'''''Game & Wario''''' is a party [[List of games|game]] for the [[Wii U]] console. This game is a spin-off from the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]].<ref name="BitBlock">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXKbyI3aei0]</ref> The game stars [[Wario]] and, like ''WarioWare'', it takes place in [[Diamond City]]. The game can be played by between one to five people. The title and logo are a reference to the [[Game & Watch]] series.

==Story==
[[Wario]] is watching television at [[Wario's House|his house]]. He changes channels, until noticing a report about a newly released console, featuring a controller with a screen (similarly to the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]]). He figures he can make a fortune by making games, so Wario feverishly 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.

[[Captain Wario (Game & Wario)|Wario]]'s [[Pirates]] game proves to be a success in the toy shop [[Toy Express]], with Wario (in his pirate costume) stating that the game's success is due to him designing it. After hearing Wario say this, the game's fans, mistaking him for the villain, create a large energy ball that blows Wario away. Wario crash lands into [[Club Sugar]], where the rest of Wario's employees are dancing. In response, [[Jimmy T]] smugly remarks, "Crashin' the party? That's our Wario." He then proposes to go bowling, which the other WarioWare employees enthusiastically accept.

==Gameplay==
''Game & Wario'' is a spin-off of the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, The [[microgame]]s of the previous installments have been mostly replaced by lengthier [[minigame]]s. The game features sixteen minigames, twelve of which are single-player (two featuring a two-player mode) and four more multiplayer-only minigames, each of which is hosted by a ''WarioWare'' character. Along with the solo and multiplayer modes, there is a separate game mode named [[Miiverse Sketch]], which isn't hosted by any ''WarioWare'' character and is the only game played using [[Miiverse]].

|[[Wario]]
|[[File:Arrow.png|170px|link=Arrow]]
|A shooting minigame that requires players to use a bow and arrow to shoot the on-screen MechaWario minions. The minigame is played by holding the GamePad vertically, aiming at the television screen, and using the touch screen to draw and fire the arrow at the enemies. If the MechaWario minions reach the television screen, they will appear on the GamePad's touch screen, where the player must tap them on the touch screen to make them disappear. A MechaWario boss also appears in the minigame as a boss. The player can also use pepper shakers by tapping the nose on the arrow which can have a bigger impact than the regular arrow.

|[[Mona]]
|[[File:ShutterGameWariotitlescreen.png|170px|link=Shutter]]
|In this minigame, players must search a variety of places (depending on the level) to look for hidden people. It is played by holding the GamePad in front of the television like a camera. Once players take a picture of one of the hidden people, they must tilt the GamePad down to send it to the newspaper editor. The newspaper editor will then give the player feedback on the picture and tell the player if they need to improve on the picture they took. The player can take multiple pictures for a better score but they have a limit on how many they can take. They can also take pictures of a "rare creature" (a [[Fronk (species)|Fronk]]) to get bonus points.

===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''' (known as '''Chick-N-Win''' in British English). Each token gives the player one chance to "pop" a prize out of the chicken machine. The color of the capsules determine the type of prize, Call Codes come from yellow capsules, Bugband performances come from green capsules, Balloon Fighter microgames come from orange capsules, Mona Superscoops and Orbulon's Prized Masterpieces come from purple capsules, Hint and Character cards come from blue capsules, and all other items come from red capsules. Additionally, The Game & Wario Epilogue and the Illustrated Schnozzipedia come from golden capsules and are only obtained by completing [[Pirates]] and [[Bowling]] respectively. After obtaining all prizes, the player obtains a Cluck-A-Pop machine replica from a white capsule before the machine itself transforms into a token machine. There are 240 collection prizes, each listed below:<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWJx0agis3I]</ref>

The character design went through a style shift, with the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' developers now being drawn with thicker outlines and (except for [[Wario]]) solid black eyes. This makes the art style more similar to the ''{{wp|Rhythm Heaven}}'' series, which ''WarioWare''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s character designer [[Ko Takeuchi]] also works on.

==Regional differences==
*The Japanese logos of the minigames each had a Japanese subtitle. This subtitle was removed in the international versions.
*At the end of the film shown in "Beans", in the Japanese version, the ending text says "Fin." International versions have the text all in lowercase.
*In the explanation in "Shutter" showing how to hold the GamePad towards the TV, the picture depicting the wrong way to hold it is captioned "NG" in the Japanese version. This was changed to an X in the international versions.
*All but two of Decision Boy's voice lines were cut in the English version, with the uncut lines being "Yes!" and "No!". The cut lines were 「ボクケツダンくん！」, 「どうぞ！」, and 「ＯＫ！」 meaning "I'm Decision Boy!", "Go ahead!", and "OK!" respectively.
**The other foreign language versions piggybacked off of the English version, only dubbing "Yes!" and "No!"
*The exclamation points in the "! WARNING !" text that appears before the boss in stages of Arrow are more rounded in the Japanese version.

