Characters from microgame sets do not introduce any new microgames or any specific touch control, but they mix up microgames from previous employees as described.

In the European, Wii U Virtual Console, and 3DS versions, Mona Pizza cannot be unlocked, since players must have a copy of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', which was not released in Europe, and the game reads very specific data from said cartridge in the Game Boy Advance slot on the Nintendo DS to unlock it. However, it is still present in the game's data, and European players can still play the game if it is present in a copied save file of the game.

As with most ''WarioWare'' games, ''WarioWare: Touched!'' has undergone significant localization differences, which vary from different regional versions. Some changes are simple as a name change while others have complete graphical overhauls.

===Stages===

*The names in the skyscraper for Wario's stage is removed in the European version.

*In [[On Strike]], all three matchboxes are changed in the international versions.

*In [[Sweet Nothings]], the person on the left is replaced by a cat in the Korean version.

*The Japanese version has a microgame called [[Famicom Tantei Club 2]] in 9-Volt's microgame set. It is replaced by [[Metroid (WarioWare: Touched!)|Metroid]] in the international versions.

*In [[Gunslinger]], the music is played differently in the international versions compared to the Japanese version. The American, European, and Korean versions also remove the tutorial on the top screen, though the Simplified Chinese version keeps the tutorial from the top screen and the same music effects as the Japanese version.

Retrieved October 9, 2015.</ref> As with most ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' titles, it is praised for its addictive nature, its quirky and bizarre theme, the replayability and the intuitive use of the touchscreen and other features of the [[Nintendo DS]]. The most common criticism is that the game is very short, where it can be fully beaten within a few hours. IGN writer, Craig Harris, has mostly praised the game, who gave the game a score of 8.5 out of ten, but commented that ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' is a superior game to ''WarioWare: Touched!'' However, he ended by saying, "Wario Ware Touched!{{sic}} may be an incredibly brief experience, but it's still one of the top titles in the Nintendo DS library. At the very least it gives a great insight into gameplay ideas that the touchscreen and dual-screen handheld's capable of, even in these quick and extraordinarily brief five-second shots."<ref>Harris, Craig (February 11, 2005).

|Release

|align="left"|"''Intelligent Systems has crafted a worthy addition to the WarioWare legacy, with microgames as crazy as ever and making excellent use of the Nintendo DS' functionality. If it were not for a little bit of staleness setting in at times this would be perfect. As it is WarioWare proves to be one of the best of the launch line-up.''"
