Nintendo has carried one of its most eccentric creative traditions — the frantic, laugh-inducing absurdity of WarioWare — into the personal space of the smartphone, using players' own photographs as the raw material for rapid-fire chaos. Released as a free-to-start mobile title called Pictonico!, the game represents less a product launch than a philosophical question: can the spirit of controlled strangeness survive on a platform built for distraction? It is Nintendo, once again, taking something familiar and introducing just enough weirdness to make you wonder why no one thought of it sooner.
