WarioWare Gold’s official Japanese site has gone up, adding a new prologue video for the story, as well as short descriptions for several of the appearing characters.
Prologue:
Wario comes back from yet another globetrotting quest for treasure, only to find that he’s run out of money in the process. After watching a program on TV on how well a game called Super Pyoro is selling, he decides to hold a microgame competition in Diamond City. The entry fee is 10,000 coins, but the winner will potentially receive 10,000,000 coins. With his plan set, Wario calls up everyone he knows in order to help make more mega microgames.
