I realllly wanted to like Wario Land II. I was fine with the first one and Wario Land: Shake It is one of my favorite games of all time. The problem is that this one is just so...tedious. Maybe Wario Land is supposed to be extremely aggravating and I happened to play the oddball of the series first. Fully willing to admit that I was constantly getting hit and never getting used to the way Wario moved, so I can say that part of my frustration came from just not playing the game well. But even when accounting for that, some of the levels (especially the later ones) just got boring to play after the amount of times I had to redo sections to either look for treasure or just simply complete them. The branching path system displayed at the end of the game definitely was a surprise, I didn't expect a Gameboy game to have such a vast amount of content, but with the previously mentioned flaws, I didn't feel any incentive to go back and look for the rest of the unlockables and levels. Am I bad at this game? Yeah, probably. Is that likely hindering me from enjoying the game to its fullest? Definitely. Is it still pretty dated and flawed? I would say so, yeah.
