I guess here's a video showing what some of the stuff that potentially can be made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egFhW2emz4s
All Nintendo-themed stuff, so maybe they were made by Nintendo devs and packaged into the WiiWare title? I don't know so maybe Japan-Gaf or someone else can clarify. Impressive nevertheless, especially the complexity in some of the microgames.

Yeah, those are some of the ~70 Nintendo-made microgames that come with DIY Showcase on WiiWare. The DS cart has ~90 of its own as well, so I'd say these have some content even for those who like playing the WarioWare games but aren't as interested in making them. (though $35 would be a bit steep for half the number of games that were in the original GBA title. But you can download more.)rpmurphy said:
But in Iwata Asks they said the games included with it were created using the game's editors, so they're still a good show of what's possible.
I hate that IGN and several other database entries always overlook Nintendo (in this case Nintendo SPD Group No. 1) as a developer when a "co-developed" signature appears on the title. Sometimes it's not even a co-developer but a license or music producer.
Like people who list TNX or JP Room as the developers of Nintendo SPD's Rhythm Heaven / Tengoku. TNX and JP Room are MUSIC RECORDING STUDIOS you idiots. Check your facts damnit.
End of rant.

Apart from making games and music and sharing them and downloading new ones...Teetris said:DIY eh, apart from the yourself bullshit is it comparable to touched? 90 games seems to be a good amount, just hope it's as good. Spent more than a 100 hours on touched!Kinda surprised it took this long to make a new one
The game is comparable to the first Wario stage in Touched!... in that you can only play games with tapping the stylus. It doesn't mean the games are bad (I mean, think about all of the 1-button games in Warioware original and even some in Twisted), but this doesn't seem like the game you'd get if you're simply looking for new Warioware with new minigames utilizing a new control method. This is the kind of game you'd get based on other merits.
While I'm freakishly excited for this game, I do wish that they'd go back to doing "regular" Warioware at some point. (Thinking about it... The next DS, with likely motion control and 3D, will likely have the next Warioware! Am excited, especially since Twisted is my favorite.)
Yes. Yes, he is.OliveJuice said:

I'll probably be getting this game once the 3DS comes out, since I'm not going to buy a DSi after that announcement.
Shame nobody will care about this game by that point.

I don't think you need a DSi for this, just a DS.

That's neat. Unfortunately, you only win entry to Nintendo's E3 press conference, and not the whole expo, but seeing Nintendo's E3 press conference (especially with the stuff promised to be shown at E3 and other stuff on the horizon) is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.BooJoh said:
So damn excited about this game Can't wait to redo/finish the microgame that I made on my roomate's Japanese copy :lol Oh & downloading games made by top-profile game developers? So awesome
edit: I just realized something, the scifi character (that I've had in the back of my mind since I was about 12) can finally be used Fuck yeah!

Fuck yeah!Picked it up because I was pleasantly surprised to find it at Wal-Mart in Canada for $35.
They had quite a few DSiXL units and had already sold one at 8:30 AM.
Going to get the WiiWare version too, I think. I'll probably have more fun downloading others' creations than making my own, but I'm really interested in checking out the editor.

I think Best Buy also has a "Buy a DSi XL, get Warioware or America's Test Kitchen 1/2 price" deal, too, so if you are gettign an XL... An option.

this game is so good. oh man.
Picking this up a little bit later. Got a pretty amazing idea for some microgames. Watched the instruction videos so much that I've got all of them planned out. Going to make 10 microgames & they'll all be related to each other. I should be able to finish the first and the second ones by tonight That's all you guys will get out of me For now :lol

I picked up my DSi XL today at GamesStop and I'm getting my copy of WarioWare tomorrow from FedEx. Why didn't I realize earlier that Nintendo releases games on Sundays!
That's the idea, yeah. The Nintendo-made games that come with each (90 on DS, 72 on WiiWare) are different, but you can send your own microgames between the two, and I believe you can download the weekly microgames or your friends' games onto either version as well.Deku said:
Since the games can only use the stylus, it translates pretty smoothly to the Wii pointer.

