The original source of this image is unknown, but Jeux-France seems to have found a tiny rendition of Wario Land Shake's (potential) Japanese boxart. It's small and blurry, but it's clear enough to see that, as they have in the game, Nintendo put aside their usual 3D renders of the Mario series cast. While the game relies on cel-shading, this looks like it could be original, hand-drawn art. We'll get a better look at it soon enough.We may also get a good look at some English-language boxart soon, according to the new OFLC rating for "Wario Land: The Shake Dimension." We expected to hear about a localization eventually, but not so soon! Of course, it could still be forever before the game really comes out.

FINALLY. Near perfection here, yo. I've been dying for a nice 2D/sidescrolling focused game. I've also been really, really anxious for another Wario themed installment. This is just bigtime awesome news.
Is it still too early to declare that this definitely WON'T be a WiiWare title?? Hah, I mean since this is possible boxart, the insinuation that it's going to be a CD release is strong, right?

I think it'll be wiiware. At least one of those images is from the first magazine scan (the one where he's shaking the shit out of some guy).

The jury is still out. The size of the game (20 levels) and the fact that it's 2D make it seem like a WiiWare game, but If those levels are all the size and graphical acuity (they are hand-drawn, apparently) of Super Paper Mario, then it could be a disc release
Either way, i'm psyched about it

No, it's a disc. Either that or it's a 5,800 yen WiiWare game.
