Wario Ware Touched!

Drag, rub, it's all in the mind! Wario is back for some primordial mini--game madness.

Nintendo's favorite antihero is back with a new collection of 200 more oddball mini--games for the DS. In Wario Ware Touched, the basic conceptual premise remains the same as those in previous Wario Ware titles: You are bombarded with a multitude of fast--paced, hilariously quirky mini--games designed to tap into your primordial subconsciousness and bring forth a plethora of actions guided by only your initial primeval responses.

While it shares the distinctive feel of the Wario Ware series--simple yet bizarre mini--games with set time limits--Wario Ware Touched brings a whole new dimension to the series due to the DS's unique stylus and microphone functions. Touched exclusively utilizes the new control scheme, brining an innovative and frantically amped up dimension to the Wario Ware franchise. Instead of traditionally tapping buttons, Touched enables you to drag, rub, slash, tap, and write with the stylus pointer to navigate the menagerie of mini--game kookiness.

Has Wario Touched You?

Although a few of Touched's games are rehashes of the previous Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$ titles, all of the games have been refreshingly tweaked for the new game controls. If you thought the previous Wario Ware mini--games were tough, you're in for a treat--try figuring out whether you should drag, poke, slash, or write in a three--second instant. Additionally, Touched also utilizes the microphone function for players to blow into for certain mini--games.

9--Volts Is Back!

Each character has 21 mini--games, and every character's games are united with a common game--control theme. Completing the initial character's challenges unlocks additional characters and mini--game mega mixes, which mix up the game--control themes.

Furthermore, the DS's duel--screen format has been put to excellent use. In most mini--games, the top screen is used to give brief clues in the initial period of a game or to spawn an object, which will fall into the bottom screen, where you must interact with it using the stylus. To date, Wario Ware Touched is the only DS game that fully utilizes the DS's unique functions and is a must have for all DS owners.
