Rumor: Wario's Woods coming to Wii Ware

by Kyle Orland { Mar 21st 2008 at 4:30PM }

Update: Wishful thinking be damned -- seems this thing it an early April Fools joke

Trivia time, kiddies. All right, what was the last Nintendo-published game to appear on the NES? Need a hint? It also might be one of the the first Wii Ware game to feature Mario characters. Still need another hint? Um ... look in the headline.

Our colleagues at Wii Fanboy got these purported photos of a Wii Ware Wario's Woods from an anonymous Japanese tipster who didn't give many details on their provenance. It's entirely possible they're an elaborate hoax, but if so they show an incredible attention to detail and a talent for capturing the aestethic shown in other Nintendo-published Wii Ware titles. We won't know for sure until an official announcement comes out of The Big N, but for the time being please indulge our wishful thinking in hoping that these screenshots do indeed represent an actual, in-development game. In the meantime ... to the Virtual Console we go!

I don't buy it. Why? Miis. I guarantee with 100% certainty that a title like this would at least use your Mii as a portrait instead of bomberman and wario.

In the year 2008 war was begging.

Captain: What happened!
Mechanic: Someone set up us the spam

Operator: We get signal

Captain: What!

Operator: Main screen turn on!

Captain:It's you!!

Matt: How are you gentleman!!

Matt: yo seriously this works, it actually does, i didn’t believe it for anything, now I got a free 40gb, if you don’t believe it just check it out and u’ll see This link will guide you through the EASY process of getting a brand new retail Playstation 3!
Here is how it works!

First and foremost this is NOT like those other offers you see all over the web, where you are required to sign up for a million "free" offers that end up taking forever and costing you a bunch of money and a headache.

You click this link and sign up for their referral program. With this program you are required to participate in only ONE of their sponsor's offers, there are numerous FREE offers so why not try if you can get something FREE…

Captain: What you say!

Matt: Once you sign up for your ONE required offer you use the link they provide you and post it on forums, or send it to friends, and if someone uses that link to sign up and complete one offer of their own, you get a referral. Here is the cost breakdown of the referral system….

Operator: Captain!

Captain: Delete Spam!

Operator:You know what you are doing

Captain : Delete Spam

Captain : For Great Justice

Edit*Captain:You know what you are doing.

I better go move Zig.

Mr.ESC @ Mar 21st 2008 5:07PM

Also I meant beginning not begging I mean Spam is a b*tch but is not that we beg for a war against spam to commence but nevertheless that won't be a bad idea.

Aero @ Mar 21st 2008 5:08PM

Erm, I don't see Bomberman or Wario in any of those screenshots.

jadenguy @ Mar 24th 2008 9:49AM

That's Clue Number 2.

Mr.ESC @ Mar 21st 2008 4:43PM

You know games like these (Wario woods, Dr Mario, Tetris etc) were fun back in the day and worth the price but nowadays it should be on 10$ via online distribution.

Grog @ Mar 21st 2008 5:34PM

You do realize that this is a Wii Ware title and will be a digitally distributed $10 title, right?

Mr.ESC @ Mar 21st 2008 5:54PM

No I thought this was going to be in retail.

This is an attitude you won't see very often but knowing that this will be distributed via online I would gladly take out my comment now knowing this.

Notice that I didn't say eat sh*t or anything like that when I was proved wrong.

KeenCommander @ Mar 21st 2008 4:46PM

No retro games here, though. If they're going to do crappy remakes, could we at least get Tetris Attack?

Velops @ Mar 21st 2008 6:30PM

There is no need to remake Tetris Attack. Planet Puzzle League on the DS is the current game in the series.

KeenCommander @ Mar 21st 2008 7:08PM

Eh, I play homebrew Tetris Attack on DS, it's better than the official one, but I'd still love to see it on the Wii.

Jhongerkong @ Mar 21st 2008 4:50PM

Warios Woods is the shite (in a good way). One of the few reasons I bought Animal Crossing.

Jerk Face @ Mar 21st 2008 5:17PM

Oh no!

My wife was so fiendishly addicted to Wario's Woods on the VC that... that.... Well, let's just say that if this comes out I am never getting laid again!

Mr Khan @ Mar 21st 2008 5:24PM

I believe Jadenguy is actually thinking of Wario Blast Featuring Bomberman

Which was also awesome

Does everything Wario touch turn to gold? He'd be pretty psyched if it did

Desert Eagle @ Mar 21st 2008 5:38PM

I heard about that game, but never had the chance to play it. As far as I recall, it appeared on the classic Game Boy, didn't it?

This one's hoping Nintendo adds GB games to the Virtual Console someday. I want to play SML2:TGC once again, because nowdays it's hard as hell to find.