==Development==
In 2011, ''WarioWare'' director [[Goro Abe]] was tasked to create pre-installed software for [[Wii U]], and he, in turn, asked [[Intelligent Systems]] for assistance. As the development team knew the demo would be played by a wider audience than their usual titles, they deliberately restrained their usual "wacky" aesthetics. This changed when producer [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] played the prototype and asked the team to "shake things up".<ref name="Iwata Asks">Iwata, Satoru. et al. ''[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/gameandwario/0/2 Iwata Asks: Games & Wario]. (Retrieved 17 July, 2015)</ref>

In the summer of 2011, the developers felt the project had enough content to justify being sold as a retail game and decided to make the title an original license. Due to difficulties creating a storyline that would coherently tie the minigames together, it was suggested to make the game part of the ''WarioWare'' series as it would provide a convenient framing device. Several of the [[Cluck-A-Pop]] capsules are leftovers from the original concept.<ref name="Iwata Asks"></ref>

Near the end of development, personnel from other divisions of [[Nintendo SPD]] were brought in to assist in finishing the game on time. It was the first time the entire SPD department collaborated on a single project.<ref name="Iwata Asks"></ref>

==Reception==
The game has received mixed reviews. IGN gave the game a 5.1 stating that the game only had three games worth playing. GameXplain gave the game's single-player 2 1/2 out of 5 stars and its multiplayer 3 1/2 stars out of 5. Joystiq gave the game a 2/5. Meanwhile, Destructoid gave the game a fair score of 7/10 which is followed by Famitsu, which scored the game as 31/40.

|7.5/10
|align="left"|"''Game & Wario is the most "normal" game in the WarioWare series (assuming it's officially a part of the series) which is part of what makes it so weird. As a whole, it's all over the place, sometimes original, sometimes derivative, sometimes dry, sometimes funny, sometimes simple, sometimes complicated. It's clear that Nintendo just wasn't sure what to do with some of these games, so they threw them in the Game & Wario package whether they fit there or not. Regardless of originality, all these games are well polished and fun, though none of them are going to please everyone. Considering the budget price and the amount of content here, you could do a lot worse. Just don't go into it expect Nintendo Land-sized production values or that frantic WarioWare feeling.''"

|6/10
|align="left"|"''There's fun to be had, but this isn't the reliable source of brilliant design that it should be. If you expected breezy old Wario to make sense of the Wii U in some fundamental manner, you're going to be disappointed by a game that occasionally seems quietly defeated by its host platform. You'll hope for an epiphany, but in Game & Wario's least inspired moments, what you'll get can feel uncomfortably close to an inquest.''"

|5.1/10
|align="left"|"''Wario Ware was once bristling with creativity and energy, fizzing and sputtering with mad, short-form ideas, but Game & Wario is just a bit boring. The selection of games is sparse, and a couple of excellent ones don't make up for the rest. The Wii U is still waiting for its Wii Sports moment.''"

==Marketing==
===Crowdfarter===
As part of the game's marketing campaign, Nintendo of America opened a "Crowdfarter" (a play on "{{wp|Crowdfunding|crowdfunding}}" and "{{wp|Kickstarter}}") website. Instead of people donating actual money, visitors "donated" via tweeting and Facebook likes. The more publicity ''Game & Wario'' received, the more coins it gained. When a certain amount of coins was achieved, a small digital present was unlocked. When 5 bajillion coins were gained, a digital badge was allowed to be downloaded. When 25 bajillion coins were gathered, a wallpaper for the game was released. With 50 bajillion coins, ringtones of Wario were released. Finally, with 100 bajillion coins, a trailer was released.

===Drawing contest===
For the European launch, a "[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Game-Wario-592763.html?deeplink=terms ''Game & Wario'' Drawing Contest]" ran from June 28 to July 12 where participants drew a scene of everyday life in the company [[WarioWare, Inc.]], and sent it to the respective [[Miiverse]] community with their [[Nintendo Network]] ID. The designs were evaluated by experts, who chose the top ten based on criteria such as creativity and artistic endeavor. Residents that were at least 12 years old could participate in the following countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK. The first five earned funds to spend in the [[Nintendo eShop]] for 100€, and the last five placed raised funds for the eShop worth 50 euros.

===''Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection''===
Starting on June 25, 2013, [[Nintendo]]'s Japanese YouTube account had begun uploading a series of videos named ''Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection'', which showcased drawings made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Each video is themed around a specific word and features commentary by a ''WarioWare'' character. The series concluded on November 12, 2013.

==References to other games==
*[[Game & Watch]] series: 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.
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': The third stage of the [[Sole Man]]-esque microgame in Gamer features a ''Super Mario Bros.'' background, with its [[Brick Block]]s, "[[? Block|!? Blocks]]", bushes and clouds, while a boy in a [[Goomba]] costume must try to be stepped on by [[Mario]]'s feet. A puzzle in Patchwork also features this game's [[Super Star|Star]].
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': One of the puzzles in Patchwork depicts Mario's head and a [[Super Mushroom]] from this game.
