Wario Land: The Shake Dimension is a 2D platform game which once again sees Wario embark on a quest to find money. In the game a pirate leader known as the Shake King kidnaps Queen Merelda, and Wario sets out to rescue her. While it does seem noble of him to put his life on the line for the sake of the Queen, Wario’s true motives are to obtain the legendary Bottomless Coin Sack, a sack that contains a never-ending flow of riches.
The game will apparently feature five different maps that are ‘full of action-packed stages’. Each stage will have its own challenges to compete, some of which will include reaching the goal under a specific time limit or collecting a certain number of coins. There will also be heaps of hidden treasures to locate that will reward players with special items and help them progress through the game.
Similar to Super Paper Mario, Wario Land: The Shake Dimension is played by holding the Wii remote sideways. Additionally, players have to shake the controller to activate Wario’s special moves such as the Ground Punch, which stuns all enemies on screen and can open up new areas by manipulating your surroundings. When Wario is holding an enemy or money bag, shaking the Wii remote will also cause them to spill their contents (eg. money, health, etc). Finally, at certain points in the game Wario will drive vehicles, which are controlled by tilting the Wii remote.
Wario Land: The Shake Dimension is currently scheduled to be released on September 26th in Europe, with an official Australian release date still pending. We’ll have more on the game as new information becomes available.
