Wario Land, PixelJunk Eden Dated (For Japan)
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 12:00 AM on July 10, 2008
You've seen them, you no doubt by now are already swooning over them, but when, exactly, are Wario Land: Shake It (Wii) and PixelJunk Eden (PS3) coming out? For the West, who knows. But for Japan, it's soon. Wario will be out on July 24, while PixelJunk Eden will be released a week later, on July 31. International releases probably won't be too far behind, but for the desperate and impatient, can't imagine either will be burdened by an excess of Japanese text.

Is the Warioland game Wiiware or store bought? I have yet to hear any sort of confirmation either way.

Anyone know if there will be a demo for PJ Eden?
I'm a PJ Monsters nut, but I'm still a little iffy on the mechanics/gameplay for Eden.

Shaking a big bag of money till coins fly out...
Where's the Kotaku NSFW fish when I need it? Also, does Kotaku have Kotaku Mind Bleach as well? I need some.

If the coins are in a bag, why does Wario shake them all out and all over the place, only to have to collect them again?

Uh, Luke? They announced US and EU dates for Wario Land ages ago. It was even posted here: September 26th for Europe, and September 29th for North America.

Man, I can't wait to get my mits on Eden. I loved Q-Games first 2 on the PSN, and this is looking like another good one.

@Elliuotatar: Yeah shaking the bags of money seems like a flimsy excuse to tack on more waggle.

@Nekusagi: Check the trailer, the wiimote functionality is much bigger than that, and it's got a whole slew of logical functions.
And the "cool looking" Wario? This is the original Wario, Mario's rival, who gave us some of the best Game Boy platforms ever. I'm really looking forward to this comeback if the Wario Land saga.
The same kind of gameplay and puzzles, but with new forms, and with high-resolution backgrounds and sceneries that look DRAWN, not SPRITED.
This is how you do a comeback, Megaman 9 fans. =P

I'd like Wario Land if it had the actually cool looking Wario Ware Wario, not morbidly obese overalls Wario. And the coin bag shaking to get coins thing is not only illogical, it seems like a random thing they stuck on the came to add Wiimote functionality. Why SHOULD you pick up a bag of coins and be forced to shake them out just to go and collect the again? Completely absurd.

@Zaxxon Q Blaque: A ha ha, but it's not merely a coin purse... yes sir, he's shaking his BOOTY! And you know how much Wario (and the Black Sugar Pirates) love their booty.
sorry about that please don't scoop your eyes out no really

@tslothrop
Yeah really, Monsters was fun and I could easily understand the gameplay just by looking at it. Eden, even after seeing a video of it that lasted 5-10 minutes, which I stopped early because it didn't need to be longer than 30 seconds, it doesn't seem to be much of anything.

@SupaPhly: Yeah, well, it wouldn't be so bad if Wario's tongue wasn't sticking out like it is. Uh, my eyes! Zee goggles, they do nothink!