From the OP:
"Aside from the user-generated microgames, WarioWare D.I.Y. includes over 90 pre-made microgames featuring the characters Mona, Jimmy T., Ashley, Orbulon, and 9-Volt. WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase includes 72 different pre-made microgames featuring Wario-Man, Dribble & Spitz, Kat & Ana, and 18-Volt. Each character has microgames set to certain themes, similar to WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!."
As much as I am looking forward to making my own games I'm glad that Nintendo is including some pre-made games as well. WarioWare games tend to have a great sense of humor

Wow, I didn't realize how many microgames the other versions of WarioWare included. Since the Wii and DS versions have different games we are getting 162 new microgames between the 2 systems.

Just got back. I'm pouring a couple hours into HG first, after which I will probably go and make Pokemon themed microgames.
...man, I am Nintendo's little bitch, and I don't even care
...man, I am Nintendo's little bitch, and I don't even care
Just picked it up! Only tried the first set of premade games, but I can't wait to actually get into it and start making stuff. Saw the DSi XL and it looked great, can't afford to upgrade my DSi right now though. Just a heads up, if anyone wants a thicker stylus, I recommend this pack (DSi Screen Protectors with Pen stylus). The regular stylus cramps my hand, this pen one might be better for those long game making sessions
Dammit :lol So, I'm creating the first part of my 12-part microgame. It starts with you piloting a space ship & trying to avoid asteroids. I've got the win condition set up & some explosion artwork if you hit an asteroid. Is it possible to make it so that you'll lose the game when you hit an asteroid, even if you are on your way to the edge of the screen (the winning point) ? I hope that makes some sense :lol
edit: Got it working now :lol I had the ship's switch turning on at the wrong point :lol

how much is the WiiWare version coming out tmr?
is it a totally separate game?
800 points iirc. Just finished my first microgame. It's on to part 2 of my much larger microgame (think episodic gaming :lol )

A question for the people who have it.
Can you make boss microgames? Are you always conditioned to a microgame of seconds or you can do a normal Wario Ware boss without time limit?

ONly 8 and 16 second minigames
unless its a unlockable feature.I've already made two microgames. Where is everyone? Lets start sharing! Looks like this game is not getting many posts which is sad. My favorite WarioWare game for the editor alone.
Fc again is 2321-8540-1580 if anyone wants to check out my games and i will check out yours! Shame you can only upload two games at a time, will leave the games I got up for about a week before switching them. In the meantime I will make some records and comics so look for them in a couple days.
My games that you can now buy from WRV Software is;
Dodgin Bills
A Mario game where you dodge bullet billa by jumping and moving right. It took forever to get it to work.
Minigore
My 2nd game based off the iPhone and iPod Touch game Minigore. Shoot the Furries!! I drew the character and enemies.
Both games are hard. Probally to hard but I was just quickly trying to make them. Will make easier ones next. (both games can be beaten on the normal minigame speed atleast lol)
Its to bad you can not touch and drag, I wanted to create a flightcontrol game...oh well will probally create more iPod based minigames.
SpacePirate Ridley said:
Already answered above me, but the boss games aren't even selectable from the games shelf (where the other games are stored), so yeah, probably not even an unlockable thing. Also means we can't use art and such from the boss games, but oh well.
Anyway, I was always a little angry that this game would be prevented from being as good as it could be since I knew you wouldn't be able to just grab random games online (since every other one would have a penis in it). Just the idea that you could have a mode where the game goes online, downloads ~18 random games at once, and makes you a new set automatically would make for a pretty much infinite game. But, it looks like Nintendo is going to be putting up some created games for download, both between the games made by developers and the contest submissions, so at least there's something. And we can always get new games, penises and all, through friend codes.
Enoug complaining. What I've played so far seems pretty awesome, and the tutorials are great. I can't wait until everyone on here starts getting a good collection of games going and circulating FCs.

Yeah kinda sad how this game doesn't seem to be getting the publicity it deserves. Me and my group of friends bought it and have been having a blast all day. Kinda bummed that you can only hold two games in your "warehouse", I was expecting more, but hey its better then nothing . Ill be adding whoever posts their friend codes so we can swap goodies.
