The next Wario Ware for the DSi is suppose to allow user created content. According to the Japanese Wii Nintendo Channel, users are allowed to create their own minigames via a Mario Paint program and combine them together. Allowing you to customize everything from the art, music and even where to tap something on the screen. This looks promising and daunting at the same time. As a fan of Mario paint I can’t wait to play it. What do you guys think about Mario Paint and user created content in general? Do you find it easy to make or do you not even mess around with it?

Ever since the DSi was announced Nintendo Fans have been asking themselves if they really wanted to upgrade.  The question hangs heavy, because while there are new features such as SD card support, a larger screen, and the heavily touted camera, it seems to pretty much be the same old DS – not appearing to be much smaller, more powerful, or significantly superior in any standalone way.  That leaves one question – what is the software like?  Hardware is supported by software, and until we see DSi only software, why should we upgrade?  This week Nintendo showed three WiiWare titles at GDC – and while I admit they were interesting, I can’t yet say that they justify upgrading to the new handheld.

If you’ve been wondering what kind of games to expect out of the DSi and it’s twin cameras,  Pay attention.  Nintendo President Satoru Iwata gave us a hint last week when he announced WarioWare: Photograph for DsiWare:

Iwata revealed that Nintendo is prepping a slate of WarioWare titles for release as downloadable DSiWare games. A variety of minigames from the Game Boy Advance and DS installments of WarioWare will be sold as DSiWare titles, and some original games making use of the system’s camera functionality will be packaged together as WarioWare: Photograph.

Iwata said that for WarioWare: Photograph, players will place the DSi on a table and then step back so their silhouette appears onscreen (thanks to the camera implanted in the system’s hinges). Simply moving their bodies will allow players to complete simple activities. One nose-picking minigame shown called for players to line up their extended fingers with a pair of floating nostrils. WarioWare: Photograph is scheduled for release in late December, around the time the DSiWare store goes live.

Iwata also mentioned a new DS Leacy title that will allow players to create their own mini games. Check out the writeup at Gamespot for more.
