Phew, that's a good news about the microgames.
This game looks more interesting everytime new info is released!

Why would you do that? · Mar 14, 2013

^ ^ I hate your avatars. I thought it was one guy replying to himself. lol

I'm still a little "eh" on this game, but I know I'll have to try it one day. They're almost my favorite developer at Nintendo.

That's nice, but we still don't know how many microgames there are or what percentage of them are new.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Mar 14, 2013

I would like to see more from that platforming looking game, if that fits with these criteria.

radioheadrule83 · Mar 14, 2013

I imagine that island / fronk (?) thing will be simple but very fun in multiplayer.

I hope this has a minigame as fun as Bungee Buddies!

Not sure about the amount, but from the video, a few seemed familiar or at least based on older games. Does anyone recognize all or most of them?

EDIT: Also, items seem to be in and have a micro game attached to each.

farnham · Mar 14, 2013

They could emulate the original, twisted, touch, smooth moves and snapped. Sounds good

Subaru · Mar 14, 2013

Yeah, micro-games! I think they could put a complete Wario Ware game inside.

BGBW · Mar 14, 2013

Rhythm Tengoku cameo!

I love the Wario Ware games so I'm definitely getting this. Hopefully the single player content is substantial. However the simple onlooker aspect to the multiplayer may make this the game to get my parents into them.

MarkusRJR · Mar 14, 2013

I just want a traditional WarioWare game, not this.

18-Volt · Mar 14, 2013

Dr. Crygor, Jimmy T and Spitz are in! I hope 18-Volt will appear in the game somehow. I can't imagine a WarioWare game without playing some Nintendo classics.

I love Fronks, for some reason.
Also, the description for the Taxi mode is amazing.

Yonafunu · Mar 14, 2013

That jumping game looks exactly like Okami, art-wise.

Updated the OP a bit.

Of course. I love your channel.

Any sentence that contains 'Shoot the UFOs with a bazooka' is amazing.

IS/SPD should use the art style in a full game. (About the 10th time I've said this).

Hey, no need to be defensive, I only *just* started watching Spongebob and I love it.

Anyway, what would be the minimum amount of Microgames required for people to be happy? 200?

The thing about microgames is that they're so short and simple that having a large volume of microgames really does matter. That being said, depth of interactivity is also important--WarioWare D.I.Y. comes with ~100 microgames and allows you to make/download lots more, but because you're limited to tapping things and because the scripting language is so basic they all kinda blur into each other after a while.

Anyway, assuming the microgames are 100% original (which doesn't seem to be the case) and that they use all the different features of the Gamepad, I'd say it'd need 100 microgames as an absolute minimum in order to feel like a proper WarioWare game and not just a little side-event to the minigames.

If they're just recycling microgames from previous installments then I'd like to think they'd add way more.

EDIT: just to be clear, it doesn't really bother me if this game is a "real" WarioWare game or not, I just don't want people to think there's a traditional WarioWare game buried in there somewhere if there's not.

Interesting. They haven't mentioned the number at all yet, but I would hope for at least a hundred, even if it's just to give the Gamer game enough replay value. Are the games 'unoriginal' in that they look exactly the same, or that they seem based on previous ones? I've really only played the DS one, so I dunno.

What about the item micro-games from the latest trailer that use two screens? Ticking the sleeping guys foot, and throwing eraser shavings to make someone's 'hair'.

Just to be clear, it seems the 'Gamer' microgames only use the game-pad, and not the two screens interacting, while the item's games use both.

EDIT: If they don't announce it by launch, someone with the game will surely figure how many there are ASAP.

Be sure to stick to the first 3 seasons, everything after is pretty bad

And hell yeah microgames. Now I know this will definitely be in my WiiU collection... eventually

Madao · Mar 15, 2013

this is the first game i'm gonna buy since the Wii U launch and it still has no date.

hurry up you NoA slackers!

UncleSporky · Mar 15, 2013

All I want to know is, can we add our own words to the apparent Pictionary mode.

Because Pictionary with the pad is an amazing idea, but I don't have faith that Nintendo will give us more than a list of 100 words featuring animals and vegetables and sports.

Heh, I love Wario Ware games, will definitely pick this up when I grab a Wii U.

Spieler Eins · Mar 15, 2013

But how many micro games is it gonna have?
Still feels like a purchase at 20 bucks at best, even if it looks quite fun. Nintendoland as pack-in just made this too redundant.

Spieler Eins said:

What are you judging the $20 thing on?

For me, I'll probably get 10~15 hours out of this game, at least, between now and Pikmin 3. That's worth $50 to me.

i am just uploading the BEST Minigame EVER....seriously....the BEST. All out childhood is in there XD

BatDan · Mar 28, 2013

Have to admit, this is looking pretty good. It will be WarioWare in the states correct?

I just wish Nintendo would make another Wario platformer. It's been a while since we had one.

Tilmen · Mar 28, 2013

Here is another video i just uploaded....of course with both screens in it. THIS is the BEST MINIGAME Ever made....it shows my entirely freaky childhood XD
