. Not a Wario Land game.

EXCELLENT

Wario Land is seriously underrated, at least to the mainstream Nintendo audience. Wario himself is an underrated Nintendo character, he's amusing yet stronk as fuck.

What is it about Wario Land? I never bother to collect coins in Mario games, but for some reason in Wario Land I need every single damn one I can possibly get. Is there something with the game design that evokes this behavior?

>>15455470

Yes, they're all

EXCELLENT

But maybe that's just me, I think all the Wario Land games are good in comparison to similar games. Even the ones that are mediocre for the Wario Land series I feel are good games overall.

And I've never played Virtual Boy Wario Land, I haven't been able to find a good emulator.

Confirmed by Wario Land 4: Wario likes hot teenagers and mature women. Hates lolis and ugly hags.

I personally like Princess Shokora's "teenager" form the most. This is why I sometimes purposely miss a few treasures to get that ending.

>>15456631

Still would hit it.

>>15456606

I personally prefer the adult form. I really like her profile and how she actually looks like like a powerful adult instead of a 15 year old in a dress like most princesses.

The music sure but subtle things in the art gave it depth for something running on a 180x144 lcd; simple things like good use of dithering and objects dissolving into the foreground go a long way. And having most common enemies look emotionless gave it a sense of isolation.

A gold digger would be a poor ass women who doesn't want to do anything for herself besides ride off someone else's money. Wario is the opposite of a gold digger, he gets his own money and he does things his own way.

Bobo is so cool. I want the original bosses from the first Wario Land game to return somehow despite many of them having weird names. In fact I wonder if they ever returned if NOA this time around would try to change some of their names in a futile attempt to appeal to "western audiences", especially Bīfun, Hinyari, and Zenisukī.

>>15455470

Wario Land 4 is the easiest to get into with it's production quality and Wario having the best movement/mobility of the franchise. That is the best place to start as to this day Wario still feels good to control.

It's not the best game though, while slightly not as fun to control the best Wario games are Wario Land 2 & 3, 2 for a more traditional linear platforming that gives you all of Wario abilities right off the back with levels you just get to the end (but there are multiple paths and endings), 3 for a more Metroidy-like progression that you unluck your abilities as you go while continuously exploring levels in a more nonlinear fashion and even sometimes will go back to new sections of a previous level thanks to the new upgrade you got.

>>15455527

Shake it is fun but you are 100% correct, it's just a inferior Wario Land 4. Visuals and Music are excellent though.

Considering they both technically stem from the same series, Nintendo should make a game starring Wario and Daisy. It'd give Daisy-fags what they've been clamoring for, Wario fans get a new game, and maybe we'd get to see some Mario Land elements that haven't been around for a few decades.

>>15467122

You fucking people are just as bad as the faggots who want Waluigi to have his own game.

>>15467471

>arguing over who's the likes what more / who's the biggest fan like it has any merit to it

But you should learn what's realistic and what's cringy fan-fiction-tier. I simply want what's best for both series and I'm willing to critique them. Nothing is perfect and not every idea is a good one, especially between different groups of people who might be looking for different things between each other.

I bet you're the same autist asking for Mona to be playable in the Smash Bros. threads.

>For them it's their only love but for him it's just the fifth bitch he's fucked today

>>15468420

>wario's love interest

She's only Waluigi's love interest. Luigi and Waluigi share a love interest in Daisy. Mario and Bowser share a love interest in Peach. Wario doesn't have a love interest, his only love his money, gold, treasure, etc. He's too fabulous to be bothered, the only lady he needs is cold hard cash.

>>15468469

Funnily enough, the symbol on Waluigi's hat is a real letter. It's a Cyrillic "G" implying Waluigi himself is Russian or Slavic, and that G could possibly be the first letter of his real name.

Ironically, Touched is the best selling WarioWare game. And in comparison, the first Wario Land game sold over 5 million while the first WarioWare made a little bit over 1 million. I can't understand why Nintendo keeps opting to make more WarioWare games instead of Wario Land.

