Wario Ware Inc. Site Opens

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out that the official Wario Ware, Inc. website has opened, advertising the forthcoming Gameboy Advance micro-game title (that's mini mini-games, of course) being released in the States on May 26th. Here's a preview with screenshots which explains the concept a little better - you have about 5 seconds to play and win each microgame, which even include riffs on Mario, Duck Hunt, and so on, and a massive amount of different microgames are chained together until.. well, your brain dribbles out of your ears. Should be fun.

  1. Awesome game by someguy · · Score: 3, Informative

    I managed to try out this game imported and it is truly insane.

    It's about how fast you can react and analyze new mini-games. There's over 100 of them total. You play through different sections, trying to beat games that get harder and harder. As you get a certain number of levels in for each section you unlock other sections.

    A lot of these games are based off of 8-bit nintendo games and replicate the original look perfectly. But you also even see a lot of game and watch type games and even some cameos by a virtua boy game or two.

    The games really are super short short and a lot of them involve hitting a specific button quickly or performing a certain controller movement before the time limit is up. The concept works *totally* well and should definitely be picked up by anybody who thinks they're fast players and is looking for something unique.

    That particular game involves a hand sliding back and forth horizontally under the nose. The object is to press the action button at the proper time to have the finger go up into the nose. Harder iterations involve faster hand movement and narrower nostrils.
