It was one of the first Nintendo games released on the GBA along with games like Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Advance Wars, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

Wario Land: Shake It!
Wario Land: Shake It! (JP) (known as Wario Land: The Shake Dimension in European regions and Australia) is a Wii video game released in mid-2008. It's a classic revisiting of the Wario video games of old, instead of being a new installment in the ever popular WarioWare series. The side-scrolling adventure will take Wario in the new world of the Shake Dimension, and will require him to take on new enemies and use new abilities that'll require the player to, as the American name suggests, shake the Wii Remote in a variety of ways and sometimes twist it as well, depending on what task you have to perform. It is the first Wario Land game since Wario Land 4 and the first Wario Land game to be released on a home console instead of a handheld system.
