Playing WarioWare Snapped! - 500 Points; Watching Iwata play WarioWare Snapped! - Priceless

If you've played WarioWare Snapped!, then you know by now that it will make you do things that you ordinarily would never be caught on camera doing. But WarioWare Snapped! changes all that, by taking pictures of you while you play through the various mini-games that utilize the DSi's built-in camera functionality.

And who better to show off the new DSiWare title, but Nintendo's own President and CEO, Satoru Iwata!

The video demonstrates Iwata lining himself up with the camera and completing several rounds of play - but the best is saved for last when the game replays his "behind the scene" actions to a catchy dance beat.

There is something oddly satisfying about watching someone act like a goof, especially when that someone is in a position of power. If you have yet to see this video, you are strongly encouraged to view it now, and have yourself a good laugh.

WarioWare Snapped! is one of several DSiWare launch titles, and costs 500 Nintendo Points to download in all territories.

I saw this a few days ago, and found it funny how even Iwata had a few minor camera problems from time to time.

Holy Crap! That was hilarious, not even leader of Nintendo can do this game right, just shows that the camera isn't everything.

LOL, yeah priceless!!!

The game itself doesn't seem that great to me, actually imho it seems funny for everyone but the person playing it, and the camera has some issues to be solved.

I actually considered buying it for a second there... then I saw how truly bad the camera was.

Maybe if Nintendo could fix a few things up, maybe add more games (maybe release is as retail?) then this game could be better.

The DSi hasn't been out 6 months... Give Nintendo a chance to optimize the camera software... Imagine if everyone judged the Wii Remote based off of Red Steel's horrid controls...
