Metroid Fusion contains assets from Wario Land 4 in its code, suggesting the possibility that both games share the same engine or even that Metroid Fusion was built directly on top of it. the base of Wario Land 4. Today we bring you details about this case.
Although it is widely believed that both share an engine, neither game has been decompiled, making it impossible to say with certainty. The discovery is presented as evidence rather than conclusive proof of the connection.
Additionally, a statement from the Metroid Fusion program director has been found, Katsuya Yamano, in a 2003 interview, where he mentions that the team “relied on” Wario Land 4 during the creation of Metroid Fusion. Although vaguely, it could indicate a possible relationship in the shared engine.
