If you’ve ever wanted to be a game designer, see your friends and family playing games that you created, your chance comes this week as WarioWare: Do It Yourself, launches for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi, featuring more than 90 microgames to play and, best of all, the ability to create and share your own!Each microgame lasts no more than ten tantalising seconds – see how many you can clear in succession. Or let your imagination run wild and design your own microgame from scratch. You are in control of graphics, animation, music and rules, meaning there’s no limit to the number and variety of your creations.
Tutorials clearly explain how to turn an original idea into a fun, fully working microgame. With practice, you’ll be able to create more complex and challenging games to test your friends!
Nintendo is holding regular contests each month for users to create and upload their own microgame relating to a certain theme. These entries will be judged by Nintendo and the winning games will be available for download the following month.
WarioWare: Do It Yourself also lets you draw four-panel black and white comics, and to create your own music, either by using the 90 sample songs as a guide or by drawing on your own creativity.
