>Motokura: Development began when Koizumi-san (5) approached our team and said, “With an eye to expanding the Donkey Kong franchise further, I'd like the team that's been working on 3D Mario games to create a 3D Donkey Kong game.”
pray that Koizumi approaches a team and says "MAKE WARIO GREAT AGAIN". wario's mechanics already lend themselves perfectly to an Odyssey style game too
>every enemy inflicts a transformation; wario can pick up every enemy; both are needed to solve puzzles
>break and smash everything to maximize the coins you can collect, but think before you act so you don't miss a dime
>get to the end to find treasure, then get back to the start to escape with your loot
if they have to redefine wario a bit, then fucking do it (and they might have to, given DK's nudging a bit into 'his' territory). he can be every kind of crook and criminal; a wild west bandit, an embezzling ceo, a pirate among pirates. he can be an obese lupin the third, improvising by the seat of his overalls to get in and get out with as much as possible.
