WarioWorld.com was a site used by Nintendo of America for many years as a hub for developers and publishers. The image below details its history and surprising usage of the name "WarioWorld" before the game of that name, as well as connecting Wario to game development before the WarioWare series.

In 1997, Nintendo of America registered the domain warioworld.com to serve as a hub for developers and publishers working with Nintendo hardware. Very little is known about how the site looked, as the only publicly available page was the login page, and all other pages were only accessible to registered members. The site was revamped in early 2016 - From then onward, the URL redirects to Nintendo's current developer portal, developer.nintendo.com. What is bizarre about the site is the choice of Wario as a mascot and Wario World as the name. While this makes sense in retrospect: Wario World is a real game, and Wario is a game developer in the WarioWare series, neither of those existed in 1997, with both Wario World and the first WarioWare only releasing in 2003. It is exceedingly unlikely either of these games were even in the concept stage at that point, possibly making the site's name and mascot an incredible coincidence that predicted two separate games years before release.
