Yep, the first info and screenshots of a new game starring Wario. It is 2D, with hand-drawn sprites.

Here's the info, leaked from a Japanese retailer:

- 20 stages
- hand-drawn animation
- 1 player
- locations such as jungle ruins, desert, and ocean
- shake the Wiimote for special actions (shake enemies to grab coins, unearth hidden locations, and more)
- some sort of throwing mechanic via Wiimote manipulation
- vehicles such as rockets and submarines, seems that the Wiimote speaker plays a part in vehicles as well

Here are the first, blurry screenshots of Wario Land Shake.

I guess this would be a good time to tell you that Captain Syrup is the main villain of the game, and it has been revealed that her first name is Maple.

Also, it has animated cutscenes.

Anyway, I am very excited for this game. The WL games are generally rated more positively than Mario platformers, and that's saying something!  :O

and even though I would have been more hyped for a Wario World 2 (one of my favorite GC games, despite being very short), and had this one on DS, I am still very excited!
