Crappy Look At Potentially Cool Wario Land Shake
6:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Take a gander at the recently announced Wario Land Shake, which, crap scan aside, looks pretty great. The game will apparently have hand-drawn character animation, sport 20 stages and mix-and-mash straight up D-pad and buttion pressing with Wii-mote shaking. Squint at the above scan to see what kind of shake-action the game has. Haven’t had enough upcoming Nintendo game scan stuff?

5:00PM Brian Ashcraft | According to Japanese Nintendo-centric blog Rambling Man, the company’s upcoming release schedule looks something like this: July 10 DS Densetsu no Starfi Taiketsu! ¥4,800 July 24 Wii Wario Land Shake ¥5,800 July 31 Wii Rei Gesshoku no Kamen ¥6,800 July 31 DS Rhythm Tengoku Gold ¥3,800 August 7 DS Fire Emblem DS ¥4,800 August 22 DS Inazuma Eleven ¥4,800 Details on the site are scant, but the titles are definitely something to get excited about. But remember kids, just because something appears on a Japanese blog, doesn’t mean it’s real. Just means, it’s in Japanese!

Brawl cast can change the color of their costumes or change accessories, Wario gets his very own change of clothes, presumably once he blows a hole in his other pants. Along with the Blue Oyster Wario we’ve seen since the very first trailers ran, classic Wario will make an appearance, wearing his traditional suspenders and cap combo in a variety of different colors and (gag) flavors. The promised daily weekday updates continue at the Smash Bros. Dojo! Join us later this week to see if Masahiro Sakurai finally breaks down and just posts a picture of his name scribbled over and over again on a diner napkin. Overalls Wario [Smash Bros. DOJO!] More »
