Game & Wario

Game & Wario is a party game for the Wii U. This game is a spin-off from the WarioWare series. The game stars Wario and, like WarioWare, it takes place in Diamond City. The game can be played between one to five people. The title and logo are a reference to the Game & Watch series.

Story
Wario is watching television at his house. He changes channels, until noticing a reporting about a newly released console, featuring a controller with a screen (similarly to the Wii U GamePad). In order to win a lot of money, Wario decides to create games for that console and starts working on his computer. His friends in Diamond City also have news about the console, and are interested in it.

Arrow
Wario is at home, eating strawberries and watching TV. A mouse comes from behind his head and steals the last strawberry before running away. Wario grabs arch and arrows from a passer-by archer and shoot them at the mouse. He hits the strawberry and gets it back, but the mouse keeps running. Later, Wario is sleeping in his house. The animal comes back and throws pepper at his nose, making him sneeze. The mouse bounces in the room until it hits Wario's dusty laptop. From this, Wario has the idea of creating the Arrow minigame.

Shutter
Joe gets a phone call from Mona and tells her that he has the latest scoop for their next newspaper. He asks her to go out to the crime scene to take pictures for evidence. She says "OK" and zooms out on her scooter to the crime scene. Once she gets to the crime scene, she sneaks up on the criminals and takes a picture of them and as a result, the get arrested.

Ski
Jimmy skis pass a girl and suddenly she and some other girls join in a line to ski with him. They then jump off from a slope.
