Happy Mothers' Day from WarioWare, Inc. Who else but 5-Volt to headline it? Given that WarioWare has no father figures, you might be surprised who will be leading Fathers' Day.

Well, well, I've hit the jackpot. I've found the JSON file that defines all the event text. https://www.nintendo.com/jp/character/wario/assets/json/contact.json Here's what I have gathered from it: Each event has a month and day attached to it... but strangely, does not even attempt to emulate...

Children's Day indeed exists (internal name childrens_day). For posterity, here's what I saw for Greenery Day, the day before. I was able to corroborate the existence of these events, although not with their text...

This rather shouty Reddit post has archived Coming of Age Day, featuring everyone's favourite singer-scientist Penny. This one is called "coming_of_age_day" internally, and was what led to me decompiling the website to find the other internal names actually.

While I haven't found the code that actually implements which day gets shown, I have found in the CSS file some events. I'll be leaving out the standard month days, whose internal names are all... well, the month in all lowercase letters. All pictures for the events are stored at, for example...

If it's Intelligent Systems, it would be hilarious if it completed the Fire Emblem canonisation process WarioWare is going through and designed one of the characters to look like Marianne or something but in the Rhythm Heaven artstyle. /s In all seriousness however, my hope for Groove would be...

Unfortunately, economic reality (not just in the US) has made affordable Switch 2s a pipe dream. Australia has probably got it... not so bad, general electronics prices notwithstanding, so I'm hoping for a MKW bundle to fit in my budget. Also, the virtual game cards are an opt in thing. If...

Apologies for not including the link for reference initially. Here it is: Nintendo Switch games compatibility

None of the Joy Con 2 support the IR camera, which rules out all the Hand Model microgames. Interestingly, the compatibility section lists Move It under the "Games that require Nintendo Switch Joy-Con to play"... but specifically mentions that "it's only possible to play microgames that use...

You certainly got the Rhythm Heaven part of that in Groove, at least. What I wonder though is who primarily developed the game. TNX is mentioned as a codeveloper, but it doesn't seem to actually be a game dev company. Intelligent Systems isn't mentioned on the copyright either, but WarioWare...

The last time any Wario game was a launch title was WarioWare: Smooth Moves for the Wii. It would be quite neat if, to demo the mouse Joy-Con, a WarioWare also served as a launch title, but that doesn't seem too likely given Move It! only released two years ago.

I'm starting this as a general thread where we can track just how "classic" Nintendo Classics are in each WarioWare. While the R&D1 developers of Mega Microgames! never intended to feature anything truly from its era, over time the games have reached more and more into newer games... to the...

To add to this, if she returns as a full-fledged microgame host, I think she'd be a good fit for the Fantasy genre, although with WarioWare's ever-proliferating choice of hosts vying for the spotlight I do wonder if she's best served being combined with Dribble and Spitz... maybe as their first...

Tsunku's cancer struggles culminating with permanent loss of his voice certainly did not help matters, either. That said, the occasional WarioWare redraw of Rhythm Heaven characters is at least something rather than nothing.

Interestingly, a different page than what Internet Archive saved for January 31, 2024. That could mean that the text is unique to this year and we won't get reruns of anything we've missed... or the website already considered it February at that time. I'm hoping that it'll be a loop so that we...
