WarioWare: Touched! is a super fun video game released for the Nintendo DS in 2004 and 2005. It's known for its really quick and silly challenges called "microgames." This game was one of the first to show off the cool features of the Nintendo DS, like its touchscreen and microphone.

Discover the World of Microgames

WarioWare: Touched! is all about playing lots of tiny games, one after another. These games are called microgames because they are super short. You usually only have a few seconds to figure out what to do and complete the task.

How to Play: Using Touch and Sound

The game uses the special features of the Nintendo DS. You'll mostly use the touchscreen with your finger or a stylus. Sometimes you might need to blow into the microphone!

  • Touchscreen fun: Many microgames ask you to tap, drag, or draw on the screen. For example, you might need to pop balloons or slice fruit.
  • Microphone magic: Some games use the microphone. You might have to blow out a candle or make a sound to wake someone up.

Meet the Characters and Their Games

The game features Wario, a greedy but funny character, and his friends. Each character has their own set of microgames with a unique theme.

  • Wario: His games often involve tapping or rubbing the screen.
  • Mona: Her games might have you drawing or connecting things.
  • Jimmy T.: Get ready to move your stylus in his rhythm-based games.
  • Ashley: Her spooky games often involve dragging objects.

The goal is to complete as many microgames as possible before you run out of "lives." It's a fast-paced and exciting challenge!

Game Development and Release

WarioWare: Touched! was created by Nintendo SPD and Intelligent Systems. It was first released in Japan in December 2004. Players in North America and Australia got to play it in February 2005. European players could buy it starting in March 2005. It was also later released on the Virtual Console for the Wii U and as a digital download for the Nintendo 3DS.
