Wario Land: The Shake Dimension - WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!?!

[Spolodaface]

"Wario Land: The Shake Dimension is the latest entry in the ever popular Wario Land series. It began on the original Game Boy as a fun 2d game with an original twist on the traditional platformer, requiring the player to manipulate Wario's physical form in order to pass puzzles.

It's great that the gameplay from the previous titles remains fully intact in the latest iteration. It's not so great, however, that the graphics and production values have remained the same, despite the series' big break into the current generation of home consoles.

What really makes me angry is the amount of praise this game is getting. While it may be a fairly decent game, it wouldn't be out of place on the Nintendo DS or even the GBA (with the addition of the Wario Ware: Twisted peripheral of course) and yet they have the nerve to charge consumers thirty pounds for the pleasure of playing it, making it a full priced title retailing for the same as, say, Super Mario Galaxy..."

What do you guys think? I think it's pretty ridiculous but i'd like some feedback on the subject.

Only bit of feedback i can think of is that wario started on the gameboy..not the gameboy colour.

Other than that I dunno what else to say.

Shake Dimension from what i've seen of the ads of it looks more like a DS title then a Wii title, but then again i guess the controller system is more Wii styled.

But still, looks much more like a DS title.
that's my only gripe with it.

But still, looks much more like a DS title.

I guess KOF XII also looks like a DS title to you.

Have you even seen the game in action aside from crummy Youtube clips?
