When Wario Land Shake ships next month, it won't be the first motion-sensitive Wario game. Semi-old timers may remember Mawaru Made in Wario from 2004 which was packaged in a cartridge that included a "rotate" sensor to detect movement. Instead of using the D-pad to maneuver, players moved the Gameboy itself in twisting motions.In Wario Land Shake, players hold the Wii Remote horizontally and use the d-pad to move Wario across side scrolling levels. However, the game demands the occasional motion-fueled Wii Remote shake to perform certain actions to help Wario out. There's an up-and-down motion and a side-to-side rocking motion as well to make Wario perform special moves to conquer foes and obstacles alike. Since Wario is a world traveler, he'll traipse through the desert, swim in the sea, spelunk through underground caverns, and even wander through the jungle. A number of vehicles may also be operated by Wario for added variety in mobility. The preorder detail sheet lists a total of 20 stages in the game.
Preorders for the Japanese Wii import Wario Land Shake are welcome to ship on July 24, 2008 at JPY5524 or US$55.90 from NCS.