>>15468695

>What's wrong with wanting Waluigi to have his own game?

Multiple reasons. For one, it's not in his nature. Waluigi's ambitions lie in competitive spirit and wanting to win and come out on top. Showing off and proving how he's better than others. Whether that be sports, racing, dancing, parties, etc.

Second, I don't think it's necessary to give every Mario character their own game. Peach didn't need one. And Luigi's Mansion is more of circumstance. Even in that game, Luigi is in Mario's shadow. He's looking for Mario, trying to save Mario. Luigi is of a more relax and calm demeanor than Mario, he has no need to go out exploring or doing marvelous things unless he's brought along with. Or in the case of Paper Mario, it's again circumstance or made-up stories to impress his brother. On the other hand, Wario can work just fine without Waluigi but Waluigi can't work without Wario. Mario is a widely popular and influential character, it makes sense to have a doppelganger trying to imitate his likeness to steal some of his popularity. But why would anyone try to imitate Luigi unless they were purposely trying to ride off the duo aspect of Mario and Luigi?

Third, Waluigi by design is intended to be an awkward character, this is also the reason for some, he has become somewhat of a joke character. He's generally funny to look at. But for a character to have their own game, you need an instance where form meets function and vice versa. Their design needs to match the things they do and be able to stand as it's own merit. Waluigi by design is someone that isn't meant to be taken seriously, so why would you take him seriously as a main character unless it was a WarioWare-esque joke game?

What I wouldn't mind is having Waluigi as the main villain of a Mario sports or spin-off title. If I'm correct, he was supposed to be the villain of Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix, but got shafted in favor of more traditional elements. It would fit Waluigi's character, he'd want to outdo everyone else, but cheats and rigs everything in his favor and ends up causing some huge mess you'd have to fix to give everyone a fair competition. Could be like Mario Sports Mix too where you have to face off against Waluigi in a variety of sports.

And if they wanted to, they could contact Ubisoft to create a Just Dance-like final dance-off battle against Waluigi for that game.

>>15468459

>Has all these cute girls desperately begging for his italian sausage

>Doesn't give a fuck

Why is Wario such a chad?

>>15468922

Well, thank you for giving an actual response. You make some really good points so allow me to give you my own wall of text.

>For one, it's not in his nature. Waluigi's ambitions lie in competitive spirit and wanting to win and come out on top.

Waluigi is competitive, and his overall goal can be easily defined as him just wanting to be number one and have the glory he feels he deserves but doesn't get, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has to restrict himself to sports or party games.

Consider that Waluigi's so far largest appearences plot wise all have him try to attain power somehow to become the best at something. In Mario Party 3, he steals the Mischief Star Stamp. In DDR: Mario Mix, he steals the Music Keys to become the best dancer in the world (that whole "spread chaos" thing is something people blow out of proportion to make Waluigi into the Joker). Mario Tennis Aces, he and Wario steal Lucien so they can, in Waluigi's own words, become the best tennis players in the world. Other games such as Fortune Street have him reference a desire for power and fame that's fundamentally different from Wario's.

The original Mario Tennis bio for the character even stated that he was trying to store enough power to match and compete with the Mario Bros (at tennis), and this is something the Smash bios reference too.

What I'm getting at is that playing sports and showing up at party games is just Waluigi's function, right now, and that isn't necessarily what his character is about. You could very easily make a Waluigi game out of a harebrained and idiotic quest for power or fame, and that's an idea that's been explored in fandom circles before, see: Psycho Waluigi and the pirate Waluigi ideas that have been floating around recently.

>I don't think it's necessary to give every Mario character their own game. Peach didn't need one.

