Is Sabrewulf on GBA a Wario-like?
>>
It's a KI spinoff
>>
Are Wario-likes Mario-like?
>>
>>12388906
They’re all Pac-Land-vanias
>>
>>12388906
They are Wario Ware alternatives
>>
>>12388885
Actually the original Sabrewulf game pre-dates Killer Instinct
KI Sabrewulf and Sabreman Sabrewulf are nothing alike
Sabreman Sabrewulf isn't even a werewolf
>>
>>12388906
They're like Wario Land which isn't like 2D Mario

I thought KI Sabrewulf was supposed to be a homage to the wolf enemy in Sabrewulf the game.
Also Riptor is a reference to K. Rool/kremlins

yeah, and the GBA game is a mascot parody of the KI Sabrewulf rather than the original character.

I liked the almost realized "extended rareverse" they were building on the GBA during those years

Jurassic Park actually

That as well, but pay attention to Riptor's design: the bracelets
>>

Really?
The game's intro treats it like Sabrewulf itself had return and Sabreman himself remembers it
>>
>>12390901
I honestly love the backstory for this game
>Originally a Donkey Kong themed puzzle game
>Microsoft buy-out happens
>Consider making it Banjo-Kazooie themed
>Fuck it, why not just use our janky website mascot
>THQ wants to publish Rare's GBA Banjo-Kazooie games but has zero interest in Sabrewulf and It's Mr. Pants
>Rare's make it an ultimatum where THQ HAS to publish Sabrewulf and It's Mr. Pants if they want publishing deals for Banjo-Pilot and Grunty's Revenge
>THQ begrudgingly accepts but pours in next to zero marketing for the non-Banjo games
Worth it

yeah, I should've been more specific, I meant the visual design in the GBA game was based on the KI character.
