The Wariolands are the four best games released one after the other in the history of gaming.

Damn, now I really want to play through VBWL again but I don't have 6 AA batteries.
I really need to get ahold of the AC adapter for the VB.

I fucking loved 3 but didn't like 4.

Will I like 1 and 2?

1 is a very generic, piss easy platformer. You can skip it
2 is the best GBC game ever made

1 kicks the shit out of 2, 2 is very very good but you can never die so the only challenge is by the 10 minutes you spend on each boss trying to figure out their pattern.

It's just different ways of wasting your time. Not being able to die does not make the game less challenging.

There's emulators anon, can even change it from black & red to black & white if you want. I think they even have support for other types of 3D modes too (like those red & blue glasses)

>> No.2326406

Yeah I know, but playing it on the actual VB has no comparision to emulation in my experience, even using 3D glasses.
I also love the VB's controller.

Your Virtual Boy's display is probably all fucked up due to age like everybody else's. And they're a bitch to fix.

Fuck off, it was the perfect gameboy platformer. Big easy to see sprites, slower gameplay, variety of hats, overworld map, amazing boss battles, minigames funny humor. It's worth playing because 2 and 3 are more in a metroid style where you can't die and have to unlock passages and backtrack. Totally different gameplay. Wario Land 1 is a pure platformer and one of the best of its kind.

I feel like 1 was really great, but still hadn't broken away from Mario Land. With the health powerups, comparatively minor amounts of backtracking, and linear progression, it still has its own feel, but was closer to a Mario game than any future title; not that it's bad or anything.

Wario Land 2 and 3 were much more unique, but I honestly didn't quite enjoy them as much. They had loads of personality, cool stages/enemies, and the powerups were really fun; but they moved so slowly (and in Wario Land 3's case, had so much backtracking) that I didn't really enjoy them as much as 1. It felt like I was repeating the same puzzles constantly, with even the tiniest screw-up forcing me to redo it. Like constantly setting Wario on fire and messing up a series of jumps, forcing me to watch him burn out and redo it. Might just be my short attention span or lack of skills or the fact that I only ever played 2 in Japanese, though.

Wario Land 4, with the presence of powerups and puzzles, as well as the health meter, felt like a really great middle ground for me. Same for Shake Dimension. And aside from gameplay, they both had really nice aesthetics.

They're all awesome games, though, and it's a shame that WarioWare has taken over. I know people will hate me for saying this, but I wish we could have some of WarioWare's setting leak into a future Wario Land game.

Virtual Boy Wario Land has the perfect balance between Wario Land 1's style, and later Metroid-style games.

I liked 1. Far less dull and generic than SML, which was okay, but a bit disappointing after SMW even to my 10-year-old self.

I'd like a 3D Wario game with the WL2/WL3 mechanics for the Wii U. That's original enough for a new title, and builds on the meld of old and new in SM3D(W|L).

I fucking love Wario's Woods. Found it in the Toy's R Us bargain bin when I was a child. I like how it's a decent mix of tetris and puyo puyo.

I've seen gameplay, but not played it. It looks alright, but it never really appealed like the 2D games.
