Years ago, June 23, 1996 to be exact, I had the first taste of what would become my number one game series. As a birthday present that year, l had received a yellow Game Boy Pocket, Game and Watch Gallery, and most importantly, Wario Land. Ah yes, it was a wonderful little title. I have completed it 100% twice since then. I've also played and beaten every other Wario platformer to have come out since, all but one. Wario Land 3 has eluded me over the years.

It kind of amazes me that after some 25+ years of playing hundreds of video games, a game based around a single, simple core concept can still feel so fresh to me when executed well. In the case of VVVVVV, a new 2D platformer for the 3DS eShop, that concept is to remove the ability to jump with your character (no jumping, in a platformer?) and replace it with the ability to manipulate gravity and flip your character from the bottom to the top of the screen, and vice versa. This mechanic is, essentially, what the entire game is built around. In fact, literally all that you can do in the game is move around and flip your character (barring the occasional button press to active a computer or talk to someone), so it is safe to say that the game sinks or swims based on this mechanic...
