How Long Is WarioWare: Move It!?
Schizo64's review of WarioWare: Move It!
I love Wario Ware and this entry doesn´t disappoint at all, the microgames were awesome and pretty creative, it reminded me a lot of Wario Ware Shake It from the Wii, I say that Move It is a must-play for the Nintendo Switch, since it´s the only game that takes advantage of the joycons the most.
Throwback to the Wii days
Wario Ware: Move It! is very much a like a Wii game, warts and all.
Unlike its predecessor that tried to shake things up in a few ways, Wario Ware: Move It! treads more familiar ground. Gone are the platformer shenanigans, online modes and unlockables. Here you get the usual minigame madness but with motion controls (and the elusive Joycon IR camera usage). And in a true Wii fashion, the controls are as fun as they are finicky and imprecise. As a finishing touch to reach proper Wii era levels of handholding, after every 10-15 minigames or so you take a short break and are reminded to be mindful of your surroundings.
I played the game for 3 hours and managed to clear the single player content in that time. It was a pretty fun and I might play it some more later on. As a single player experience, though, there is little to see and the gameplay isn't as addicting or immediate as in some of the older entries to hook me into playing more.
As a party game, I'd imagine you'd have lots of laughs. For a while.
P.S. In my last review, I said I would focus …

P.S. In my last review, I said I would focus more on the visuals and music since I feel I usually breeze through them in my reviews. That shall wait for a later review. While Wario Ware games are audiovisual treats, I don't know what else to say than Wario Ware: Move It! is more of the same as the earlier entries. And that's a good thing in this case.
looking forward to finishing this one in our much too small living room surrounded by breakable things, us included. What could go wrong
I like when a wacky game makes you do wacky things.
Its good fun, very much in style with Smooth Moves, but even more. While it doesn't have the online rankings that the last Warioware on switch had, its party minigames are very fun so long as you have at least a partner to play them with. The game is very much improved with a second person, as is usual for these kinds of experiences.
