What is the name of this Nintendo Switch game?

I was recently at a party where there was a Nintendo Switch game being played. The idea was that there were two teams of two players each: The "Salad Fork Team" and the "Dessert Spoon Team". The teams took turns playing. On a team's turn, both players had to stand up and direct the game events with body movements. The thing is, only one player's movements actually affected the game, and the opposing team had to guess which player it was.

Does anyone know the name of this game? JIP | Talk 12:58, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's WarioWare: Move It!. Oftentimes you can find things like this by googling phrases from the work "in quotes". Here the team names were listed on a fan wiki. HansVonStuttgart (talk) 08:03, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paralympics / music

Hi! Someone knows name of the french pop song playing at the parade, when Congo and some other passing by the camera? // Zquid (talk) 18:57, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a link? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:54, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only from swedish television, and I don't know if you can watch it outside Sweden. But here i is: [1]. 44 min from the start - we see athletes from China, (then Cyprus, Colombia, Congo...) and the song starts. // Zquid (talk) 18:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got help! It was this song: [2] :-) // Zquid (talk) 18:40, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

World War II travel restrictions in the United States

The 1942 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the 1943 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, and the 1944 Major League Baseball All-Star Game were played during US involvement in World War II, but the 1945 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was cancelled due to wartime travel restrictions. What additional travel restrictions were imposed in the last year of the war? Nyttend (talk) 23:00, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 1943 World Series and 1945 World Series both imposed travel restrictions, i.e. the first 3 games in one city and the final games in the other city. The 1944 Series was unaffected, only because all the games were in one city. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the 1945 All-Star Game had been cancelled in April, while the war in Europe was still raging. The 1942-1943-1944 games were played at night, for war-related reasons. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
