In my opinion this isn't WarioWare, not in any form. Even if it's the same characters, the gameplay is too different. Nonetheless, Nintendo Land changed my mind about minigames collections. If Game & Wario is anything like that title in terms of depth, I'll give it a chance.

Why wouldn't it be? Wario's games have always focused on single-player

I hate it when people just quote in a forum/comment section and then don't even add anything, just have a quote. I mean, what the hell does that add to the discussion? [rant over] Anyways, on the subject of the original quote, I have to agree while I am a big fan of the WarioWare series I wasn't too sure about having a mini game collection instead of a micro game collection. That was, until I played Nintendo Land, which totally blew my expectations away, no matter how generic the box art looks. Seeing Nintendo Land have such high production values and fun and replayable mini games really gave me hope for this game. Now I am hyped, and since a Japanese March launch date was confirmed, I'm hoping we'll get this pretty soon.

I'll pick it up and there's a 99% chance I'll enjoy it.

My only beef is if it's a full $60...but I'll probably get it anyway...

Despite being strangely absent from the recent Nintendo Direct, Game & Wario got some more details leaked out hinting at what characters and types of minigames will appear.

Birds and Beans?

im hoping this title will be like warioware: smooth moves on the wii ... that fruit theif mini game looked really boring ... lol

ill look into this game and lookat trailers and gameplay before buying this one

I can guess practically every character there aside from the 2 underneath Mona & Mike. I'm at a total loss as to who they could be.

@MrWalkieTalkie I think under Mike is 9-volt, but under Mona, I don't know who could that be, maybe it's the pizza dinosaur people, Joe the dog person, Penny, or dare I say it, Waluigi?

I did some more research, and that person might be either Robotic Tiny Warios or Snack bandits.

@SheldonRandoms That can't be 9-Volt he's at the bottom in the Light Green box with his turntables, well at least I think it's him.. XD

And what do you mean by Robotic Tiny Warios & Snack Bandits? You mean the little robot warios from the minigame "Arrow" and the thieves from the minigame "Fruit"?

I saw it on this wiki page http://www.mariowiki.com/Game_%26_Wario

I'm not sure if that's true, but there where Robotic Tiny Wario's in the game when I played it, so it could be them, since they where in the other WarioWare game, as for the Snack Bandits, if you look at the picture on the top, there is a picture of a man trying to grab a apple, so maybe it's the Snack Bandits, it would make sense since this is based on the Game & Watch games.

Also, if you look closely, that is 9-Volt, here's a picture of him, and that closely resembles him, in the light green box it looks like that may be Penny, or maybe 18-volt.

So I'm not the only one who saw that...

Well played sir, well played.

The person underneath Mona looks hairy and the person in the light-green space just looks strange, so I have no idea about them. The person underneath Mike is definitely 9-Volt, though.

I wonder who hosts the pirate and bowling minigames? I can almost guess who hosts what except for those two. I know Wario is in the pirate minigame, but he's already hosting Arrow.

Actually, now that I think about it, the one under Mona could be Young Cricket. And I see what you guys mean now, that one under Mike is 9-Volt.... Probably...

No, Young Cricket is in the gray space.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see about a couple of these characters.

Why Waluigi isn't in any of the Wario games is a mystery to me, maybe it could be him?

I am very excited for Game & Wario! I am going to purchase it on the release date!
