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 make a lot of money, Wario decides to create games for that console and starts working on his computer. His friends in Diamond City also hear news about the console, and have shown interest in creating games for it as well.

Gameplay
The game makes full use of the Wii U GamePad controller, as it includes 16 minigames that require players to use the controller's touch screen. Players must play a variety of minigames to earn medals and bonus items.

Cluck-A-Pop
The game features a mode where players can use tokens they find in the minigames to get prize capsules out of a machine resembling a chicken called the Cluck-A-Pop (know as Chick-N-Win in Europe and Australia). Each token gives the player one chance to "pop" a prize out of the chicken machine. These prizes are listed below:
 * Eraser debris: This prize requires the player blow into the microphone to blow used pieces of eraser onto a person's head as if it is hair.
 * Top Set: A top set is given to the player. Other prizes can be used as tops.
 * Adventure King Clock
 * Shadow-Puppet Projector
 * Balloon Fighter Break!

 * Game & Watch: As aforementioned, the title and the logo are references to this series. Additionally, Game & Wario features minigames with simple titles (e.g. Arrow, Kung Fu) and so does the Game & Watch series. A microgame based on Ball appears in Gamer. All of the small icons used to represent the minigames are in black and white and feature simplistic designs that resemble characters or elements from the original Game & Watch games. Also, in the "Bird" minigame, the gamepad features Game & Watch like gameplay.
 * WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!: Gold Digger and Sole Man are remade for the Gamer minigame. Another microgame makes full reference to Nighttime Allergies, with similar background, and the same woman with running nose.
