Savor this DS release - who knows when we'll get another one.
WarioWare: Touched! Puts More Than 180 Games in the Palm of Your Hand
This is the Nintendo DS Game that Fans are Waiting For
REDMOND, Wash.--Feb. 15, 2005--WarioWare™: Touched! is the
Nintendo DS™ game you've been waiting for; 9-Volt, Kat, Ana, Dr.
Crygor, Jimmy, Mona and, of course, Wario™ are back. Wario may not
always be nice, but he knows how to have a good time. WarioWare:
Touched! provides hours of dual-screen fun, as players zip through
more than 180 mini-games.
"WarioWare: Touched! showcases the unique touch-screen abilities
of Nintendo DS," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior
vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Players
will spend hours mastering the highly addictive five-second games and
collecting special souvenirs."
WarioWare: Touched! builds on the success of the wildly popular
WarioWare series. But this version offers completely new ways to play.
Most mini games will have players tapping, dragging or rubbing the
touch screen, while others require them to blow into the built-in
microphone. Half the fun is figuring out exactly what each mini game
requires the player to do.
A mini game might call for a player to use the touch screen to
spin a roll of toilet paper, strike a match or chop vegetables. Others
ask them to blow into the microphone to tickle someone's ear or to
cool a cup of coffee. The further a player progresses, the faster and
more frantic the games get. Top players will collect a variety of
souvenirs, such as a playable piano, a pet chameleon and a pingpong
game.
Nintendo has sold more than 2.8 million Nintendo DS systems
worldwide. By the end of March, 6 million units will have shipped
worldwide. WarioWare: Touched!, Rated E for Everyone, is available
now.

The little bonus prizes that you win are sometimes interesting, but more than a few have been bizarre... like why would you want an over timer?