I agree with this. And I can agree in the case that Luigi is an unlikely hero who still lives in Mario's shadow and wouldn't really work as well as a character if he didn't. But Luigi's Mansion illustrates why I think Waluigi needs his game because Luigi himself needed Luigi's Mansion. It was Luigi's Mansion that essentially defined what is Luigi's character, which was all over the place for the 2 decades prior, and gave him a style and a game series and essentially a character all his own that weren't just derived from being "green Mario". While I don't think Waluigi is that starving for character, the point stands that Waluigi, much like Luigi, absolutely should stand on their own even if they aren't meant to leave their initial places in the Mario series. Luigi never stopped being the underdog living in his big bro's shadow, and Waluigi wouldn't have to stop being the black sheep who never gets respect.

And as I said, Waluigi has no business being in Wario's games, and he's missed his chance at being a major villain in a Mario game. Frankly, as he is now, neither of these options suit him the same way him breaking out and finally getting his own game do.

>Wario can work just fine without Waluigi but Waluigi can't work without Wario

Out of all the arguments I've seen as to why Waluigi shouldn't get his own game this is the one I can understand and accept the most, even if ultimately I don't agree with it.

Much of Waluigi's character was built from the Camelot cutscenes which starred him and Wario, and they've established them as a comedic duo. Which can give you the impression that Waluigi needs to be part of the duo to function, because that's what endeared people to him in the first place, being the Laurel to Wario's Hardy. But just because Camelot has specifically written Waluigi and Wario as a inseperable comedy duo, doesn't mean that this has to be all that Waluigi gets when he's written, because most other takes on Wario and Waluigi that weren't made by Camelot didn't stick to this rule. Wario's development team ignores Waluigi's existence, and most of Waluigi's other appearences have him function separate to Wario, as the flamboyant yet cynical oddball with a chip on his shoulder looking out to be number one.

Consider also that Waluigi and Wario haven't really done anything together since the cutscenes from Mario & Sonic (and much earlier, those Gamecube movies made by Camelot), and that Waluigi and Luigi haven't really interacted since that cutscene from Mario Tennis, and you see that, ultimately, very little of Waluigi's current character, and people's experiences with Waluigi, are predicated on Wario, or Luigi for that matter

He very well could function independently if given a starring role suited to his brand of mayhem>>15468922

I'll split this into another reply.

>>15460052

>peak physical

He's built like Kyriakos Grizzly. If your only metric for 'peak physical' is 'raw fucking power' then fuck yeah he's got peak form.

If you want mobility and jumping in there as metrics, he sure as shit isn't.

>>15468922

>Waluigi by design is intended to be an awkward character, this is also the reason for some, he has become somewhat of a joke character. But for a character to have their own game, you need an instance where form meets function and vice versa.

First of all, being awkward is not a reason for a character to not be able to function in a starring role. Octodad is a great example of how the form defines function even if that form is weird and janky.

Waluigi's design actually makes him easier to make something out of because he has the most "human" proportions and design of the main Mario cast, besides the princesses. It's why it's easier to mod Waluigi into games like GTA or Zelda than it would be to insert Mario or Wario.

He is awkward in a different, more self-aggrandizing way that Luigi is awkward, and if Luigi's awkwardness translates well into his gameplay in his games, so should Waluigi's.

>Waluigi by design is someone that isn't meant to be taken seriously, so why would you take him seriously as a main character unless it was a WarioWare-esque joke game?

What makes you think he has to be taken seriously if he gets a starring role?

Wario wasn't taken seriously at all by the Wario Land series. Even when every other plot element was noticeably dark, and even when the characters were darker, Wario was still Wario, goofy anti-hero kicking ass and getting his ass kicked to kick more ass. There are a lot of other games (hell, media in general) out there with goofy, awkward and un-serious protagonists.

