Long time since this topic was posted in, but we now officially have footage of some of the other mini games. See this new overview trailer for more:

The main new ones shown are Dr Crygor's mini game (although I have no idea what's going on) and Ashley's mini game. Here's a screen of the latter:

So yeah, it's not much, but it's some new footage I thought was relevant enough to bump the topic to talk about.

@CM30 Little news is much better than no news at all, the game just keeps getting better and better!

@CM30 And they say this game wont be worth the price. That video looked like TONS of fun and content to continuously play again and again and again!

Still cringing at how Mona looks nothing like herself. DX

Love the way 9-Volt looks in that late night gaming minigame though.

Young Cricket's and Ashley's minigames look really cool! Actually, these "minigames" don't look that mini to me. Could this be like Nintendo Land and be more robust than it seems?

My hype for this game keeps getting bigger!

Box Art alert! I hope we keep something similar for the western version. (I also hope we get a release date soon)

So excited for this game! That video only made me even more so looking forward to it.

More gameplay footage of Pirate, Kung Fu, Gamer, and Patchwork.

Some more character pages are now live on the official website:

Skiing (Jimmy T)

Taxi (Dribble and Spitz)

Island (Fronk, I think)

@CM30 Yeah, that's Fronk, he's awesome, just like Pyoro

I played the skiing game at comic-con, it's sorta like the Captain Falcon's Twister Race, except you're going down.

Also, does anyone know if Waluigi finally makes it into the game/series?

How many games will there be in the game?

I would flip with delight if he was in this game, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Nintendo never bothered to put him in any Wario-related game before.

Probably about 16 if the number of links on the official site is accurate. Then again, 18 Volt was seen in one of these trailers and he didn't seem to be listed on the official site, so who knows.

Waluigi's chances are slim. He's been in previous games in cameo form (usually in the microgames themselves as a background character), but he's never really been shown as part of the actual main cast.

Probably because it's difficult to come up with a WarioWare esque design for a Dick Dastardly style villain in a somewhat more 'realistic' setting.

When and where did Waluigi make cameos in WarioWare? I didn't recall any.

@DestinyMan Waluigi sorta makes a cameo in WarioWare Smooth Moves, in the microgame where you gotta scare the people away with something smelly, one of the people sorta looks like Waluigi, however, looking more closely, the mustache is more like Wario's then Waluigi's, and plus that's Wario's outfit.

Or maybe, there might be a cameo i'm just overlooking, in the same game, who does the shop person look like?

Can we just assume this game won't be heading to NA this month? I feel Nintendo of America is far too tight-lipped about it for the possibility to be considered anymore.

I don't think the game will be coming out before E3, maybe not even this year

Are you kidding? It's coming out in Japan on March 28, and it may come out in the West within the following three days. I would agree that Nintendo and espeically NOA has been too hush-hush on Game & Wario, but they ought to stick with their commitment to release it within the launch window.

I'd love to get it this month

If only NOA would just give us a date already ;__;

The game's definitely going to be out within a few months or less, it's marked as coming out in Q2, which means between 1 January 2013 – 31 March 2013 (that's the second quarter of a fiscal year). Even if it gets delayed I suspect it'll be out no later than May 2013.

And yes, Nintendo are way, way too hush about this game. There was even an article that mentioned that under the video and picture of Ashley mini game a few posts up. They seem to have basically abandoned the idea of marketing it.

We technically haven't gotten our March Nintendo Direct yet. So I'm holding out for one soon~
