It was first announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, and is set to be released worldwide on November 3, 2023.

''WarioWare: Move It!'' is, like other installments in the ''WarioWare'' series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles. Being a successor to ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', its gameplay utilizes motion controls, with the Joy-Con (referred to in-game as the [[Form Stones]]) as controllers. Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in [[Diamond City]], the game takes place on a new tropical location, named Caresaway Island.<ref name=JPSite2>[https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/77f204fe-dadd-48c0-85f7-fb1b0b35091e 今度の舞台は、バリオモロ島！？ 『超おどる メイド イン ワリオ』の最新映像をご紹介。].

Retrieved October 25, 2023.</ref> As such, the characters of the game wear tropical outfits. The cutscenes of the game make use of full-motion video animation with full voice-acting, like ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.

In the game, the story mode can be played either single- or multiplayer. Its level selection screen is reminiscent of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' and ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''; each level is represented by one to three character heads, while the remix stages are represented by jeepneys that hold select characters. Story multiplayer returns from ''Get It Together!'' with slight differences. Players take turns playing single-player microgames, and if one player fails, the second player can preserve the life at stake in a tag-in challenge by playing the same microgame. If the second player fails the tag-in, the life is lost. Ocassionally, the players will play a two-player microgame simultaneously and must complete the microgame together.<ref name=VCGameplay> Video Chums. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHqvczAJb7k].

==Plot==

The game begins with a short video about the history of the Form Stones, followed by an advertisement for [[Caresaway Island]] shown on a television by a burger vendor. [[Wario]], driving [[Wario Bike|his bike]] in [[Diamond City]], notices the vendor and orders fifty Garlic Burgers, granting him fifty chances to draw tickets. He ultimately gets the winning ticket, a voucher for a free vacation to Caresaway Island with twenty of his friends. His employees overhear his victory and they all set off to the island via a yacht, wearing vacation gear. When the employees finally arrive at the island, they are welcomed by a tourist.
