Game and Wario

Awesome sauce. This could lead to some excellent drunken gaming evenings...

That's a money maker right there.

Game and Wario will have a budget price in the US, apparently. Hope that's confirmed for the rest of the world - if so, I call day one purchase!

Of course, budget price on Wii u could just mean standard price on any other console . . .

Glad this has a release date now. I hope the budget price in the US makes the transition here, though I don't think that happened with Rhythm Paradise Wii to the same extent (though I was perfectly happy paying £34.99 for that) or Lego City Wii U ($49.99 on the US eShop, £49.99 over here).

Enough about the price, though, as some of the minigames in this look like really good fun. Islands, for example, looks like a more instantaneous Monkey Target, except it's all done in one big round that never 'resets', so your launched Spongebob things (I forgot their names) can knock your friends' off the targets and change everyone's scores in realtime.

Looks like a winner, that one.

These guys?


They're called Fronks, wish we had an emoticon version of those.

Ah yes! Cute little fellas.

Just been reminded how WarioWare has so many unique character designs.

To be honest, I've barely even looked at what games this has. I'm just assuming goodness.

If there genuinely is one that's as bit like monkey target, I'm sold.

Run my little pretties

Woohoo! Cheers for adding Fronks as emoticons here, Balladeer, this has made my day.

Might have to commission The_Jaster to make me a Fronk Avatar on Colors! 3D

I've not really looked in to this, purely a day one purchase based on the previous games.

I'll definitely be getting this, though I do hope that something more substantial, like Pikmin 3, isn't far behind. As good as Wario Minigame games are, they're a bit slight even to my tastes. Hopefully there's a bit more meat to it this time, otherwise I can see me looking ahead beyond June 28th much sooner than I'd like (if that makes sense).

Once I get my current colors 3d work done I'd be happy to.

Wario's gone and done a Kickstarter parody.

Laughed at that? For another laugh, scroll down to the bottom of this page and read the comments. Oh CVG.

I'm gutted about that kickstarter parody, when I read the name "crowdfarter" on twitter I thought it was a new game on Game & Wario in which you had to drift in to a crowd of people and fart in an attempt to disguise that you're the purportrater, you can imagine my disappointment when I realised it wasn't a real thing.

THAT IS THE BEST IDEA EVER

But bless Intelligent Systems for parodying Kickstarter of all things. Although I wouldn't want to be Kickstarting a game for a Nitnendo console right now.

Who'd have thought that it would be NoA, of all companies, to take the mick out of crowdsourcing? Well played!

I should probably get a kickstarter going for that game.

So this is coming out in a few days.

£26.56 at ShopTo.

By "a few days l" you mean next week right?

The review scores so far have amounted to "good but not stellar", alongside "works much better with friends". That makes me far less sure about getting it. 

A Nintendo Life 7/10 says about all you need to know. Looks like I'll be skipping this one, unless I have a bit of birthday money going spare next weekend.

I still have a gift card to use at GAME so I'll pick this up, multiplayer Nintendo Land has slowly been getting old now anyway.

Eh, I'll be getting it anyway.  nupkin's keen to try out the multiplayer.
