Nintendo's Game & Wario finally gets Wii U release date

You can stop Mona about the wait.

Wii U mini-game compilation Game & Wario will arrive in the UK on 28th June, Nintendo has announced.

Designed by the WarioWare team, the collection includes 16 mini-games - 12 single-player and four multiplayer.

The bite-sized games are designed to highlight different uses for the touchscreen GamePad controller - as a camera to catch criminals within a crowd, for example, or a sketchpad in a game of virtual Pictionary.

You'll also be able to unlock over 200 toys to play with, each of which you can fiddle with via the GamePad.

Game & Wario was first announced alongside the Wii U and was originally set for release during the console's launch window. It's one of several Nintendo-published titles we've been waiting to hear release dates for - hopefully launch details for Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101 will follow.
