Yeah, this, I don't think it's necessary to explain just how good this game is when there's already a full book dedicated to all of its aspects.

Everyone likes it, and modern nintendo is pretty much incapable of doing another one.

>1 that low

Shit taste to be quite honest, famalam.

>>390088070
wow one of the worst rankings ive ever seen. did you even play a single game?

>>390088281

WL1 is to WL2 as SMB1 is to SMB3. It's still a fantastic game, but the later games were just such a huge step up that I can't not rank them higher.

Anyway, let's see your shit opinions.

I always wanted this game when I was a kid. I loved Super Mario World and on
day I saw this game on a store and the back made it look like more of the same
but with a cool new character. I never got a GB Advance to play it on.

I currently am playing thought the Mario Land series, so far I got Mario Land 1, 2
and Wario Land. Are the Wario Land games any good?

R&D1 > All other parts of Nintendo.

>>390088750
this, they're the only ones that get to do new and out-there shit

>>390088490

If you put it that way, I guess I have nothing against it, as long you still consider it to be good.

To me, I can't honestly pick favorites, each does its own thing perfectly. One of the very few series I would struggle to pick favorites/properly rank for.

>>390088070

I had a bootlegged version I bought on holiday in Turkey. Fucking amazing game. Is there anything modern that comes close? Preferably for android.

>tfw we will almost certainly never get another 3D Wario game

>>390088641
wario land series has some of the finest platformer games i've ever played in my entire life

Is there any other platformer that comes close to WL4? like honestly?

Does anyone have a .pdf of the book so I can actually read it cuz I've been wanting to ever since I heard about it.

You mean to tell me this isn't already something all Wario fans have grown to accept as a reality?

Are there many games like WL4 for the nintendo 3ds? Is there a point in buying one secondhand for playing these kinds of platformers during my commute?

Played Mario Land 1,2, and Wario Land. Got to Wario Land 2 and quit within the first few levels. The action is just boring and the billion routes and treasure minigame shit isn't appealing to me. Didnt get around to any of the later ones after that hiccup.

Ye, that one's pretty rare and severely underplayed, only the few that knew about it back then would even dare to play it.

There's the trademark shit involving its Japanese subtitle, but who knows what'll come out of that.

no game makes a rather big and intricate (but still linear) level out of 1 theme per stage (combining 4 stages' thematics being kinda in the same direciton to form a door)
>A good mixture of exploration, interesting enemy archetypes, and aesthetic looking environments
DKC3 is my personal recommendation, it's got the best overworld, it's non-linear in various parts, and it's got quite the unique northern mountains looks and feel, just make sure you play the SNES version and not the GBA version
and exploration isn't limited to the overworld, each stage has 2 Bonus Coins, as well as a DK Koin to find (each stage's flags mark wether you've collected them, mind you)
and here's some taste of the soundtrack:

Because Nintendo is retarded and dissolved all their good R&D teams. Nintendo is pretty much jews. Wario was literally made as a response to Nintendo trying to force the team to make Mario games.

really digging your vagueness, are you really trying to shit on the saw stage, or the lightning stage, or the bees stage? I can't even remember a gimmick that was bad from DKC3, the "worst" ones were "git gud" material

One thing I never fucking understood was that bar beneath the hearts. What the hell was it?
It seems it filled up when you collected those red orbs from enemies, but filling it to the max didn't fucking do anything.
I remember reading an early article in some gaming magazine about the game having RPG elements, but that didn't seem to happen. Apparently, they were going to add a garlic meter or something, but they scrapped the idea.
What's weird is that the bar is present in some versions of the game. I think PAL and JP, but not in NTSC. Looking at random screenshots, it's there in some and gone in others.
Does anyone know what the fuck was up with that?

>>390099027
It gave you another heart if you weren't already full on them.

>>390099027
In 4? You get a free heart when it fills up. It stays full if you already have max hearts

>they will never see the light of day

>>390099027
Oh, that's easy. The bar fills when you collect all the little red orbs. When the bar is filled, it gives you another heart. When you have maximum hearts AND the bar is filled, the red orbs turn into extra coins, rewarding perfect/no-damage play.
