An exclusive new trailer and our first impressions I’ve long wondered why more game developers haven’t taken theWarioWareformat and stretched it out in any number of interesting directions beyond the basic idea of zany, chaotic, fast-moving “microgames” that are individually super disposable but ultimately add up to something hilarious and long-lasting. I just can’t get enough of Nintendo’s hijinks here, even in a year where weare getting a new entry. As such, I’m very intoSpookware, a morbid yet silly spin onWarioWarethat’sbuilt upon a road-trip adventure....

At the moment at least, for this particular bundle Just a few days ago we learned that Nintendo of Japan would be peddlinga new Switch bundle: one that would entice more households to pick up multiple units in a dockless format for roughly $50 less.

Speaking to USgamer, Nintendo explains that they have “no plans” to extend the bundle to other regions....