It's not like Waluigi falls apart the moment you treat him with the least bit of seriousness. In my experience as a long time Waluigi fan, I can honestly say that misery and relatibility are big reasons as to why a good portion of his fans like him. I'm not saying he should get a super angsty fanfiction-tier storyline (I personally really dislike when people interpret Waluigi as a brooding sad sack when he's really just an overdramatic drama queen who's mad nobody thinks he is as great as he does), just that he doesn't have to be a complete and utter joke.

>What I wouldn't mind is having Waluigi as the main villain of a Mario sports or spin-off title.

I can agree to this. If Waluigi isn't going to leave spin-off hell, he might as well become it's ruler then.

I'd also point out that one of the reasons why I think Waluigi should star in his own game instead of being a boss or player option in a Mario/Wario game is because Waluigi has drifted more into an anti-hero/villain role recently compared to what he used to be in the early 2000s.

But honestly, I don't think there are really any limitations on what Waluigi can do. The personality is there, the niche he has on the Mario universe is there, and while gameplay wise he might be a blank slate and without a really set origin, that's a good thing, because it ultimately gives developers free reign to do whatever they want (as they did with Luigi when they decided he should star in a Ghostbusters knock off that had no jumping or powers ups).

Waluigi is the single biggest wild card character that Nintendo has right now and he's being wasted in sports game. It's been 18 years already, the same that Luigi had before Mansion happened. I think Waluigi needs at least one game, and I think it's time they at least give it a shot. Psycho Waluigi proves the character can work as the lead, and Sea of Greed might also reinforce that. And things like the new Brawl In The Family book starring Waluigi surpassing it's Kickstarter goal, or all the outcry over Waluigi's exclusion from MK7 and Smash (annoying and cancerous as that was), proves that he has an audience and people willing to spend money for him.

All he needs is a chance.

>>15455427

Is the Wario Land series effectively dead thanks to Wario CalArts Ware? I would honestly have preferred Wario Land make a comeback and have some minigame mechanics and a few characters from Wario Ware in supporting roles instead of WarioWare continuing to be its own mind-numbing thing.

>>15456606

>Confirmed by Wario Land 4: Wario likes hot teenagers and mature women. Hates lolis and ugly hags.

>>15468492

Originally, some of the names Camelot came up with for Waluigi started with a J (according to the 2008 issue of the Nintendo Dream magazine), so its likely his original symbol/letter was gonna be a crooked backwards L resembling a J. Some of the names they came up with were Jeroji (not sure what that means), Juigi (Jewigi?) and Jinani (nani?).

And according to the link below, they also planned on making a Wapeach and a Wadaisy but Miyamoto rejected them and they were supposedly gonna be savage-looking amazons or something (or dressed like ones, fuck these moon runes).

>>15471242

Interesting. I've known that they thought of creating a WaPrincess but I didn't knew that they envisioned a "shemale Wario/Waluigi".

As it is I think it's for the better they weren't created then but I would like an evil princess to join the main cast at some point.

>>15471303

Tell me about it. Not counting his recent shit, fucker even hated DKC initially despite it being a huge hit in both the west and with japs. He just screams petty and uncompromising unlike poor old Iwata (rest his soul). Should've been Shiggy instead honestly.

>>15468060

>Wario World may not be the best in terms of gameplay or duration, but man if it isn't Wario incarnate

Pretty much this. More polish, more levels and more exploration of said levels while incorporating the transformations would have made this game superb, but either way it was 100% Wario. It has some of my favorite Wario voice acting too, back during Martinet's prime.

>>15468420

Wario and Daisy would dislike each other, especially since Wario may or may not have directly or indirectly responsible for her kidnapping in the first place. Which honestly would make a team up of them more entertaining, them hating each other throughout the whole thing has a lot of potential for comedic gags.

>>15468922

>Peach didn't need one.

She didn't but her game was great, hell of a lot better then the NSMB series for sure.

>Wario can work just fine without Waluigi but Waluigi can't work without Wario.

