Nintendo’s Fart Fixation

Nintendo loves farts, and it would very much like you to know it. That’s right! Farts! The flatulence in question is tied to the upcoming Game & Wario, a Wii U game that very few people seem to care about.


Disappointing Game & Wario ‘Crowdfarter’ Campaign Lacks Actual Farts

I’m just saying. I’M JUST SAYING. If you’re going to call the promotional campaign for your game a “Crowdfarter” and talk ceaselessly about farts, said promotional campaign had best feature some actual flatulence. In that respect, Game & Wario‘s goofy new promotional campaign is a disappointment.


That Time Wario Made A Deal With Satan, And Mario Went To Hell

Nintendo Power in the US had a monthly comic called Howard & Nester. It was, with one exception, totally kid-friendly. Fairy floss and rainbows.


That Wario, He’s A Riot

Some pretty damn amazing street art showing Wario doing what he does best: namely, be a giant pain in the arse.


My, Wario, You’re Looking… Steroid-Riddled

Wario and Mario go face-to-face in this epic confrontation between two giant ridiculously muscular dudes with wonderful moustaches.


Wario Shows Us Some Creative Things The Wii U Controller Can Do

Leave it to Mario’s evil doppelganger to demonstrate the innovative potential of a new piece of hardware. As you can see from this video we shot of Game & Wario at E3 this week, Wario and his friends do a nice job showing off some of the unique ways you can use the Wii U’s GamePad controller to play games. Seriously, Nintendo, why the hell wasn’t any of this in your press briefing?


Nintendo Didn’t Show This Wario Game, But Maybe It Should Have

The 3DS excepted, new Nintendo hardware launches over the last decade or so have almost been defined by the Wario games released at or near their launch. Combining quirky mechanics with an almost requirement to play them socially, they do as good a job of any game of making the most of a system’s unique capabilities.


Wario Helps Show This Developer The Money

Tiburcio de la Cárcova, co-founder of social games studio Atakama Labs, doesn’t sell things at a cash register. His games go out over the internet. Meaning a sale isn’t as satisfying as seeing cash in the hand!

So he built this awesome Wario Robot (with help from his daughter!) to help make everything seem a little more real. Programmed to check his company’s store once a minute, every time the robot detects a sale, it reacts. So Tiburcio can be cooking some dinner, and ding, he knows he’s made money. Doing the laundry, ding, more money. Brushing his teeth, ding, hey, more money.

Nintendo’s Bamboo-Walled, Flower-Roofed Headquarters

With corridors made of bamboo, a roof layered with flowering sedum plants and buildings named after Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Wario, Nintendo’s new Redmond headquarters sounds every bit as fanciful as the games the publisher makes.


WarioCaptures the essence of the man better than any minigame, kart racer or platformer ever could.
