“We are always looking into continuing the development of our popular franchises, so my advice would be to wait and see!” – Takahiro Harada/Nobuo Matsumiya
“‘Wario Land DS’ – oh I just want to develop it! Maybe, if many of your readers’ opinions are gathered and sent to us, it might be an idea that will be realised in the not too distant future. Everyone, do you want to play ‘Wario Land DS?'” – Takahiro Harada/Nobuo Matsumiya
Wario Land on the DS could work out pretty well if you ask me. If the game were to take some of the elements that made previous titles successful, there’s no doubt that a DS game would suit Wario perfectly.
