How is it possible? I haven't played this game for 17 years and I didn't hear anything talking about it in 17 years. I started playing it agen 2 days ago and now this?
This game is Pizza Tower’s grandpa!
Surprised you didnt mention the puzzle rooms with the old guy, and the soundtrack is legendary. Wario land 4 is a masterpiece.
My favorite game on GBA
2:12 I always thought they just flipped the m.
And finally…
In 2023, two Wariolikes. One completed and the other advancing in a steady pace. Are giving this game a new place in history
My first game console all my own, and my first owned video game. Many memories of riding in the back of the car trying to play with the street lights
Pizza Tower and Anton Blast have brought about a garlic flavored renaissance
I prefer Wario Land 3
I own this game but can barely remember it. I recall I really wanted something new that was something close to Mario. The newest Mario game at the time was 5 years old, and the newest 2D Mario game at the time was even older (especially if you don't count YI). I saw this had good reviews and figured it was the closest I was going to get. I'm pretty sure I just ripped through it in a week or so and then never thought about it much after that.
I probably need to revisit it now and appreciate it for what it is.
And now, everyone knows WL 4 because of pizza tower, and antonblast!
Late to the channel, loving the content!
Am I detecting a bit of a Kansai dialect from the Japanese voice of Wario?
Me personally I prefer Wario Land Shake It so much more
ITS PIZZA TIME
Thanks for an amazing video about Wario Land 4! Really hoping Nintendo will do more Wario Land games in the future! Thirty years since the first Wario Land game in 2024.
One charming thing about shoulder bash: You could always duck and slide forward a lil bit, atleast with wl2 3 and 4. It's always been there for you :).
All I've learned from this video is that Samus and Wario should go on epic adventures together for sweet loot.
This game is actually the very first gba game I ever played. Because of that it's been pretty high up on the list of my favorite games. I've been replaying it for the first time since I was a kid in the last year or so. I thought,
"We're an adult now, let's play on hard mode." What a fool I was.
