Purposefully old-fashioned and frequently frustrating, but despite being a 15-year-old retro themed Wii game this remaster still holds up surprisingly well.
Two indie Wario Land homages in as many years is a strange but very welcome coincidence, as this is almost as good as Pizza Tower – while still being very much its own game.
