<p>Wario’s hijacked the eShop, Nintendo’s <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1025419318920544256">Twitter account</a> and even issued his own press release in celebration of <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds/warioware_gold"><strong>WarioWare Gold</strong></a> arriving on the 3DS. Overall, it’s been an effective way of reminding everyone games are still actually being released on the system. </p>
<p>Now, website Gaming Reinvented reports an equally as naughty dataminer has uncovered unused content in Wario’s new game in the form of an early version of Penny’s intro cutscene. There are a series of early sketches by the game’s character designer, Ko Takeuchi, that have been improved upon as development progressed. </p>

<p>A video has also been released illustrating what the hand-drawn sketches look like in motion: </p>

<p>It’s surprising how content such as this has been discovered so soon in a new release when earlier this week we heard about the <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/07/video_lbeta_version_of_bowserrs_castle_uncovered_in_mario_kart_wii">existence</a> of a beta version of Bowser’s Castle in <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wii/mario_kart_wii"><strong>Mario Kart Wii</strong></a> that took a decade to reveal. </p>
