The headquarters of WarioWare, Inc..

WarioWare, Inc. is a company founded and managed by Wario and plays a central role in the WarioWare games. It is located in Diamond City, where Wario often meets with many of his friends. He and his friends develop the WarioWare games for Wario's company, including their main feature, the microgames. Despite the high success of the games, Wario usually refuses to pay his friends.

History

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

Wario working in the newly built headquarters.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, which retells the story of the company's making (in view of the fiction), Wario gets the idea to found a video game company in Diamond City when he watches Ken's report about the successful video game Pyoro. Thinking that he could also make profit with a video game, he mounts his Wario Bike and takes off in order to get a laptop. Soon, Wario's House, located on a mountain pillar, was replaced with the headquarters of WarioWare, Inc., the newly founded company. However, shortly after Wario starts working on the game with the laptop, he gets tired. Then, he comes up with the idea to phone his friends, who could help him on the game. All known people he calls agree and in order to save money, he lets them develop a lot of microgames rather than one full game.

The first game of WarioWare, Inc. becomes a success, but Wario doesn't want to share the profit with his friends, so he tries to escape with the money in a rocket attached to the building. However, his attempt fails because the flying Dr. Crygor crashes into the rocket, causing it to fall into the sea with Wario and the money. Several of the following games, including WarioWare: Twisted!, WarioWare: Touched!, and WarioWare: Smooth Moves, continue to focus on Wario's attempts at making money, but WarioWare, Inc. is not mentioned.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.

In WarioWare: D.I.Y., Mona, Jimmy T., Ashley, Orbulon and 9-Volt leave WarioWare, Inc. in favor of Diamond Software. Dr. Crygor one day gets the idea to make a machine that makes microgames. Wario and Penny introduce the machine to the player, so the player can make microgames for the company. They return to WarioWare Inc. for the Wii U game, Game & Wario.

Name differences

Wario's staff card in the Japanese (top) and western versions (bottom) of the first WarioWare game, showing the western name of his company in both cases.

In the West, WarioWare, Inc. or just WarioWare is both the name of Wario's company and the video game series. However, in Japan his company is known as Wario Company (ワリオカンパニー Wario Kanpanī) and the games are called Made in Wario. Despite this, the name WarioWare, Inc. was already introduced in the Japanese version of the very first game of the series, prior to the western release. On Wario's staff card shown in the opening sequence, it reads "WarioWare, Inc." (the capitalization varies) in both the Japanese and western versions. In the Japanese version, this was an exception, though.
