WarioWare: Touched! is a video game created exclusively for the Nintendo DS handheld platform by Nintendo itself, after being developed by its internal SPD Group No. 1, in collaboration with Intelligent Systems, and released on December 2, 2004, in Japan, February 14, 2005 in North America and March 11, 2005, in Europe, becoming extremely popular with fans of the popular series
WarioWare: Touched, like previous titles in the successful franchise, features a collection of various mini-games, which allow players to engage in a big number of different activities, all using the special features of the DS, including its touchscreen, microphone or accelerometer systems, for experiences that center around the franchise's iconic characters, including Wario himself, but also 9-Volt, Mona, Mike, Jimmy T, or Kat and Ana, who all reward players for completing their various activities successfully.
The plot of the game, as you can tell from the title, centers around Wario, who drops a Game Boy Advance and a Game Boy Advance SP into a sewer, only to find a brand new Nintendo DS-like device instead.
The story sees Wario use his friends to create brand new activities for the device, which he then tries to sell to unknowing customers as breakthroughs in technology.
As you complete the mini-games, Wario falls ill, and eats a special type of garlic that transforms him into Wario-Man, a super-powered version of his usual self.
HINTS
Blow harder in microphone
If you talk or scream into the microphone, you will be very loud in the game. This also works if you whistle into the microphone.
Hidden message
Note: This requires the Turntable toy. Load Ashley's Theme and fast forward it by spinning it clockwise very fast with the stylus. You will hear a garbled voice that may be Ashley saying "I have banished kids to hell!" Oh no, not again!"
