New Wario Game - First Gameplay Videos

I'm a total sucker for a lot of things that, ultimately, are more addictive than good. That list includes Pringles, funk music, and platform games.

The aforementioned Wario game for the Wii, entitled Wario Land: Shake It! is set to release at the end of September. The first gameplay videos have been released. Here's a sample.



After playing a lot of Mario and Donkey Kong platformers last week, this looks refreshing. It looks like the first instance of a Wii game where the point isn't "utilize the Wii's unique control system to blah-blah-blah!" I just want a straightforward platform game. This could be the answer.

Also, if you want to watch the opening sequence (in Japanese, of course), you can check it out here.
