WarioWare: Move It!
WarioWare: Move It! is a 2023 party video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.
Gameplay
Like previous entries in the WarioWare series, the game tasks players with tackling waves of fast-paced minigames known as "microgames". Similar to the 2006 Wii game, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which used the system's Wii Remote controller for motion-controlled microgames, the game focuses on using the motion controls of the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con controllers. Each microgame centers around one of several "forms" depicting how the player should initially hold the Joy-Con, after which players move the controllers accordingly to complete each microgame. In addition to motion controls, some microgames also utilize the infrared camera on the right Joy-Con. Move It! includes over 200 microgames.
Development
WarioWare: Move It! was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on June 21, 2023. The game was released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on November 3, 2023. On August 21, 2023, Nintendo announced Charles Martinet's retirement from voicing Wario and other characters, and confirmed his absence from Move It!.
