Big Name Games[edit]

The shelf icon for a Big Name Game in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

Microgames made by famous people were available in the category Big Name Games. In Japan, these games were only available for a limited time in most cases, unlike the Weekly Games. The following table includes all people who have created at least one microgame for Nintendo that could be downloaded and names the distribution period of their games in the last column. Big Name Games sport a unique, star-shaped cartridge design with a label resembling a person's silhouette.

Most of these people were involved in the video game industry in some way. Many of the creators of the Big Name Games in Japan were editors of game magazines, while most of the games available for download in America were made by game designers. Note that many people are listed by their nicknames or pseudonyms, the real name is given in brackets in such cases if available. The occupation applies to the time of the game release.
