The latest edition of Iwata Asks reveals that Game & Wario was originally meant to be a pre-installed title for the Wii U, according to director Goro Abe. Game & Wario started life as a game called Pirates which involved players using the Wii U GamePad as a shield to stop arrows that fly towards the television screen. Abe says that they had to refrain from making the game too quirky as it had to have mainstream appeal for consumers.
“At first, the idea was to make a game that would come preinstalled on the Wii U console. I became involved in the project when it was already underway, and I began by asking myself what kind of games the Wii U GamePad might make possible.”
“When I had an idea of the overall direction for the project, I knew that I needed to try these ideas out to see whether or not they would be fun, so I asked Intelligent Systems to work on realizing the ideas I’d had.”
“It wasn’t actually conceived of as being part of the WarioWare series. E3 was approaching, and we began working on something that we could present and which would be easy for people to pick up and play.”
“Our basic premise was that this should be a game that everyone could enjoy. The WarioWare team have always had free reign to come up with all kinds of zany ideas, but we now found that we had to restrain ourselves…”
game & wario should be 9.99$ eshop title
I wouldn’t mind that.
its only worth that
Have you already played it?
are you questioning the great one of the darkness!!!!!!…… no, but still its only worth that it should of been pre installed.
Personally, I think the game looks abysmal. Really disappointing.
How when the game wasn’t released yet? Pretty narrow minded to judge too early eh?
It’s actually been out in Japan for quite some time.

First of all, don’t copy and paste other people’s comments. And second of all, the game hasn’t even come out yet. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Interested in buying it. $39.99 seems like a good price
was this a new game ?
Interesting.
It looks fun to me for party play. Not sure if it’ll be worth it for single player.
it should os stayed that way if you know what i mean…..
I think it’s wind up being more popular than people think. However the only thing I feel should have been pre-installed were the Japanese Garden and Zelda HD demos.
So, this was to be the game that came with te system…
Explains why they were forced to take a stand-alone title, and try to package it up with one of the Models. Seems like it’s all part of the clusterfuck.
Nintedo’s been stumbling getting WiiU up and running too long. I bet it WAS a strong console when they designed it, but when you wait soooo long to release it, it will launch out-dated.
Still. The gamepad is pretty fucking amazing. I hope they start pulling their shit together before the big guns come out. Their only saving grace will be people not wanting to pay Gaming-PC prices for consoles.
aha even more shitendo they only got like 4 serieses thats any good. lol
Go and kill yourself , lol.
ow thats harsh u know i FUCKIN LOVE monster hunter not craptndo but still nd fire emblem is amazing and zelda is awesome just nintendo are a crappy company tht make dumbass decisons
unless me pious is one of them, i dont agree. if you do go ahead and rage thats what i do when i dont get my way.
lol , I’m just playing. You’re entitled to your opinion.
I could easily name 20 Nintendo franchises that are good though.
English motherfucker do you speak it????
Actually, yeah. I like to talk like most trolls because it gets people really wound up. I don’t know why, but its funny.
hahhahahhahahhahhaahahah you are crazy, my master doesnt let me do anything, i didnt chose to be the chosen by the darkness…. me pious says hello and trolls could be a great army that i could use.
This game looks great and priced the same as a 3DS game? Awesome!
Have seen the trailers…..
Still do not get me.
Considering how shit this game looks so far, it should have been free!
By this years holiday seasons, they should have this and nintendo land in every Wii U pre-installed.
Has anyone seen my mama? 💋
Team Rocket captured her :/
Ash and Pikachua saved me. Praise the LAWD!!! Lawdy Lawdy Lawdy!… Baby, I’m right here! Mamma’s here now… 💋
I love the Wario ware series so i can’t wait to test it out. People arguing about it being $39.95 are the lucky ones…over here it will probably be $60+
embrace the darkness, we feel your pain, all mighty minions say become under pious the chosen of the darkness!!!!!! seriously though its boring here.
Didn’t it have that in the latest ONM as well..?
That would have been cool with the basic
I’ve never been interested in the Wario games. Probably because I’ve never been a fan of Wario. He’s one of those characters that I always WANTED to be a fan of, but never could. However, he’s much better than Waluigi.
your not missing a whole lot, oh and waluigi is the fucking worst character ever, even a goomba is better.
Agree with you on this one. Luigi is weak and the only thing weaker is an evil doppelgänger of Luigi!
I like Waluigi better… 💋
I like Waluigi. He isn’t fat like Wario, and he has a cool mustache. Plus, I love the color purple. His mischevious personality is cool, I think that more people would like him if Nintendo actually put a focus on him.
The game looks good for the price that it is. 💋
No, not the entire game was supposed to be preinstalled, just Camera and Pirates. Some games from Nintendo Land were supposed to come with the console too. The price that it has now is good, the game has fun minigames and a big amount of collectables.
