Mario Party Superstars performed very well, as expected, with 5.43 million sales since its October 29th launch. The other new title released in the quarter was Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain with 1.28 million sales since launching on December 3rd. Game Builder Garage managed to sell 1.01 million units while WarioWare: Get It Together!, which launched in September 2021, hit 1.24 million sales.

Sandwiched between the two is WarioWare: Get it Together!, which has also enjoyed an impressive debut in its own right, selling over 72,000 copies. The Nintendo Switch version of Ys 9: Monstrum Nox also launched last week, and debuted in ninth place, selling over 7,000 copies.

Meanwhile, on the hardware front, the Nintendo Switch continues to be the top seller, with over 67,000 units sold last week. The PS5 is the second-best performer, though it trails the Switch by quite a margin, having moved over 16,000 units over the course of the week.

In second place is Tales of Arise, Bandai Namco’s recently released and acclaims action RPG. It has sold more than twice as much at launch as fellow Bandai Namco action RPG Scarlet Nexus did when it launched earlier this year. 58% of Tales of Arise’s sales came on the PS5, 28% on the PS4, 13% on Xbox Series X/S, and 1 on PC. 

There are a couple more new releases charting high in the top 10. NBA 2K22, for instance, comes in at No. 3, which has sold about half of what NBA 2K21 did at launch last year, though that may, of course, be offset by digital sales. 46% of its sales are on PS5, 27% on PS4, 13% on Xbox One, 10% on Xbox Series X/S, and 2% on the Nintendo Switch. 

Finally, there’s also Life is Strange: True Colors, which debuts in sixth place with 54% of its copies sold on PS5, 28% on PS4, and 18% on Xbox Series X/S.

You can check out the full top 10 for the week ending September 11 below.

In what can probably be considered a Micro Launch trailer, a 30 second affair, we’re let known the game is out now. We get to see footage of various of the games and its loose collection of story vignettes of the characters of WarioWare getting sucked into a gaming handheld (which you can see more of both through here). In the short video, Wario also makes sure we know it’s his game, and he wants you to buy it at all costs. Check it out below.

WarioWare: Get it Together! is available now on Nintendo Switch. There is also still a demo available on the system if you want to try it out yourself.

Via the official Nintendo YouTube, we got a look at some co-op gameplay. As expected, the co-op aspect ends up creating a new layer of craziness, especially for minigames that your partner may not be prepared for. Speaking of, the video also has a few new minigames that we haven’t seen. You can check it out in full below.

WarioWare: Get It Together! will launch on the Switch September 10th. If you want to try it out yourself, there is also a demo available now.

The game will have over 200 unique microgames, each played with just a single analog stick and button. A few examples of these are shown in the trailer, and look like regular Wario stuff, which is good. Several playable characters will also be available, each with their own unique abilities and movement options. Local co-op is also supported, of course.

There’s also a story mode, as well as the Variety Pack, the latter of which will allow players to complete against each other in various microgames. Multiplayer will support up to four players. Meanwhile, there’s also Wario Cup, which will see challenges refreshing every week and players competing for high scores and fast times. Finally, there will also be plenty of cosmetic customization options for players to check out.

WarioWare: Get it Together! launches for Nintendo Switch on September 10. A free demo of the game is also available.

Each character has their own unique abilities, like Wario being able to hover around with a jetpack and attack in the direction he’s facing or 18-Volt who can fire projectiles and grapple onto objects. Over 200 microgames are included in the full release with some being based on popular Nintendo franchises like Animal Crossing.

There also options to play solo or co-op, the latter being possible either on the same console or through local wireless. WarioWare: Get It Together! releases on September 10th worldwide for the Switch. For a better understanding of the mechanics and gameplay, check out the overview trailer.

A story mode in WarioWare: Get It Together! will see Wario and/or a party of other characters completing a set of micro-games with a climactic boss fight at the end of the stage. Players are free to choose which of the distinct characters they’d want to play as.

There’s also a co-op mode, as showcased earlier as well, which allows 2 players to play locally. Since players have no control over which specific character in a party gets to play which micro-game, there’s also a level of randomness involved which provides longevity and replayability to the experience. WarioWare: Get It Together! comes out on October 10th, exclusively for the Switch.

WarioWare: Get It Together! seems to be more WarioWare, which isn’t a complaint by any means. New characters also make an appearance with abilities specifically curated for a whole new set of microgames. All in all, there are over 200 “quick and quirky microgames”, according to the game’s page on the official Nintendo website. In addition to this, the game also features 2 player co-op. WarioWare: Get It Together! launches on the Nintendo Switch on September 10 this year. Check out the trailer below for more details.

There’s still no confirmation on whether online co-op is supported, but more details are sure to be announced soon. A Bandai Namco event, as well as the E3 2021 awards, are slated for later today, so stay tuned for the latest updates.