This is unfortunately true about Waluigi that I've noticed though, at least in the spin-offs. Wario stands out strong solo but Waluigi really has trouble branching out of Wario's shadow and he's almost always paired with him at every opportunity. Mario Tennis Aces Story trying to imply that Waluigi is also motivated by Greed makes this even worse for the character.

>>15471242

One of the few things I'm okay with Miyamoto shutting down. The Wa gimmick being overused would have been bad, and we would have likely had 3 Wa characters created only in spin-offs forever entrenched in spin-offs and never amounting to anything. Not only that but the abuse of the gimmick would have likely cheapened Wario himself as well. Most will disagree but I think this was a smart choice.

>people actually wanting doppelganger versions for every character

>people still believing the fake miyamoto dkc drama quote

>people thinking miyamoto is entirely to blame and not other developers adherence to appease him

Did this thread come from fucking Bizarro world?

>>15471394

This is a thread about what is essentially Bizarro Mario, you retard. Also who gives a shit if some anonymous posters don't like Miyamoto? Not like the man is infallible and without flaws anyway.

>>15471369

It's right there in the link that you posted although I could just be a shitty translation.

>Might've been an interesting set up for a possible "WAshroom Kingdom" as a bizarro mirror world of sorts.

Yeah, no, I agree with >>15471385 on this one. Wario and Waluigi are enough as it is, and at most I'd just take a single evil princess (not even necessarily a WaPeach, that concept is stupid), and really, we have Captain Syrup if they ever feel like putting a female villain.

It's weird that people are just now finding out about Boshi

>>15471399

>Having that many WA characters might have led to said characters (including Waluigi) actually appearing in Wario Land

I think it's the opposite and we'd have a lot of boring evil clones just being around for sports game. We'd just have an Archie Sonic problem.

Waluigi doesn't show up in Wario Land because the studio that makes Wario Land strongly hates using characters and series they didn't create (Wario was created out of spite for Mario and the princess saving storyline). I doubt any of the other WA characters, regardless of whether they were created by Camelot or not, would fare any better. Waluigi was lucky enough to last as it is.

>>15471385

>Mario Tennis Aces Story trying to imply that Waluigi is also motivated by Greed makes this even worse for the character.

Nobody really paid attention to the story of Aces so it's not that big a deal, and there's more to support the idea of Waluigi being motivated by glory than not. You could even kind of argue that his is a sort of greed too, just not on the money. There's even a moment in one of the Baseball games where Waluigi steals a treasure chest from Wario but agrees to give it back and join the team once Wario beats him, which reaffirms that it's not so much money as it's the attention Waluigi is after.

Camelot just kind of treats Waluigi and Wario as designated comic relief rivals with the same goals but separate gimmicks, Wario being the strong fatass who likes garlic and generally doesn't care about anything, and Waluigi being the contortionist and flamboyant weirdo who tries way too hard.

As it is I think there should be at least an attempt made to move Waluigi away from Wario's shadow, at least for a little bit. It's not like Luigi's case where he has to be specifically in Mario's shadow to work. Everyone overshadows Waluigi, Wario more so than the others. And Wario has fuck all to do with Mario these days.

>>15471407

I didn't say I agreed with him, only that he's not entirely to blame.

>Oh it's Japan's fault and their culture

That's not an excuse, either way the new Paper Mario's were left half-assed when they could've been decent even while being restricted to using characters around and before Super Mario World.

>>15471419

>Not like the man is infallible and without flaws anyway.

Didn't say he was, I just think he gets way much more hate for the mistakes he's made in comparison to amount of good he's done.

>>15471467

>Cold, distant, monochrome and showing no emotion.

Peach barely shows any emotion as it is and everyone loves the Wa characters for how exaggerated and expressive they are, so I'm not sure if that direction would work. You risk also just having an evil Rosalina, or the Shadow Queen.

The thing about Wario and Waluigi is that they are not so much as "evil" counterparts as they are exaggerated distortions, complete opposites in some ways but also eerily identical in others.

