If you loved the original Wario Ware Inc. Mega Microgame$ game for Game Boy Advance and GameCube, everyone’s favorite bad guy is back for more micro-game action! We just got in “Mawaru Made In Wario” (as it is known in Japan) for the GBA to help you get your Wario fix.

The game, much like its predecessor, has been critically acclaimed in Japan, including this story from 1up.com (you can catch the entire story here)

Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs today announced the prize winners in its eighth annual Media Art Festival, and Nintendo has walked away with the grand prize. Mawaru Made In Wario, the new mini-game collection powered by the Game Boy Advance tilt-sensor cartridge, took a top honor in the Entertainment category.

“Entertainment” is a catch-all grouping for anything that doesn’t fit in the competition’s other three categories, which cover comics, animation, and more traditional artforms. The new Wario game beat out some 202 submissions in the category, ranging from games to music videos to websites.

The Agency praised the game’s innovative design and ability to appeal to a wide range of players. Mawaru (coming stateside next spring as Wario Ware Twisted) features a broad selection of quick mini-games that are controlled solely by moving, spinning, and tilting the GBA.

We have a couple copies of this game in stock for you to get right now. It’s cool looking cartridge design allows you to control games through the twisting motions, only making your favorite old micro-games that much more challenging.

DS fans aren’t left in the dust either. Made In Wario Touched will soon be available again at Game Junkie for all of you DS players, and features a new array of micro-games specially designed for the touch screen and and other cool new Nintendo DS features. Our first shipment of the game was limited to only a single copy, but we should be restocking just after Christmas (and you can always pre-order too!)

Just another way that you can get great import games from Game Junkie and no where else!

There will be more to this blog entry later. For now, I will post these lyrics. Your homework assignment is to get the song and listen to it … the song has meaning to me, and the meaning came through this past few days.

Tell me you’ve had trouble sleeping
That you toss and turn from side to side
That it’s my face you’ve been seeing
In your dreams at night

Tell me that you wake up crying
And you’re not sure exactly why
Tell me that something is missing
In your life, in your life baby

[Chorus]
Tell me that you live for love
That forever is never enough
That you’ve waited all your life to see
That you want so badly to believe
Tell me that it’s not just me

I could have sworn I saw you smile at me
Standing in the poring rain
At a loss for words and running out of time
I said this crazy thing (crazy thing), I said

[Repeat Chorus]

Hold me now and tell me that you do believe
In a soul, a soul mate
And tell me, and tell me, tell me

[Repeat Chorus]
