WarioWare: Smooth Moves (おどるメイド イン ワリオ, Odoru Meido in Wario, Odoru Made in Wario in Japan, translating to "Dancing Made in Wario") is the latest in the WarioWare series of games, coming out for the Wii. It was first revealed in May 2006, via a TIME magazine article.[2] The game was shown in video form at Nintendo's 2006 Pre-E3 Press Conference, and playable in a demo at Nintendo's E3 booth that year, as well as at the 2006 Nintendo Fusion Tour. It is also worth noting that Smooth Moves is the first Wario Ware game to feature fully 3D graphics that are rendered to appear 2D.

Story

The hack sheet, obtainable through the Wii Press site[3], gives a story.

While wandering around his home of Diamond City, Wario accidentally stumbles into an old building called the Temple of Form. Inside, he finds a mystical treasure called the Form Baton. There are many ways to hold and move the baton (called "forms"), and legend has it that if the holder follows the forms, he can overcome any challenge. With this discovery, the form craze spreads through Diamond City, and soon everybody is doing their best to master the moves.

Control

Sticking to the traditional WarioWare style of play, players can use 15 unique applications of the Wii Remote to chop barrels, turn levers, run races and more. The many orientations that one can hold the Wii remote will be in the gameplay, making it more difficult than ever before. Games include turning the Wii remote on its side and pumping it up and down to inflate a balloon, swinging it in your arms to make a man run in a race, making a slashing motion to cut a barrel, turning it on its side and turn it in circles to turn a crank and placing it on the hips and wiggle to make a character use a hula-hoop.[4]
