Very pleased! Arrived sooner than expected! Worked great!

Wario Land Games for the Game Boy Advance SP - I am going to discuss three of them. Wario Land II, Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4. These are classic, wonderful, wonderful games! This particular cassette arrived in very good shape. I ordered three or 4 each from the separate, available vendors and all arrived well in time. All are excellent. I first learned of these Wario Land Games by spending many months learning, on my own, through the Wario Land 4 cartridges that I bought as people traded them in at Video Game stores. When the kids were getting older and ready for more aggressive fare, I suppose. I loved buying them and seeing how far along the original owner had - had not - gotten. I bought a bunch of them while they were still available as I realized that it would only be a matter of time before the newer and newer games and consoles would cause these to not only become unavailable, but possibly unappreciated for the wonderful things they are. Not one of these former owners ever even had a clue that in addition to the "normal" version and the "hard" version, there is a Super Hard Version. The amount of skills it takes to complete correctly the series in order to continue....are not written down anywhere that I could find. There are helps on the Internet, but these people make assumptions that all gamers talk to each other and therefore learn what they need to know that no one can perhaps figure out. They leave out a lot. I (at 75) had to figure them out for myself. My wonderful childhood was wholesome and much less fast-paced...safer for playing out of doors, for example.....having an hour to walk home, eat lunch and walk back to school...today this is unheard of. But these games are an excellent preparation for today's hurried world. The amount of coordination needed is tremendous. I have learned not only this coordination, but patience (sometimes you must do something over and over and over and over), perseverance (and over and over more times yet) to get your timing right - discipline, and creative concepts that require to think like a kid! Only then did I go back to try the Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 games. Oh, my heavens! The Wario Land 4 really seemed easy by comparison. Every technique that I had to teach myself to master in that set of games was originated in II and 3. The characters are different and the stories different but I would have been lost without doing Wario Land 4 first. It at least gave me a chance. The difference between II and 3 is that in II Wario has all his skills available. It becomes impossible, just at the very last game, at least for me. Most important is that none of these games kills off the character. You get to try and try and try until you succeed or throw the thing at a bed or a chair! Then you try some more. I don't know about it developing one's character, but all of the above disciplines do indeed get improved. And I bought two cartridges of the original and two cartridges of the later developed more up-dated cartridges of the Wario Land II.. The Wario Land II progresses logically. The Wario Land 3 is maddening. If it had not been for Penaldan (German?) I would never have EVER been able to progress anywhere! Without achieving a certain treasure within a certain territory, you can not proceed to any other territory! You do not proceed in an expected typical order, but must achieve certain things at different locations. Blaziken 257 - turns out to be the name of a previous game's fiery Pokémon character. So I am thinking that the company put out these You Tube videos. I have written down the order for the 101 Episodes. Without this "bible" there is no way to know how to proceed to succeed in the entire sequence. And I do not understand how one person could so flawlessly execute these for us as examples. I am a well-coordinated person. It took me free time as I found it (a lot!) for over two days, for example, to master the one skill to achieve what seemed impossible. And this has occurred repeatedly, for each new skill to be accomplished. The Game Boy little compacts fit in a pocket, they hold charge for hours and they are exquisite. I pocket one whenever we go anywhere "just in case" there might be a few minutes to play and then store the progress until another convenient time. In our lives we are playing in four community bands, teaching private lessons, working on our Victorian house and a few other things. We eat out a lot. Life is grand. just because these did not exist when we were kids, does not mean that we can not enjoy them. I feel sorry for the fuddy-duddies who look on at me with disgust - well...actually, just one person - who thinks that I am wasting my time! If so, it is mine to waste. If you live as long as I have, you know what car repairs cost, what food costs, where things are heading in this country and in the world. It is lovely to just stop time for a while, and play a Wario Land game where the character never dies! nancy morse

Works great An got it for a good price

My kids love this game. Good purchase.

I received my game from the VA Video Game Authority after 3 days of ordering. Their service was so wonderful, I can't recommend them enough. If you purchase any retro games, VA Video a game Authority is a wonderful place to look.
