A frantic, handheld-focused take on the microgame formula, this entry's rapid-fire challenges are controlled entirely with the DS's touchscreen. Touching, dragging, and flicking your way through seconds-long objectives is the core gameplay loop. The sheer variety and inventive use of the dual screens and stylus – from popping pimples to conducting an orchestra – made it a standout experience on the DS, offering a constant stream of bite-sized, addictive fun.

About WarioWare: Touched!

Details
Wario makes his debut on the Nintendo DS with hundreds of all-new minigames. Now you must complete your goals by using the touch screen and a stylus. Tap, scratch, and rub your stylus on the touch screen to play minigames that have you do everything from milking a cow and drawing a mustache to hurling stars at evil ninjas. You can even play some minigames by blowing into the DS's built-in microphone. The more minigames you clear, the more characters and items you unlock. The 3DS version was exclusively available for a few months in 2016 to My Nintendo members.
