Could the title refer to getting fat? Maybe Wario is getting fatter from making so much money off his games?

i demand all new fresh games, no rehashs, more multi and NO connectivity to GC to unlock 'secret' games.

I would be rather surprised if this happens. I just expect another Mario Party type deal. Unless they great and amazing new add on for the GBA like the touch screen for the DS...

sadly i think you will be proved right Darth.
Warioware, ironically, will turn into a dulled rehash franchise with incremental numbers after the title

Actually there seems to be a lot of Japanese GBA announcements/confirmations recently...drohne said:
-Pokemon Emerald Version
-Ma-Wa-Ru Made in Wario
-Custom Robo GX2
-F-Zero Climax
-Mother 3
-Donkey Kong: King of Swing
-Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
-Super Mario Ball
-Mario Party Advance
-Legend of Starfi 3
-Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki
-Famicom Mini Series 3
i think all of the following are being developed outside nintendo:
-F-Zero Climax (the last gba game was outsourced, wasn't it?)
-Donkey Kong: King of Swing (someone mentioned in the super mario ball thread that this isn't developed by nintendo)
-Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (capcom)
-Super Mario Ball (fuse entertainment)
-Mario Party Advance (probably hudson)
-Legend of Starfi 3 (nintendo didn't actually develop any of the starfi games, did they?)
seems like nintendo are focusing on ds and outsourcing most of their gba stuff. it also probably hurts gba that intelligent systems are doing so much gamecube work.

It'll be worth it, IS has given plenty of love to GBA already, and paper mario 2 looks fantastic
They're still making a new Fire emblem on GBA though. Either IS got bigger this gen and got more budget (i would thank god for that) or they're getting pretty damn efficient. Either way, more IS games = me happy

Wario Ware is not Mario Party. Remember we're talking about two completely different dev teams. Hudson is known to just build a series into the double digits with sequels. Mario Party will easily make it to 10 judging from their Densha and Bomberman series. Wario Ware is an inside job from Nintendo's uber-talented team designers. If it is a sequel chances are high that it'll be plenty unique.DarthWufei said:

I agree. MP5 was by far the best in the series. It is hard to go back and even play 4, which we played the ass out of, after playing 5.Deg said:

Explain that to the gamecube. I honestly, don't see how they can really take it far. I'm not saying I don't have my hopes, I want to be surprised. But I'm not going to be surprised by a let down either.
It was done by Suzac, who's a Nintendo subsidiary.drohne said:
Yep it's being done by Paon (whoever that is).drohne said:
Nope, they're produced by R&D1 and developed by Tose Software (who also handled the excellent Slime Morimori, DQM series, Virtua Quest and a ton of other games.drohne said:
Sure, I'm just surprised at all the recent GBA announcements after E3 was sort of empty GBA wise.drohne said:
I agree here. If I don't get Advance Wars 3, heads will roll...drohne said:
noa would have plenty of gba software if they'd just go back and localize the kururin, fire emblem, mother, and starfi games they left in japan. :/ i'm not counting on it, though.
sort of unrelated, but i really want klonoa g2 and klonoa heroes as well. gba imports are relatively too expensive to buy often.

I agree, and ToP. So many older GBA games have been completely forgotten.

Sweet! Ive had more fun with Wario Ware than most other games this gen. Glad to have another one for GBA, and not just DS.

My penis is still intact.
It strikes me as very strange that Nintendo would releae this around the same time as the DS launch. Surely it takes away a large part of the DS's appeal, that being a new Wario Ware game.
I realise the DS game will be different because of the stylus, and maybe it'll be worth buying both, but I'm not sure if the general public will see that.
Perhaps the GBA game will be quite different than what we expect.

Just one of those myriad outsource type companies who do a lot of the work behind the scenes and don't get much of credit for the fruits of their labor.
So far they've done work on some wrestlers -- The Wild Rings, Fire Pro Z -- but also some stuff for Doko Demo Issyo, and (here comes a mouthful) Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu: Otoko Hanamichi Yume Roman for PS2, the latest iteration of a semi racing game along the lines of Sega's 18 Wheeler, only with more of an emphasis on totally pimping up and tricking out your sweet ride.
Not sure exactly what was done for each, more research and translation is in order, but you can check out their TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME website at http://www.paon.co.jp/

The Mother series definitely needs to be localized. Hopefully Mother 3 is, since it looks like Mother I+II on GBA will not be.
I'm actually rather shocked that Nintendo never bothered localizing any of the Stafi games... nice graphics, cute mascot, seems a perfect fit for the US GBA audience... From what I heard about the TOP GBA port, it's best left in Japan I already own the SFC and PSX versions, so I don't really need a version with worse music and more bugs in it TOS and TOPPSX are fighting for the best game in that series. I never really liked the Mother games (duck) but I agree that they should be translated, remember, this isn't 1991 anymore, RPGs sell.

Wario Ware being released on both at the same time is really quite odd...F-Zero is the same thing, really. So odd to see these big franchises popping up all over the place for GBA, when we'd expect them for DS at this point.
I'll expect to see Wario Ware 2 differ from the original in some ways, and from the DS Title. We'll see...I also fully expect full on multiplayer in the DS Version, while they may leave it out of the GBA one.
GBA is getting King of Swing...maybe DS will get Donkey konga. It's got room for two bongos, and as long as you play it while on a table you can even clap!

I'm going out on a limb. Wario Ware is the best handheld game ever made. When considering its function and platform.
