WarioWare Gold

Released: 7/27/2018

GOING FOR GOLD “I'm going to be filthy rich!" Wario’s problems don’t end here though – he’s also stolen a rather heavy piece of golden treasure, and someone’s after him to get it back! MASH, TWIST, TOUCH, AND BLOW! In Story mode, you’ll have to shoulder-barge your way through Mash, Twist, and Touch Leagues, each one filled with microgames created by returning characters from the WarioWare world. What’s more, each character has their own problem-filled backstory, so there’s more motivation than ever to help them out – if Wario being a jerk isn’t enough, that is! Help Mona prepare for her party, Dr. Crygor run from a mop-wielding robot, and even 9-Volt overcome his fear of maths class! Of course, there are also brand new microgames, keeping players of all experiences on their tippy-toes. There’s never been a greater selection of microgames all in one place!
