WarioWare and Wii win toy fair award
Nintendo of Europe has won a ´Toy Award´ at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg for both the Wii console and ´WarioWare: Smooth Moves´.
The combination of hardware and software won in the category ´Trend + Lifestyle´ out of a total of 223 new products by 163 manufacturers that are presented at the show. There are 8 categories in total.
Here is the official statement by the jury. They were probably having too much fun playing the game to spell its name correctly.
The jury selected the “Wario Wear: Smooth MovesTM” game together with the console from Nintendo; here the player dances, boxes and jumps through 200 crazy microgames. Fast reactions and smooth movements are called for.
The jury chose the product because the play concept of Wii tends to encourage playing PC games in groups instead of alone. In addition, the product not only appeals to player types with an affinity to PCs, but also to new age groups – a real lifestyle theme. The innovative controller – for more fun and movement – and the “Wario WearTM: Smooth Moves” represents a return to the more classic games in the game console segment.
The award will be presented tomorrow. Winners are allowed to print the ´ToyInnovation quality label´ onto the product. Obviously, there is also some significant media coverage involved.
The fair officially opens its gates on February 1st.

You need to go through long distances sometimes, making you buy a lot of Teleport scrolls with your Rose zuly just to go to the cities. The quests are OK and have a good storyline so far, and you will gain a good amount of experience by grinding and rose zulie too. Something I liked in this game was the nice design of the clothes can have from rose online zuly. There also armor also can gain from rose online zulie sets that can be wore by any class. Another nice thing that I would like to talk about, is that you can have nice Arua ROSE zuly in ROSE Online.
