When did full games become "Mini-games"?
I' currently playing Zelda:WW. NOw on windfall island there is a place where you play a kind of mine-sweepish game. Well it got me thinking, at one time a game like that was a $40 worthy title.
So at what point did games like mine-sweep and Pac-man and space invaders become known as mini-games?
I am in fact the guy that made the Raisins prototype worth thousands less by dumping it. "D'oh!!"
That's Battleship! actually. I think when Mario All-Star's came out.. Here were several high dollar and fun games on one cart.. The "Bonus" game was SMB 2-JAP
Fear your thoughts because they become your words
Fear your words because they become your actions
Fear your actions because they become your habits
Fear your habits because they become your character
Fear your character because it becomes your destiny
Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.
Check out Made in Wario (for GBA). THEN you'll see EVERYTHING made into a minigame.. Even F-Zero, Zelda and Punchout!And lots of other types of games including a pacmanish type game, space shooters, Game & Watch, Cellphone games, etc. (w/ appropriate GB, SNES, or whatever graphics) convienently made into 2 second minigames.
I think for the U.S. release it will be called Wario Ware however.... and I suspect it might be censored as well..

Wow. I just checked out Wario Ware and I have a feeling this will be the first time I buy a game on release date.... ever! I was interested at first but decided I had to have this game when I read about the Virtual Boy mini-game! Yowza!
So, what do you think would be censored?
Oh, and sorry to hiack your thread brandver
Sly Cooper has this in it too. There is a robotron type mini game and a crossbow sort of mini game.
It breaks up the gameplay and works well.
GET OUT OF THE WALLS CHEATER!!!
@Keir to the nth power. Like there's this section where you're running from the cops and are throwing bananas at them to knock their cars out. I'm pretty sure that will be frowned on in the U.S. :P
Then there's some mini games like a bidet stage where a guys trying to take a crap, or Wario ordering a Beer. Then there's this one Samurai stage where it's entirely in japanese and shows a lady tied up hanging from the ceiling.. even the background song is some kind of somber lady singing in Jap (great sound effects btw).. So who knows if they'll keep all this stuff or not. We'll see.
