While Mario might be Nintendo’s most popular and recognizable character, fans of Nintendo are probably familiar with Mario’s “evil” twin, Wario, in which several games based on Wario have been created in the past for Nintendo’s various console releases. However could a new Wario title for the Nintendo Switch be in the works?
It seems that there is a chance that could be the case, according to a recent trademark filing made in Japan where Nintendo filed for “Wario Land”. While Nintendo might simply be trying to protect its intellectual property, what makes this trademark filing particularly compelling is the fact that this is just one of several trademark filings that Nintendo has made recently, where the other filings are for titles that have already been confirmed.
This includes titles such as Dillon’s Dead-Heat Breakers, Luigi’s Mansion, Mario & Luigi, Metroid, Metroid Prime, and Smash Bros., so like we said, with some of these titles having been confirmed, perhaps Wario Land could also be in the works and due for an announcement in the near future, possibly at E3 2018.
Not much is known about the game, but it is possible that it could be similar to previously released Wario titles, unless Nintendo plans on going the Mario Odyssey route with Wario which should result in a rather interesting game.
