WarioWare: Smooth Moves
WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the latest in the WarioWare series of games, coming out for the Wii. It was first revealed in May 2006, via a TIME magazine article. The game was shown in video form at Nintendo's 2006 Pre-E3 Press Conference, and playable in a demo at Nintendo's E3 booth that year, as well as at the 2006 Nintendo Fusion Tour. In an interview, WarioWare series director Goro Abe indicated that he thinks Smooth Moves will be released within 90 days of the Wii console launch, "as Nintendo announced."
Story
According to the hack sheet obtainable through the Wii Press site, it gave a story.
While Wondering around his home of Diamond City, Wario accidentally stumbles into an old building called the Temple of Form. Inside, he finds a mystical treasure called the Form Baton. There are many ways to hold and move the baton (called "forms"), and legend has it that if the holder follows the forms, he can overcome any challenge. With this discovery, the form craze spreads through Diamond City, and soon everybody is doing their best to master the moves.
Control
Sticking to the traditional WarioWare style of play, players can use the unique 20 abilities of the Wii Remote to chop barrels, turn levers, run races and more. The many orientations that one can hold the Wii remote will be in the gameplay, making it more difficult than ever before. While its predecessors traditionally had a single word or phrase as a hint for the next microgame, Smooth Moves will have a picture showing how you hold the remote in the microgame. This includes turning it on its side and pumping it up and down to inflate a balloon, swinging it in your arms to make a man run in a race, making a slashing motion to cut a barrel, turning it on its side and turn it in circles to turn a crank and placing it on the hips and wiggle to make a character use a hula-hoop.
Characters

It is unknown what their game types will be. While no information has been reported about them, artwork of Wario, Mona, and Ashley has been released. While artwork of 9-Volt has yet to be released, Goro Abe has confirmed that 9-Volt will host his usual set of Classic Nintendo themed micro-games. Nintendo has said that about 200 microgames will be included in the final game. According to the Nintendo Press Site, which is only available to the public by hacking, the game will use the Mii Channel greatly in this game.
