From the stories you've told on Gameroni and the stories you tell in your reviews, you have a similar history in gaming as I do, Jason. By the way, that's probably my favorite part of your reviews, that you tend to launch into some kind of history, a chunk of it usually personal, to set the stage for the emotions you brought to the game you are reviewing. That's always fun to read.

Thanks for the feedback, Zipp! I don't feel like I did a lot of the writing you reference in this particular review, but I guess it's a case of the similar stuff I've done in older reviews helping you feel confident in the current one. I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm one of the biggest Nintendo fans I know, so I'd like to think that gives me something worthwhile to say when I cover Wii stuff!

Yeah, you're right, there wasn't too much history in this review but I was jolted into the past by this line: "Wario is a cool anti-hero, easy to love precisely because he’s such a greedy rascal." He hasn't really been an anti-hero in a long time, simply because he's only been featured in nose-picking, farting, mini-games for the wii in the last few years, so I guess I felt a connection there with someone who remembered his REAL anti hero days.
