When Moneytalks, Wario Listens

#1

Post by Dr. Furball » Tue Jul 07, 2009 3:57 pm

I wasn't sure where else to put this...

On-and-off for the last few months I've been working on a little tribute to the slightly-unloved Wario Land series, featuring AC/DC. It's my second music video, (my first one probably won't appeal to anyone here). Anyway, here's "When Moneytalks, Wario Listens".

Some clips are a bit fuzzy, sorry.

Well done, great job! Just asking, aren't Wario Land II and Wario Land III horrible?

WLII was actually pretty good, but it's a bit short.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!
To answer your edited question: yes they are. In fact, they're my favorites of the series.
WLII especially. Just going thru the game normally doesn't take very long, but finding all the treasures, secret exits, and paths that the story can take takes a long time.
What I really enjoyed about WL3 (it was the first one I ever played) was how Wario learns new moves over the course of the game. What I didn't like was how easy it was to get confused at what your objectives were sometimes.
Despite what's shown in the video, I haven't played the first Wario Land or Wario World, so I can't offer my thoughts on them.
Shake It! was a tad disappointing.

^ Wario Land is great, and I like Wario: Shake It!

The reason I ask about WLII and WLIII is because I've heard bad things about it, mainly because it's confusing, and Wario is invincible.

Despite being invincible, Wario is still vulnerable to the emotions of a normal human being.

I only played Wario Land 4. I wish I had it again.

Yeah. Wario Land II, with its vast plethora of secrets, treasures, and divergent paths is an amazing game, and one of my favorite platformers ever.
Wario Land 3 isn't as great, and Wario Land 4 was... a disappointment, to say the least.

I only played Super Mario Land, but the Wario Land games I felt were always the neglected brother to the more successful Mario games.

I always felt it was sort of unfair how they shoved away Wario's main image of the Microgame$ one.
Super Smash Quest: Fighting evil since 2002.
