"Wario Land: Shake It!" is a much-needed return to the classic Wario formula that made the character famous. After a glut of recent "WarioWare" games that distilled the modern obsession with 'minigames' down to concentrated 'microgames' that last a few seconds and an uninspired showing in both "Wario Land 4" and "Wario: Master of Disguise," I had lost hope that Nintendo would ever make another Wario game with the same appeal as "Wario Land 2-3" and "Wario World." Of course, Nintendo still hasn't, as "Wario Land: Shake It!" was farmed-out to an unknown company called Good-Feel. They certainly lived up to their name, because playing "Wario Land: Shake It!" made me feel good.
