![]() It would be fair to say that Pizza Tower plays much closer to a 2D Sonic game (or Spark the Electric Jester, if you will). The gameplay is also quite more focused on speed and score attack, rather than simply going from start to end in each other level. ![]() Be ready to be served with a smorgasbord of tasty and savory animations, plus a collection of incredibly funny details on each screen. For one, the style is way more geared towards classic 90s animation like Ren & Stimpy, rather than the average Nintendo game. So yes, Peppino is pretty much a spicy version of Wario and Pizza Tower’s gameplay very much harkens back to that classic series.īut it wouldn’t be exactly fair to call Pizza Tower a mere Wario Land clone. Leave it to Peppino to go all “arrabbiata” on us, swallow that spicy salami and break everything in his path to take down the evil tower. ![]() While working on pizza and pasta in his restaurant, he finds out that his quiet existence is about to be cut short by the nearby pizza tower: a place of evil, cheap Italian food not made like nonna used to. Pizza Tower is a 2D indie platformer starring deranged and perpetually agitated Italian chef Peppino Spaghetti. So who could pick up the slack? Apparently Pizza Tower had to step in. ![]() For better or worse, the series has been lying dormant since the Wii’s Shake It (or Shake Dimension), which was 15 years ago. Since that original title, many developers have tried their hands with the greedy garlic eater with varying results (does anyone remember the Virtual Boy title?). The 2D Wario Land series, originating as a spin-off of the Game Boy’s own Super Mario Land, would be the first game starring Wario in a playable main role. Still, there is one more that is much closer to my heart, and that’s Wario Land, is the series back from the dead? Nope, but we got the next best thing: an indie developer coming in to pick up the slack with Pizza Tower. And that is just scraping the top of the Ninty-iceberg. ![]() Ok, perhaps not many people would call it a great big treasure, but can we just mention some of the characters and series they could resurrect at any moment and have, instead, chosen to ignore: Kid Icarus, F-Zero, Golden Sun, Starfy, Chibi Robo (yes I’m willing to die on that hill). Like a dragon from a fairy tale, Nintendo is sleeping on a pile of gold. ![]()
