The "WarioWare" series has seen 8 releases since the franchise first debuted in 2003 on the Game Boy Advance; two of which are downloadable games that Nintendo hasn't released sales data for.

The downloadable "WarioWare" titles are as follows: "WarioWare: Snapped!" (2008) for the Nintendo DSiWare; and "WarioWare D.I.Y." (2010) for the Nintendo WiiWare.

Here's the sales data for all of the non-downloadable "WarioWare" titles:

"WarioWare: Smooth Moves" (Wii) is the best selling "WarioWare" game overall, and in the North American and European markets. Meanwhile "WarioWare Touched!" (DS) is the best selling "WarioWare" game in the Japanese market.

Oddly enough no sales data is available for "WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$" (GC) and "WarioWare: Twisted!" (GBA) in the North American market; both games wasn't released in the European market.

Here's some information about "WarioWare: Smooth Moves" via Nintendo:

Game Description: WarioWare's back with an idea so crazy, it could only be made with the latest technology: the Wii Remote™. When Wario™ stumbles upon a strange device called a Form Baton, he and his friends use it to learn new moves that are as fun as they are wacky. With hundreds of microgames, this game is just as wild as you'd expect from the name WarioWare, but the game play has been revolutionized. Under Wario's tutelage, and with the help of the Wii Remote, players swing, spin and squat their way to victory.
  • With more than 200 lightning-quick microgames and controls that range from scribbling to flailing, WarioWare: Smooth Moves takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. Players steer cars, twirl pizzas, saw logs and dance their way to victory. All they need to be the champ is confidence, a Wii Remote and their best moves.

  • With games that are as much fun to play as they are to WATCH people play, WarioWare: Smooth Moves brings the party to its feet. It's hilarious for players and audiences alike.

Game storyline: While pursuing a strange creature that stole his snack, Wario accidentally stumbles into an old building called the Temple of Form. Inside, he finds a mystical treasure called the Form Baton, which looks suspiciously like a Wii Remote. He discovers that the Form Baton gives him special powers depending on his "form" - the way he holds and moves the baton. Wario decides to pocket his new treasure, and soon the form craze spreads through Diamond City.

Characters: The cast from previous WarioWare games is back with new microgames. Besides Wario, Mona, Jimmy, 9-Volt, Orbulon, Dr. Crygor and the rest of the old crew, this title also features appearances by Master Mantis, Young Cricket, Penny Crygor and many more.

How to progress through the game: Players must clear fast-paced sets of microgames, changing the way they hold the controller each time. As they do, they'll unlock more stages and pose cards.

Special powers/weapons/moves/features:
1. The game's full-body controls add a whole new level of insanity to an already frenetic experience. Players use the Wii Remote for all the stages, and some stages also use the Nunchuk to play.

2. As is the case with other WarioWare titles, 9-Volt's stage features microgames based on classic Nintendo games. Nintendo fans will delight in new takes on old favorites.

3. Players' Mii™ characters make appearances in microgames and other areas.

4. There is a multiplayer mode where people can play using a single Wii Remote and Nunchuk™.

Opinions: What a sick rumor to start!

Via TMZ.com:

Sources connected with the "American Idol" negotiations tell TMZ Kara DioGuardi has judged her last contestant on "American Idol" -- because she's been fired.

We're told the show will be going back to a three-judge format and assuming all deals are finalized, the judge's panel will consist of Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.

First Ellen DeGeneres quits, and now Kara DioGuardi gets fired. I'm going to start watching this show again! DeGeneres and DioGuardi sucked. I'm glad that the producers are listening to fans!

Wow. Christina Aguilera has gone downhill lately. "Not Myself Tonight" is a failed attempt to compete with Lady GaGa... I never thought that I'd say this, but, GaGa is light years ahead of Aguilera in present time. "I know." So why the change Aguilera?

I'm out of character
I'm in rare form
And If you really knew me
You'd know its not the norm

-Christina Aguilera

Indeed. Aguilera screams so damn loud in this song my chalkboard is annoyed. This song plane sucks. Don't let the first 23 seconds fool you...
