Comment

"WarioWare: Twisted" was developed with the ideas of each staff to create something to make players laugh, astonish and enjoy, and they all devoted themselves to accomplish this. We all the staff are very proud that this toy-box, filled with such ideas, got high recognition from the judge. We are delighted if people cherish this toy for a long time.

Reason for Award

The rotation sensor installed in the game cartridge has changed this gaming device itself into a completely different playing tool. The innovative idea of the work was evaluated highly. The superb combination of the sensor, vibration element, and clicking sound promote a virtual reality experience. By realizing the analog dial operating system, it provides a simple game that everyone can easily play. The presentation is also pop, happy, and fun. In spite of an increased tendency towards major works, it is an elegant product with ingenuity and originality.
