What was your favourite game of 2008? Was it Mario Kart Wii? Smash Bros Brawl? Perhaps GTA IV?

Buried among those classics was the little-played Wario Land: Shake It! which brought back the treasure-hunting, garlic-chomping version of everyone's favourite antihero coupled with new motion controls, an incredible hand-drawn art style and even fan-favourite Captain Syrup. Seems like a slam dunk - so why is it that this platforming classic doesn't seem to be as fondly remembered as everything else on the best selling console of the era?

And joining me today is Russ Moran from the Kaiju ComicCast, who loves a villain because he would never dream of being one. You can check out KaijuComicCast on all you podcasting apps and give them a follow on Instagram and Bluesky! I've even guested on a few eps including a recent deep dive on my book Go-Man!
