The best part of the Amiibo renders is that they're canonically drawn by Wario himself. Literally everyone else gets drawn like shit, but when he draws himself...

@oliviertilanus 2 years ago

Garlic is in renaissance paintings an analogue for Overabundance and Greed. Think that's why Wario is so fond of it.

Wario is like Donkey Kong in that most people recognize him from his appearances in Mario spin-offs, rather than his actual games.

How do we make our character counterpart evil?
NINTENDO: Make it bigger
SEGA: Lets make it black

Wario isn’t a evil Mario
Mario is just a good Wario

Hearing Wario say full, FULL ASS sentences after so long of WAH, fills me with the same feelings as witnessing your child's first words and your dog suddenly being capable of articulate speech at the same time.

Wario the man vs wario the idea

@misterzygarde6431 2 years ago

I thought of an idea for a Wario Land sequel where the plot could involve Waluigi getting a job at WarioWare only for the place to blow up.

Now, Wario, Waluigi, and the rest of the WarioWare employees go on an adventure to confront the baddie to get revenge along with getting some treasure along the way as to pay for the medical bills and a new building.

You see an identity crisis, I see a complex and multifaceted guy who happens to really like garlic and money

How is WarioWare Gold Forgettable?

Is usually considered the best one

@timedragon5492 2 years ago

I think it's time to realize that any character that has been in any media consistently for 15+ years is going to have a verity of artists interpret their character in various different ways to tell whatever new story they want to tell. And therefore, many characters have an "identity crisis" save for characters that have no real personality.

The fact that Wario drew those amiibo art radiates "I'm gonna draw myself as the chad" kind of energy

Finally chop sticks 4rk land adventure.

I really do love the varied cast of the Warioware series, but yeah, he's long overdue for another platformer.

I'm at least glad he got his shoulder bash back in Ultimate.

>No mention of WarioWare D.I.Y

how could you. you heartless monster.

@verachannel7091 2 years ago

Ngl wario ware is legit my favorite nintendo franchise, with gold being my standout fave (but releasing on the 3DS post switch didnt help). Its baffling for sure and ideally i wish wario land got as much love, but the idea of wario going from random rival chsracter to having multiple headlining distinct properties of his own is so cool.

>Warioware Gold
>Forgettable
My brother in shrooms Wario was speaking full sentences constantly in that game and it was gold(heh).
Also come on don't disrespect Kevin Afghani like that. That comment at the end was wholly messed up.
