In this morning's Nintendo Direct video straight from Japan, company president Satoru Iwata sped through a huge list of Wii U titles, listing off names, prices and release dates in rapid succession. It was all so he could spend a more significant amount of time showcasing at least one specific title, though – Wii U's upcoming "Game & Wario."
The title, which is a spin-off of the popular WarioWare series, was revealed to include 16 total mini-games. All of them will be playable by up to five players simultaneously, and all will involve the GamePad in a signficant way. President Iwata showcased "Fruit" more than any other game – a design we've previously named as a hidden gem. So it's good to see Mr. Iwata thinks the same.
We also got a look at a new mini-game that casts players as 9-Volt, the video-game-addicted kid character from the WarioWare games, as he tries to stay up all night playing games while pretending to be asleep when his mother peeks into his room. And anyone still wondering about the fate of the Shield Pose demo from E3 2011 will be happy to know that it's made the cut for Game & Wario as well – and looks greatly expanded, too.
Stay tuned for more details, as we expect the North American Nintendo Direct airing later today will include more details on Game & Wario.