Wario is the same as Mario in a lot of ways, just done to the point of gross excess. Everything Mario does, collect coins, beat enemies, take castles, beat dragons and rescue princesses, Wario does so too, but with far more brutality and selfishness. Mario is strong and protective, Wario is buff and violent. Mario is active but Wario is extremely pro-active, always making his own riches and keeping busy. Mario is a bit of a over-eater, Wario is a glutton. Mario is confident, Wario has an ego the size of a whale, ect. To a slightly different extent the same goes for Luigi and Waluigi

So I figure WaPeach would just be this really intrusive, plastic bitch who wants to attain all of Peach's beauty, poise and authority through brute force (whether hers, or her henchmen's), gaudy fashion and intimidation. Peach's known for her graceful abilities and magical prowess, so I figure WaPeach would probably just be comically powerful with maybe some dark magic in her. Maybe instead of being kidnapped but still compassionate and understanding to her enemies, WaPeach would be so terrifying no one alive would dare to kidnap her and it makes her angry.

You know maybe the guys at Camelot were on to something when they said the WaPrincess would probably just be Wario in a dress.

>The game did not make the Top 40 in the UK when it launched- if you removed games in console bundles and bundled with accessories, it was #40. There's a distinc chance Game & Wario sold less than one thousand in the UK.

Shipped doesn't mean sold. Did Wario Land 2 and Wario Land 3 really sell at least 800,000 over in the US each to reach the million sold mark?

And why did the series sales really dip after the first game? It never got up to that much in sales again.

>>15474682

not a game, just mockup fanart from the Owlboy creator

>>15475762

Wario Land 2 came close to 800,000 and 3 surpassed it.

>why did the series sales really dip after the first game?

If I had to guess I'd say it's because the fact that the first game was sold as Super Mario Land 3, on top of being Wario Land. You put Mario's name in anything and it will sell.

>Actually trusting that shitty site for an accurate record of any game sales

I'm still curious what things would've been like if Waluigi had kept the "J" names. If he had been called Juwigi, would that shit have been censored at some point?

>>15473139

Too bad it'll never happen. Nintendo has no love left for old Wario Land…

>>15471509

>when they said the WaPrincess would probably just be Wario in a dress.

What if WaPeach and WaDaisy were just literally going to be Wario and Waluigi dressing up as the princesses to try and steal their schtick? I could see them doing that as some sort of sing that the Wa Bros are desperate to emulate others or that they're stupid enough to think they're crewed costumes can actually fool people into thinking they're the actual princesses and thus steal their fame and fortune.

>>15474193

>implying Wapeach wouldn't try to marry who kidnapped her to try to get at their wealth.

Sounds like the bitch in pic-related, except she does the kidnapping, raping and fortune stealing.

>>15477892

>WaPeach and WaDaisy were just literally going to be Wario and Waluigi dressing up as the princesses to try and steal their schtick

This is exactly the kind of shit Camelot would write for them and it wouldn't be the slightest out of character.

>Wario crams his gargantuan ass into a Peach dress and wig with some really bad make up, eyelashes and lip stick, and ends up looking exactly like Shokora's Wario transformation but worse. The dress rips further the more he stays in it and it gets food stains all over it. He doesn't even bother to act like Peach except by doing some cute poses every now and then and saying "oh no".

>Waluigi goes all the way into his princess disguise and looks far more immaculate and well put together than Wario. He fits perfectly in the dress and he is constantly sparkling fabulously, and he actually bothers to act like a woman (or at least, himself as a woman). Unfortunately he botches the plan because he forgot he was supposed to pretend to be Daisy instead of just Princess Waluigi.

>>15477942

A fat tumblr pirate queen from some mango/animu called One Piece. She's obsessed with diversity, is a fat insane fuck with pink hair, steals "diverse" men of either rich status or unique race, forces them to marry her, rapes them, then ditches them or kills them after she gives birth to their kid which she then uses to flaunt around her "look at how diverse and not racist I am" status, and she wants to bring about peace and equality through force, extortion and torment.

