Wii & "Wario Wear" win International Toy Fair award

Somehow, I actually prefer the fluorescent pink to the bile yellow. Who would imagine the pink could be the better of two choices?

bile yellow reminds me of urine

The yellow is very ugly... what gives???

I barely know what it is like to play games in groups of people. When I have people over, we drink beer, play cards, BS, listen to music, watch movies/TV, etc. Games are for when I am alone and there is nothing to do.

fawazr, drink more water.

Jake, wii is a ton of fun to play while drinking with friends. Since its launch, it has replaced many other activities.

Couldnt they at least choose something that was multi-player... Wario Ware plays one at a time.

Actually, this is VERY good for Nintendo.

I for one would put that label on the box. It's a good sign to the customers.
Ok, it might be seen as a little bit more 'kiddy' but it also is a sign of innovation and newness in the branche.

Well, it's cool nontheless it got rewarded. I think this'll never happen to one of the other consoles. If they were even looked at.
If the other consoles had a chance, one of them would have won one several years ago methinks.

And to that color, it's a much brighter yellow, just a normal yellow. I don't know why the box in that picture seems so 'urine'-like yellow, but I own the game at home, and it is a bright yellow, nothing like that!

Doesn't mean it's not multi-player... When the game is played by multiple players... duh!

And Joystiq... Wario "Wear"? I really thought there was some sort of clothing involved.

Oh and it's hot pink, at least in this part of the U.S.

It is multiplayer. That's what you call a game when multiple people are playing it...

This award confirms my belief that the Wii is a toy and not a console.

In yet another incorrect statement, Fred T. states that multiplayer must mean simultaneous playing and not turned based play.

a) there are a couple minigames that are played by two people simultaneously.
b) Using that logic, checkers wouldn't be a multiplayer game.

That joke doesn't make sense, they wrote "new age groups" right. It'd need to be "new-age groups" to be yogish, bitches!!

dont be jealous now, wizard poop.

@ 12

How is it living in your moms basement playing Halo alone in the dark and crying yourself to sleep? I choose Warioware, friends and healthy living over Halo (or Madden, makes no diff) and bed sores.

wizard poop When the Wii outsells both the PS3 and 360 then we will see what is truely a toy.

@12: A console should be a toy. You should play with it, so what else would it be? I think that is a self-evident truth, but one which we somehow lost sight of during the PlayStation-dominated era.

@2,3,7 & 8: The game actually is that colour here in Europe. The DS version also came in a different colour to the US release. God knows why.

@ 6
Wow man that was almost not negative... almost.

It's called Wario Ware not Wear.

Aren't all console basically toys (when you are not using them for playing music, checking the weather, or viewing Blu-Ray movies)? I don't see them as anything more than things I play with to have some fun in my free time.

I just p00ped in my Wariowear.

@ 19 & FYI: Notice the quotes "Wario Wear". In one instance of that actual article that's what it says.

Geo,

I don't have people over enough to pay $300 for something we might enjoy drinking to more than cards. I doubt most of my friends would like it; they're not gamers. If Nintendo gets enough "traditional" games like Mario, Metroid, Rogue Squadron, etc. I may get one for games I can enjoy myself; then a party game would be a nice bonus to try out.

I do have another group of friends that I go party with a lot where one of them is getting a Wii soon, allegedly. Then I can get a good field study at how it works with different people in a party atmosphere. In my experience with Wii gaming with friends, WiiSports is really fun and WarioWare is considered super-gay by all but one of us (though it is amusing watching that kid play, in kind of a we're laughing at you not with you kind of way).

You have to understand, though, that I am from a carpenter class of manly men. We don't play games like WarioWare. Bowling, Tennis, Golf...Sure. Hoola Hooping...not very fun. My rule of thumb is if something isn't fun or exciting or interesting in real life, I probably won't enjoy a game about it. Kind of like a cooking game. I cook every night, why would I want a game about it?

We play poker and I bring the Wii to my friends house for the "losers". It sucks waiting for another game to start so people start bowliing and crap in between. Its actually a good thing, people really like the wii because its fun. Wether its Blunts, Fourties, or straight edge water drinking the wii is fun for all. I don't see how you couldn't have fun playing it unless you were initally jaded through you'r own "Teh Kiddy" opinion. There isn't one kid or adult that didn't have fun playing the wii that I have come across. That includes a ton of people here at my dorm who are between 18 and 30 years old. Its a fun system and hopefully you wont shy away from it. Wii has single player games too so its fun either way.
