10th July 2008 Get ready for a wave of nostalgia as Wario heads to Wii for his first dedicated adventure on the console! Prepare yourself for some classic Wario action as Wario Land: The Shake Dimension takes you on an epic and lush 2D platform adventure to seek out treasure, complete missions and, in a traditional Wario way, obtain as much money as you can! Prepare to defeat all the bandana-wearing pirates standing between you and your potential haul as this puzzle-filled adventure hits European shores on the 26th September 2008.

Sporting a unique, hand-drawn animation style, Wario Land: The Shake Dimension takes players on a swash-buckling adventure in search of the ultimate treasure. The notorious pirate leader Shake King has kidnapped Queen Merelda, and it’s up to Wario to get her back. But is he really out to do a good deed? Or it is the ‘Bottomless Coin Sack’, a sack containing a never-ending flow of gold coins, that has really caught Wario’s attention?

Featuring five different maps full of action-packed stages to complete, Wario Land: The Shake Dimension is packed with exciting challenges. At the beginning of each stage, players are given missions, such as finishing a stage within a specified time limit or collecting a special number of coins. Each stage also contains hidden treasure chests that contain the rarest of rare items.

Players will hold the Wii Remote sideways in the retro, NES style, and Wario’s special moves are activated via the Wii Remote’s motion-sensing capabilities. Shaking the controller whilst on solid ground will make Wario unleash his ‘Ground Punch’ that stuns all enemies on the screen. This move can also be used to manipulate surroundings and grant Wario access to new areas in the game. Whilst holding an enemy or money bag, shaking the Wii Remote will make them spill their precious contents, whereas tilting the controller lets players steer various vehicles that Wario commandeers.

During the adventure, be sure to visit the Pirate Shop to spend those hard-earned coins. Make regular trips to purchase exciting items, new maps and videos.
