You’ve got to hand it to Nintendo – when it doesn't want anyone to know about something, its curtain of secrecy is completely opaque. There’s almost no real data on any of Nintendo’s interesting post-E3 release games, just a few big names and a few vague promises. Case in point: Kaitou Wario, the working title for a new side-scrolling Wario adventure. That’s… basically all the information on it. Hey at least this one has one screenshot.
It takes a little bit of a long memory, but Wario’s side-scrolling handheld adventures used to be something of a flagship for Game Boy, as he usurped the Super Mario Land series from the more famous plumber. His portable games, right up to Wario Land 4 on Game Boy Advance, have been uniformly great platformers; they just haven’t made them in five years. It’s the one bad thing the Wario Ware series brought with it.
