A section in the magazine revealed the first story and production details for the upcoming Wii game.
Within an Ancient Globe (an old, giant globe exhibited at a museum), there is another world called Yuretopia (translator: "yure" = tremor/shaking). Yuretopia's peace is shattered by the marauding pirate Shay King (translator: whatever). Queen Melfull and her Melfull subjects are imprisoned. Not only that, Shay King claims the legendary treasure "Deldel Purse," which spits out coins whenever it is shaken. Captain Maple Syrup, the female pirate, observes Yuretopia's crisis from the outside world. Setting her eyes on the legendary treasure but with no desire of doing the dirty work herself, she steals the Ancient Globe and sends it to Wario. True to form, Wario prepares to raid the beleaguered kingdom when Queen Melfull escapes to the outside world in hopes of finding help. Beseeched by the Queen to become a hero to the kingdom, Wario sets off to Yuretopia where the promise of vast treasures beckons...

Syrup is back!I want Mr. G&W to be in there somewhere though. It's nice he was revived in the Wario series somewhat.

It'll be a hit in Japan no matter what, I reckon. WarioWare: Smooth Moves showed how popular Wario still is over there, selling nearly 600,000 copies so far, and Super Paper Mario showed Wii owners there are also happy to pick up a home console 2D game (think that's sold around 500,000 units).

Good news that captain syrup is finally back. It's some sort of "lost" Nintendo Character which i had thought at the time of Wario Land 2 would become the definite Wario enemy, like Mario and Bowser, and which mysteriously disappeared from the scene.
The Game itself doesn't look half bad either. I wonder though what the cut-scenes are gonna look like in motion.

OMG! 
The return of Cpt. Maple Syrup! This game is sounding more and more awesome. 
Each little peice of info that gets released really wets my appetite. lol And it doesn't hurt that the game is looking quite gorgeous. 
Now, where's Waluigi?
I hope the big N doesn't skimp on him for yet another Wario Land/World adventure. *sigh*
Yeah, I agree. In addition to Syrup, I really feel Ninty should bring back classic Mario universe badguys like Wart and Tatanga. Classic minor characters like Tweeter, Snifit, Ninji, etc. should also be re-introduced, imo. You gotta love the classics. lol
I want Wart back! A team up with Bowser would be awesome. *Unreal Tournament announcer's voice* Godlike!

Waluigi isn't a Wario character, he's a Mario Party character. Much like Birdo. That's how I see it.
Any Wario game with Waluigi in it is a tragic failure in my eyes. I sure hope he doesn't even get a cameo in this.
EDIT: Dude... they have to make a Wario anime... I'm loving this game already! Can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait!( Edited 12.06.2008 18:22 by SuperLink )

Seriously though, I'm sorry you feel that way. Personally, I love Waluigi and don't have any qualms seeing him as an equal co-star to Wario like Luigi is to Mario. If done right, it could be awesome. Easily.
So yeah, Golden Sun 3.

Waluigi is a worse fanboy recolour than Shadow The Hedgehog.

No he's not! Shadow is supposed to be taken seriously while Waluigi is there for comic relief. We don't want a total rehash of all the old characters, use the newer ones better, bring on Waluigi!

Nintendo 2-D Platformers are usually very good. Hope this one is no exception.
