WarioWare: Touched![a] is a minigame compilation party video game released by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. The fourth installment of the WarioWare series, and the first of three on the Nintendo DS, the game involves rapidly completing "microgames" — simple minigames lasting extremely short periods of time — as quickly as possible. The microgames are exclusively controlled with the Nintendo DS's touchscreen and microphone.
Developed by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo SPD and published worldwide by Nintendo, the game was developed simultaneously with WarioWare: Twisted! The game was created to utilize the touchscreen functions of the Nintendo DS. WarioWare: Touched! was released in December 2004 in Japan, in February 2005 in both North America and Australia and in March of the same year in Europe. Touched! was a launch title for the Japanese, Australian, and European markets.
The game was positively received upon its release, with reviewers praising it for its fast-paced gameplay akin to other WarioWare titles, but disappointed by its brevity. Touched! introduced recurring character Ashley to the series and used the touchscreen and microphone for the first time. Many of the microgames in Touched! reappeared in WarioWare Gold. The game was re-released on the Wii U Virtual Console service in 2015 and briefly on the Nintendo 3DS the following year. The North American and Australian box arts are colored orange, while the box art for all the other regions are colored yellow.
