Trivia / Virtual Boy Wario Land

  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: As with all games for the Virtual Boy, the only way to legally play the game is to seek out the original cartridge and a Virtual Boy, as Nintendo has never given it any kind of digital release. Considering how Nintendo feels about the console and their attempts to bury it, this is likely to stay that way indefinitely.
  • Killer App: The closest thing the Virtual Boy had to one.
  • Magnum Opus Dissonance: Many critics and fans tend to regard this game as being the best of the Virtual Boy titles. Nintendo, meanwhile, treats it like the rest of the Virtual Boy's lineup and it is all but stated to be Canon Discontinuity to the Wario Land series (outside of a very brief nod to its best ending in the manual of Wario Land 4).
  • What Could Have Been: Jools Watsham (co-founder of Renegade Kid) posted a mock-up of the game in color for the Nintendo 3DS. In this video, he mentions that he pitched the mock-up to Nintendo, but they didn't give a response back. While no explanation had been given, Jools speculates that it is likely due to Nintendo not wanting anything to do with the Virtual Boy.
  • Working Title: In early stages of the game's development, it was originally called both Wario's Treasure Hunt and Wario Cruise. The reason why they dropped both names in favor of the final title remains unknown.
