Looking forward to the US release of 'Made In Wario', aka 'Wario Ware Inc.', for the Gameboy Advance, since it caters perfectly for my blipvert-length attention span - a series of 5-second-long minigames play in quick succession. Oh, and the already-posted FAQ has some interesting 'evil twin' trivia about Waluigi, the recently-invented 'evil Luigi' nemesis-type character. They claim that, whilst Wario is 'evil Mario' because an upside-down M is a W, Waluigi should really be called Waruigi, 'cos an upside-down L looks like an 'r', and the Japanese have a lot of problems differentiating between their Ls and Rs at the best of times. Hmm.. actually, I wasn't convinced, but then I looked closely at Waluigi's cap logo and also found a Nintendorks posting (scroll down) saying: 'Warui (Pronounced Wah-Roo-Eee) means Dark or Evil. Mario, flip the M to get Wario, which is a lot like Warui. For Luigi, it's WaLuigi. In Japanese ALL Ls and Rs are pronounced virtually the same.' Aha, so they ARE right. Of course, Waluigi isn't _IN_ the new Wario game. But that doesn't stop the FAQ-makers and now me getting all het up about it :)
