Aside from a disturbing lack of farting and motorcycles, this looks like a lot of fun.

Yeah this game looks awesome. I love how there are just so many animations and actions for Wario to perform. It reminds me very much of Yoshi's Island for the SNES and how amazing it looked back then.

Holly shit that looks awesome!

I no longer own a Wii, this may be the only game I regret I will not be able to play.

This is how Mario and Sonic should be done, why oh why can't they make me Mario and Sonic this way… it works can’t they see?

Just awesome 2d platforming done right.

Mind you this may be an exception to 3d platforming done right, insane videos:

Are the many 2D with a touch of 3D games that have been coming out for the Wii easier to develop than say a full 3D game like CoD4 or Ratchet and Clank?

I'm loving being a multi-platform gamer. I didn't even hear about this until now. It seems like once a month I get a good surprise regarding one of my systems.

Very fluid and frentic looking platforming gameplay. I've always liked the series on GB/GA. This is going to be a must-buy.

The video is widescreen but isn't the game only 4:3 ? If so that sucks.
