A brand new WarioWare title — WarioWare: Move It! — was announced at yesterday's Nintendo Direct with an aptly-amusing trailer and some perfect wiggling by Yoshiaki Koizumi. The latest entry in the microgame series looks to be returning to the series' roots, and that's made even more clear by the game's title in Japan.
Twitter user Zalman pointed out online that WarioWare: Move It! in Japan directly references a previous game in the series — WarioWare Smooth Moves. Smooth Moves came out in 2006 on the Wii and it's one of the most beloved entries in the series.
In Japan, the new Switch game is called Chō Odoru Made in Wario, which roughly translates to Super Dancing Made in Wario, and Smooth Moves' Japanese title is simply Odoru Made in Wario or Dancing Made in Wario.
Super, then, makes Move It! sound like a direct follow-up or upgrade to Smooth Moves. And while Move It! definitely has the "move" link in the title, it's not as direct as Super Dancing, or even Super Smooth Moves.
This is the second WarioWare game coming to Switch. WarioWare: Get It Together! launched back in 2021, and while we loved it, it perhaps isn't considered a series high point for many microgame enthusiasts. You could play as multiple different characters each with their own unique ability, and platforming segments.
We're looking forward to WarioWare: Move It!, and even as fans of the last entry, a return to the simplicity of super quick microgames sounds like the perfect holiday season entertainment. The game launches on 3rd November for £39.99 / $49.99.

Smooth Moves was my introduction to the zany world of WarioWare back in the day as one of my first Wii games around that console's launch, so I was so stoked to see Move It in the direct! I didn't even need to be told it was a sequel to know it was a follow-up of sorts for SM since it visually has much of the same visual charm that the game had. I am absolutely picking this up day 1!
I suspect that they would have preferred to call it "Shake It" for the English version, but couldn't for obvious reasons.
It would be even better if it comes with some sort of fitness mode to round out the package.
Anyway, I'm ssssssssooooo freaking excited! Smooth Moves is one of my absolute favourite games of all time. Just so, so damn brilliant and so much fun at parties.
To think that we've had to wait 16 gruelling years for this.
In any case, I'm super grateful that we're getting a new WarioWare so soon after the last one. The series deserves all the love that it can get.
I like to move it move it! You like to move it move it! Not a Wario fan but I like his antics especially with Waluigi in tow.
I'm a HUGE WarioWare fan, and have owned everything bar the unreleased-over-here Twisted..
But going back to play Smooth Moves after my brain-surgery left me dizzy, unbalanced and I could barely play for more than 5 minutes without getting nauseous.
I hate to even consider this, but.. .. I might not buy this one!!
And that makes me so very very sad.
Can we please get a new Wario Land now?
@Jayenkai I love WarioWare too. I hope you have recovered will from surgery - things can change over time so maybe you can pick it back up. You didn't get Twisted over there? I love that one. That one gave us "Mona Pizza!"
I love Warioware Get it Together! For me...the best Warioware game....tied with the Warioware (Game Cube).
Smooth Moves is not the best but i like it so much.
I´ll buy this new one day-1 IF this game has a lot of multiplayer modes.
Yeah it was down to the motion sensor in it. (Was it Mercury based or something?)
Oh wow. I've been calling it Smooth Moves 2 on discord half jokingly!
Smooth Moves was mine and the boys' favorite party game in the Wii era. I'm so looking forward to this
The gameplay and aesthetics of the microgames already made it clear this is like Smooth Moves. Between this and Super Mario RPG, November will be an epic month! It helps that I've enjoyed playing Mega Microgame$ again on NSO lately.
I really don't get the dislike for Get It Together other than the fact that it's the hardest WarioWare game by far. It's my second favorite WarioWare behind Gold. Twisted is also fantastic and it's a massive shame Europe missed out on that one. It's one of the best!
I loved the new gameplay that Get It Together introduced, but I'm honestly even more excited to see "classic" WarioWare back. Let's go!
Already preordered it, love WarioWare in general and loved the original Smooth Moves so there's no way I wouldn't get this one, too!
It clearly looked like a more "traditional" (a funny word to apply to the series) WarioWare game, but it's nice to see confirmation.
Huge household fans of Smooth Moves here.. Insta-download.
I was worried a smooth moves sequel with just an extra controller would be too redundant, but seeing how it ties into new assymentrical movement has me really excited! Just like GiT I can't wait to play this
I ironically just finished WarioWare: Get It Together! over the weekend. I enjoyed that title, though I was never fully sold on its "playable characters" gimmick. Still plenty of fun though.
Definitely looking forward to this, especially since it's more or less confirmed as a Smooth Moves sequel. That one is tied with WarioWare Gold as my fave WW entry.
I still prefer the Wario Land series overall though.
@Jayenkai aw man that’s stinks. Hope you get better.
No Pro Controller compatibility? No thanks.
“WarioWare- MOVE IT!” I say as I shove somebody who walked in front of the TV and made me lose a microgame.
Can’t believe we’re getting a sequel to peak WarioWare but I’m glad Nintendo is seemingly getting some creativity back ever since some pretty mediocre releases last year. Get It Together! is great but this will be even better.
@MirrorFate2 Just saw the controller in half, I’m sure it’ll work 😉
I'll probably pick this up as I'm a WarioWare fan and it looks like what WarioWare should be. I was very disappointed in Get It Together and ended up giving it away as I just didn't find it fun.
Smooth Moves was fantastic, but this unfortunately looks like it's just a poor man's Smooth Moves (with the Switch's vestigial motion controls). I'm hopeful that it's better than that, but I'll wait to see how it reviews. It can't be another Snapped.