>not a perfect game but still fun as hell

>everything withing this game have solid bases that could be improved for an excellent sequel

>they never make a sequel

why they do this?

knowing that this game have so much unexploited potential hurts

>>15478340

Holy fuck that is genius she is like a metaphor for Hollywood.

>>15478727

Nope. I'm 100% serious.

The author of said series has been getting a lot of shit over the years for his "anti-feminist" characters and "sexist" remarks, his offensive portrayal of queers as ugly crossdressers, and his Q&A sessions, where he told a lesbian yurifag to stop being a pervert and for rejecting some guy's fancharacters for being a gay couple. Its currently one of the biggest long running mangas in Japan apparently.

Is this a Christmas Carol Wario comic or something? You got the rest?

Better to have died with dignity than get shat on by nu-Nintendo.

Cool, but why are Kid Clown and Bomberman there?

Also

>Wario was stood up at prom and all his life spent living in Mario's shadow

Wario was the virgin all along rather than the Chad? How horrible…

>>15479035

>why are Kid Clown and Bomberman there?

The comic was made due to the release of Wario Blast so the two were associated for that period.

>Wario was stood up at prom and all his life spent living in Mario's shadow

>Wario was the virgin all along

The fact that Wario got his shit together and willed himself into becoming an immortal badass treasure hunter and CEO, who doesn't need to try and hog Mario's popularity, makes him more of a Chad than anything.

Wario is a goddamn role model.

>Bad

The only negative thing about it was that it was a repeat of Arabasta thematically. Doflamingo was Dio levels of asshole and the arc also had one of the best depictions of a strong masculine father figures in any media I ever seen. If you are judging it by the shitty Toei anime then may god have mercy on your soul.

I've spent way too much time making this

i would have liked to also draw the hair and the hat,and substitute the weights with treasure chests, but sadly i don't really have all that free time

>>15483108

Nice.

It is kind of interesting that Wario and Waluigi are the only characters who seem to actually train and work hard to keep their athletic form. We never see Mario or Luigi or the princesses do anything.

Wario is a weightlifter and genuinely looks closer to a real life one than most characters of his type do, and Waluigi is a gymnast whose entire backstory is that he worked relentlessly hard until he could compete with the Mario Bros and whose trademark move (the Biellmann spin) is super fucking hard for males to do

>>15488338

Nothing will ever surpass the unshakeable pillar of autism that the Sonic fandom stands in, especially now that Wario is past his prime as a character and a substantial portion of fans are older (they have to be in order to have played Wario Land). Autism generally festers less on communities that are smaller, more tightly knit and consisting of older, more chill people drawn to the actual qualities of the work/character itself rather than some external fad or whatever. It's the difference between Rick & Morty/Bojack Horseman fans and Venture Bros/Space Ghost fans.

At worst you are going to find really bitchy WarioLand fags bitching about WarioWare, or obsessively autistic Waluigifags like me, but even then there's not many of them and the latter is more on the Mario fanbase. The thing about autistic Mario fans is that they tend to stick to the really murky depths of Deviantart and Tumblr, and thus they don't stick out as much as Sonic fans do despite being in a fairly equal number. They exist, no doubt, but you don't see that for a bunch of reasons.

Wario has it pretty good in general as far as fandom goes and the threads are usually some of the comfiest, although it sadly doesn't leave us with much to talk about since you can't really have much discussion if everyone is more or less on the same page.

Wait a sec, how can you play soccer without any feet?

Same way you can play baseball with no hands

>Wario and Waluigi both have games in development starring legally safe knock offs of themselves

I really like how both projects are looking but I also just wish we got actual Wario Lands and Waluigi games.

But I'll take it for the moment. They look great and, really, if Nintendo's never doing anything with them, the fans might as well do it.
