Wario Land: The Shake Dimension, known as Wario Land: Shake It! in North America and as Wario Land Shake in Japan, is a video game for the Wii video game console. It is the sixth game to be released in the Wario Land series. It is also the first home console Wario Land game and the first new Wario Land game in nearly 7 years, the last one being Wario Land 4, which was released in 2001. By the same token, it was the first appearance of Wario antagonist Captain Syrup since Wario Land II. The game was developed by the Japanese company Good-Feel, headed by Shigeharu Umezaki, the former CEO of... Konami's now-defunct Kobe branch. It includes an animated opening and ending, created by anime studio Production I.G. This is the first game in the series to feature hand-drawn graphics rather than pixelated sprites. Wario Land: The Shake Dimension follows the graphical style of earlier Wario Land games on the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Virtual Boy, and Game Boy Advance. The player holds the Wii Remote sideways and shakes it to attack enemies and perform special moves.
