Iwata also confirms new Virtual Console Arcade platform A new WarioWare title has been sighted at GDC, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata once again lifting the lid on a new game via his keynote address at the industry bash.
WarioWare: Snapped will be crafted for the DSi handheld, and we're told it'll make use of the new handheld's camera, allowing players to record footage of play-time for viewing later.
In other - but related - news, Iwata-san also confirmed that the Virtual Console Arcade is on the way, and will be heading to the Wii console soon.
Initially Gaplus, Mappy, The Tower of Druaga and STARFORCE will be available on the new channel. As you might have guessed this new store is all about third-party classics, all titles costing 500 Wii Points for the moment.
