WarioWare: Move It! is the upcoming tenth installment in the WarioWare series, and the second game from the series for Nintendo Switch, following WarioWare: Get It Together!. It was first announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, and is set to be released worldwide on November 3, 2023. The game returns to the traditional gameplay style of the series after Get It Together!'s departure, and utilizes the Switch's Joy-Con motion sensor as its main mechanic.[3] As indicated by its Japanese title, WarioWare: Move It! is a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which showcased the Wii's motion controls in a similar manner.[2] It is also the first game to feature the replacement voice actor for Charles Martinet in the role of Wario.[6]
Overview
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.
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. The party mode of the game features five multiplayer modes (two returning from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!) which can be played with up to four players, who each choose a crew member to play as.
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.[7][8] 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 2-player, if one fails, but the other wins the microgame, no life will be lost.
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 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.
