I'm a big fan of the WarioWare games, if only for the fact that they are incredibly strange (and remind me a little bit of Rhythm Tengoku). Imagine my delight, then, to hear that Nintendo has plenty of WarioWare coming to the DSi's downloadable service in the near future. This would be terrific news if in fact I planned to buy a DSi, which I do not, but still, I'm happy to hear it in that "some friends are getting married that you kind of know and had drinks with a few times" kind of way.
In addition to the rerelease of some of the minigames from the GBA and DS installments, there will be a new DSi-specific title called WarioWare: Photograph. From Gamespot UK:
Iwata said that for WarioWare: Photograph, players will place the DSi on a table and then step back so their silhouette appears on-screen (thanks to the camera implanted in the system's hinges). Simply moving their bodies will allow players to complete simple activities. One nose-picking minigame shown called for a player to line up their extended fingers with a pair of floating nostrils. WarioWare: Photograph is scheduled for release in late December, around the time the DSiWare store goes live.
Good to hear that the fixation on nose picking has not waned. Don't feel left out if you have no plans to buy a DSi: WarioWare Myself was also announced for the DS, in which players can create their own minigames and share them with other players. A WiiWare version of the game is in the works too, but it seems that it will not feature the creation tool. Oh well, back to the DS!
We'll keep you posted on prices and release dates as soon as we know more, but I have to say that the minigames I would make will make WarioWare's weirdest look like child's play. I can't wait to inflict them on other people!

The thing has a 4 hour battery life to support features you really weren't asking for.
It still has no GBA slot.
It still has Friend Codes.
It's still region locked.
It's basically still a big bag of problems that I don't want to mess with. Everything I'd ever want in the DS is perfected already in the DS lite. Would I want bigger screens? Sure, but I wouldn't want a 4 hour battery as my tradeoff for taking a bigger screen.
I didn't need the DSi to be thinner or lighter either. They seem to fixate on the new versions to have them be lighter and thinner constantly. Look at the iPod series for pete's sake. How thin does that shit need to be? Was the fact that your DS lite weighs a quarter pound just breaking your arm in two to hold it in your lap for 30 minutes? If your arm can't support the DS lite for more than 30 minutes at a time, for pete's sake, don't get a Wii or an Xbox 360 controllers. The 360's controller is like TWICE as heavy as a DS lite. You wouldn't last more than 10 minutes.
Now I need a DS-i for this game...
For god sakes did you not read the damn article? They have 3 different WarioWare games coming out one for DSiWare, one for WiiWare, and one for retail DS. So you can get any of them that you want.
Of course the DSiWare one is exclusive to the DSi because it uses the camera. If you don't want a DSi than to bad for you. That just means you miss out on the downloadable one for the DSi, but you still have the two other options!
Seriously though, the EyeToy blows (and so will this game). Only once they actually made a GOOD quality camera (PS Eye) for PS3 did it actually become somewhat decent.
I mean, this game basically FORCES you to play at home on a table and there probably has to be some pretty substancial lighting.
There's a ton of good WarioWare games out already and I don't think anyone would dispute that they're going downhill over time. Go back and play the GOOD ones. Stop encouraging Nintendo to rehash everything.
