"Nintendo has been slowly drip-feeding us games since the console joined its Nintendo Classics offering when the launched in June, and we just got another one. Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers can now play Wario's one and only 3D platformer on the service. Wario World launched in 2003 and was developed by Treasure ( Gunstar Heroes, Ikaruga). You play as Wario, the flatulent antithesis of Nintendo's primary mascot, in what is a combat-heavy platformer."
"Wario's castle has been overthrown by an evil piece of sentient jewellery called Black Jewel, and it's up to the garlic-loving antihero to punch and piledrive everything in sight in order to reclaim it. Wario World was a relative commercial hit for Nintendo, but while many reviewers praised its chaotic gameplay, the game's short length pulled the scores down. Interestingly, the same criticism was leveled at the similarly brief Luigi's Mansion, which the Nintendo Classics app just ahead of Halloween."
Wario World from 2003 is now available to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers as the service's latest GameCube addition. The game was developed by Treasure and features Wario in a combat-focused 3D platformer in which his castle is seized by a sentient Black Jewel and Wario must fight to reclaim it. The title was a modest commercial success but drew criticism for its short length despite praised chaotic gameplay. Wario World becomes the seventh GameCube game on the service, with Super Mario Sunshine and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance slated for future inclusion. Rayman 2 and Tonic Trouble are scheduled for the N64 emulator on December 17.
