I’m sure Nintendo will put it on Switch as soon as I press Save on this but in the meantime, after a quick look at the price of the old cartridges on eBay, I went with the quite solid emulation on PS Vita. Sue me, I guess? I do pay for the subscrition though… Anyway, it’s a brilliant sequel, that manages to mantain the essence of the original game while fully embracing the motion control idea. I felt it was a little on the short side compared to the first one but maybe it’s just me. Anyway, these heavily arcade, super essential games are not completely my cup of tea, I’m not gonna play and replay them for hi-scores, but the great execution and its uniqueness are more than enough to make me enjoy it for a full ride. Also, it’s excellent as a fully portable game to play while pooping, before sleep, on a plane, at the beach...

Game Summary

WarioWare is a series consisting of rapid fire minigames that increase in speed and difficulty as your streak increased. This particular title is centered around motion based minigames.

Review Portion

The game is split into chapters, each centering around a character and a small story. Generally, each new character introduces and focuses around a general mechanic. After around a dozen minigames, a boss fight occurs. These boss fights are just a slightly longer minigame, which of course, what else what would it be? The minigames are fun and work. There is only one minigame that I've played multiple times that I don't feel quite makes sense and only one boss fight I felt was frustrating and not challenging. The games also feature a wide variety of art styles, which help keep it feeling fresh and chaotic. After completing the chapters, credits roll, a free play mode of all minigames unlocks, and that's about it so far. There are unlockables for doing well which is cool, and you may need to play each character a few times before seeing all of their minigames. Other than that, replay value really depends on how much you enjoy this sort of thing. I personally see keeping it in my Micro at my desk as the perfect work break game for quite a while. It is a little hard to recommend to everyone at the roughly 30 dollar price tag it currently goes for, but if you like this sort of thing, get the chance to try it, or are able to snag it cheap I wholeheartedly endorse it.

Summary

Don't be dissuaded by the motion controls, it's fun and works.

Personal score: 10/10

"Objective" score: 8/10

Picked this up and tried it today. I forgot about the WarioWare games' commitment to having plot. Completely unnecessary and I love it.

I started WarioWare Twisted over the weekend and technically beat it already. I have some more playing to do though to try and unlock everything. :) It's bizarre playing it on my GBA Micro given how big the cartridge is. :)
