WarioWare: Touched!, known in Japan as Sawaru Made In Wario (さわるメイドインワリオ, Sawaru Meido in Wario^?) is a video game for the Nintendo DS. It has been regarded by game journalists as one of the games which best utilizes the features of the Nintendo DS, alongside others such as Kirby: Canvas Curse and Metroid Prime: Hunters.

The gameplay is similar to that of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, but microgames are only played using the stylus, touch screen, and microphone. Examples of microgames include scratching Wario's back, cutting a rope so a cage falls on a duck, and catching fish in a net. After successfully completing a number of microgames, smaller, mostly non-competitive "toys" are unlocked. These allow the gamer to use the touch-screen to achieve tasks, such as playing with a yo-yo (in which one must hold the DS upside down), or building a snowman.

The game is similar across regions. One of the major differences is the game cover, which is yellow for Europe [1] and in Japan.

[edit] Notes

When playing WarioWare: Touched! on the Nintendo DS with WarioWare: Twisted! inserted into the GBA slot, the player receives a special toy. The toy is a music video featuring Mona Pizza, similar to the Mona Pizza souvenir record in Twisted!
