Game & Wario

Game & Wario is an upcoming party game for the Wii U, being one of its launch titles. 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.

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

Single-player

 * Arrow: A shooting minigame that requires players to use a bow and arrow to shoot the on-screen Tiny Wario robots. The minigame is played by holding the Wii U GamePad vertically, aiming at the television screen, and using the touch screen to draw and fire the arrow at the enemies. If the Tiny Warios reach the television screen, they will appear on the Wii U GamePad's touch screen, where the player must tap them on the touch screen to make them disappear. A gigantic Wario-like robotic vehicle also appears in the minigame as a boss.
 * Ski: A skiing game in which the skiier must ski all the way to the finish line. Players control the skiier by holding the Wii U GamePad vertically and tilting it left and right.
 * Shutter: In this minigame, players must search the buildings and streets to look for hidden criminals. It is played by holding the Wii U GamePad in front of the television like a camera. Once players take a picture of a criminal, they must tilt the Wii U GamePad down to send it to the newspaper editor.
 * Puzzle: A minigame where you crack a code by solving a puzzle.
 * Shapes: A microgame hosted by Dr. Crygor, where the player must memorize outlines and shapes to redraw them. It resembles the E3 2011 Wii U demo "Measure Up".
 * Pirate: A microgame involving the player avoiding Wario's attacks, with a pirate theme. It resembles the E3 2011 Wii U demo "Shield Pose".
 * Gamer: A remix on the 9-Volt stages of the other WarioWare games. You play classic Nintendo games on the GamePad, but you have to look on the TV, because 9-Volt's mom may be looking to see if your playing video games in bed.

Multiplayer

 * Fruit: The only known multiplayer minigame so far, it requires 2-5 players to play. In the minigame that takes place in a small town filled with lots of people, one player must use the Wii U GamePad to control a character on-screen and steal fruit that are found all over town without the other players knowing. Afterwards, the other players must take the Wii U GamePad and try to identify the thief.
