Wario Land: Shake Dimension (Wii)

Wario Land: Shake Dimension for the Nintendo Wii is the latest game in which you get to play as Mario’s arch-nemesis; Wario (bad Mario?) – he started out as a villain in ‘Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins’ and has now featured in several games as the central character as well as some with Mario, such as Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

In the latest game, you once more take on the challenge of gathering gold and treasure along the way, this time round the game is based on the Nintendo Wii and as such you can be sure it will involve a bit more physical movement on your part.

The clue is in the title – Wario Land: Shake Dimension, to perform various moves and actions in the game, you will have to move your Wii controller in a certain way, you need to “shake it”. You can take a look at this in action at the end of this post.

Once again with the Wii, Nintendo are giving a traditional platform style game a new twist in how you play, but it doesn’t stop there – just take a look at this promotional video over at YouTube to another twist in action!

I think it’s a brilliant piece of marketing and more games should try innovative methods that tie in with the game itself – it’s the main reason I’ve written this post about the game!
