Nintendo Media | Smash Update: Wario Profile

By Jorge Ba-oh 20.06.2007 13

A somewhat smelly update joins the Smash Bros. Dojo today as Nintendo have revealed some details on one of its favourite villains, Wario.

Many fans clamored for Wario to join the fray, and so now he finally makes his appearance...in his WarioWare costume.

It's rumored that this unpredictable character will give birth to a form of martial arts that other characters cannot even see.

Wario is not a villain! He's the coolest anti hero of all time! Smilie

He's gonna eat kirby! Smilie

That character model looks great, as do all. These icons have never looked better.

If his fart's cannot be heard from the Wii Remotes speaker there will be a outcry among most fans including me. [LS]

That second pic looks like he has had a mid air accident while performing his special move.

When exactly was the last time Wario was a villain? Super Mario Land 2? In fact... Has he ever been a villain in ANY other game?

I kinda like Wario's unpredictable style in this, one of the first new characters I plan on playing as, looks like fun to be Wario.

Proud United State-ian

He's not dead, he's electroencephalographically challenged.

Ever since Super Mario Land 2, Wario was mostly a neutral character He only thought of his benefits.

I hope they put his yellow and purple overalls as an alternative costume. They HAVE too.Smilie

Also, I wonder what they are going to do in E3. They're probably going to show another big trailer, and show another Veteran character. Hopefully a Newcomer. Crossing my fingers for Crono.Smilie

The name "Wario" is Mario's name blended with the Japanese adjective warui (悪いSmilie meaning "bad" - a "bad Mario"...

*cough*

I guess he's more like an anti-hero or neutral character as you say but Nintendo had intended him to be a "bad Mario", not as evil as Bowser say, but still a shady fella, I guess now a more comical version of Mario.

Umm... I could recall the Mario Power Tennis Intro, his team up with Waluigi ended bad after the big collision/explosion with Bowser in their match with Mario and Luigi Smilie

Maybe a shady fella but still my worst choice for a player Smilie. It could be cool to check his moves (also the new Wario model looks gorgeus) but no more. Him as one of my favorite characters is off-limits...

For the E3, I think they will do a massive video with some newcomers and veterans. I still have the hope for Crono in this game, would rock! Smilie

Really? Damn... That means that Waluigi's name isn't quite as afwul as I thought... He still needs to die a horrifically slow and painful death though...

I also concur about him having his original costume... I much prefer it to his Wario Ware one

erm,, wario is a rip-off of the Crazy Frog!!!

google: Crazy Frog,, and then look at Wario!! complete rip-off!!! shame on nintendo for being un-original!

Er.....wario was created ages before crazy frog...and why revive a 4 month old thread....

and why did you make a new account just to say that?

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992)

& in 1997...

'k, now that I've proven the offender wrong...

Locked.
