Nintendo has officially announced the newest entry in the WarioWare franchise, WarioWare: Move It, boasting co-op gameplay and over 200 microgames for players to try out. Since its debut on the Game Boy Advance, the spin-off starring the evil counterpart of Mario has grown into one of Nintendo's most beloved and eccentric series. While Wario originally starred in the Wario Land platformers, the character's true claim to fame has been the fast-paced microgame series filled with wacky and unusual mini-games. Now, Wario is bringing a brand-new game to the Switch.
The announcement of the newest WarioWare game would be far from the first time the mustachioed miscreant has made his way to the Nintendo Switch. 2021 saw the release of the franchise's most recent entry with WarioWare: Get It Together! receiving positive reception from both critics and fans. Wario has also appeared in several Mario sports games released on the Switch. Now, Wario's flagship franchise is bringing more zany fun to the Switch with WarioWare: Move It officially confirmed.
Nintendo would reveal WarioWare: Move It during Wednesday's Nintendo Direct broadcast, unveiling some of the microgame fun in store for fans. The trailer places an emphasis on motion controls with many of the microgames within WarioWare: Move It controlled using the JoyCons' motion function. WarioWare: Move It also showcased several microgames based on popular Nintendo franchises, including Pikmin and the slide level from Super Mario 64. WarioWare: Move It will launch on November 3rd with pre-orders available following the broadcast.
WarioWare: Move It would show off several co-op features within the franchise's newest entry, featuring both two and four-player options. The trailer teased multiple co-op microgames featuring different inputs from both players required to complete the tasks, as well as some exclusive four-player microgames. Nintendo would also reveal a board game mode for WarioWare: Move It, reminiscent of the developer's other popular Mario Party franchise. Move It will feature a total of "over 200 microgames" between its single-player and multiplayer modes when the game debuts later this year.
The reveal of WarioWare: Move It comes during a Nintendo Direct broadcast jam-packed with new announcements for beloved Nintendo franchises. The developer would reveal more of Pikmin 4 during the livestream, as well as confirming HD remasters of two classic Pikmin games releasing later today. Nintendo would conclude the broadcast by revealing a brand-new Super Mario 2D platformer titled Super Mario Bros. Wonder, launching later this year.
