AI as a WarioWare story theme?

This could definitely be a cool direction. Would really fit WarioWare's running bag of Wario being a greedy jerk and getting punished for it. As long as the assets of the microgames aren't actually AI.

It's Nintendo, they basically never use AI (I think they asked that company to take down the Galaxy Time marketing site for the Mario Galaxy Movie because it previously used AI for example)

Finally I hear a good information about Nintendo's practices, it's been pretty scarce recently.
 
I would honestly find a WarioWare story suddenly featuring generative AI to be both quite immersion breaking, and a sad reminder of how far small devs have fallen in the real world. But naturally, not everyone will see this story that way. Again, so long as the microgames are the same real dev talent we all know and love.

After all, this is the same devs who introduced their Contact Us section on the WarioWare website at the height of the gen AI bubble, and could have easily made it a drohl chatbot.
 
We DO have a Wario Ware story around an AI in Get it Together. That whole idea of the game becoming sentient and trapping everyone inside it was fun and made for a memorable opening cutscene.

I also agree it would make sense for Wario as a character to make use of gen-AI for quick profit, but I'd imagine it more as something that happened off-screen between games. Doing a whole game around gen-AI would feel reactionary and date it forever. Just imagine if they made one about the NFT craze.

Oh fair point I guess. Get It Together does have a rogue AI of sorts as the villain due to Wario's idiocy as a programmer.

And yeah I guess that's true. Nintendo tends not to want to date their games too much, hence a lack of references to real life events and culture.
