Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



So you thought Nintendo's Bill Trinen looked nuts playing Rock N' Roll Climber? Forget that -- it's old news. The new hontesss for looking like a nutjob while playing a game is WarioWare: Snapped!

One of the first available games for Nintendo's DSiWare service, Snapped utilizes the consoles camera to capture your movements to complete WarioWare-style mini-games. Like shaking your head to dry off a miserable looking (but cute) puppy. It's a headache and a straight-jacket waiting to happen, but could be a bit of fun. 

Check out Trinen getting down and nasty with WarioWare: Snapped in our video after the jump.

I was skeptical about WarioWare: Snapped before, but now I'm totally sold.

Not only does this look retarded, but can you imagine doing it during the later levels when the minigames are going at rapid fire speed? You might have a heart attack or a headache at the very least.

Ha ha showing the pictures at the end of how you acted like a mong while playing is genius.

Hahaha, showing you how much of an ass you looked like while playing at the end is such a simple and small design choice but I think it might have sold me on the game. Of course, I'm not going to play it but it'll be fun laughing at the people that do.

Only if I could save the footage of my friend and show it to everyone I know, the cash is theirs, otherwise, I'll never play this game even though I owned and enjoyed every other warioware games.

Doesn't look good for a rumbling bus ride, but definitely cool.

Yeah I think the DSi will be my purchase. As soon I get a GBASP so Y am not with my GBA slot shenanigans.

Seems really touchy though. You have to be the precise distance away from the camera for it to detect properly. This reminds me of the frustration I had with Cooking Mama on the Wii, the precision required for that game just isn't possible with the Wii's control scheme.

But I'm just bitter because Cooking Mama is the prime example of false advertising since you never actually cook Mama.

I love WarioWare, so it pains me a little knowing that I won't be buying a DSi anytime soon, if at all.

The thing I don't like about this game is it seems that you need to set the system down on something to play it as it's meant. I don't think I'd dig playing a DS game with the system sitting on a counter/table and not in my hands, it just doesn't seem natural.

I wasn't buying it until it showed the replays at the end.

Hilarious.

I dunno still. I wasn't a huge fan of Touched!, nor a huge fan of Smooth Moves. These types of input aren't quite *fast* enough for a game like WarioWare. This one looks to be the worst in that respect. I'm afraid they will never match the brilliance of the original or Twisted!, but I hope they prove me wrong in that.
