WarioWare: Move It! – A New Twist on Classic Nintendo Fun
Nintendo Switch has seen the revival of many beloved Nintendo franchises over the years, and one of them was the excellent WarioWare: Get It Together! released two years ago. For those who may not be familiar, WarioWare games are all about a collection of bizarre and quirky mini-games, such as plucking hairs from a leg or dodging bird droppings. The catch is that you only have a fraction of a second to understand what is required of you and complete the task.
WarioWare: Move It! is essentially the same concept, but with a new set of mini-games and, most importantly, full utilization of the motion controls. While the previous installment only required a joystick and two buttons, this new game fully embraces the capabilities of the joy-con controllers. It harkens back to the carefree era of motion controls, reminiscent of WarioWare: Smooth Moves on the Wii, where the excitement of new technology prevailed.
The joy-con controllers are significantly more precise than the Wiimote and allow for even more creative uses. However, this isn’t always to the game’s advantage, as we will discuss later.
The story of the game is as wacky as ever: Wario orders fifty garlic burgers from a food stand to win a trip to Caresaway Island for himself and his friends. Each character embarks on their own adventure on the island, consisting of an intro, a set of mini-games, a boss battle, and an outro. The humor and story twists are spot-on, delivering the classic Wario experience we all love.
In the story mode, each player requires a pair of joy-con controllers. There are two main modes to choose from: story and party. As mentioned earlier, the story mode is designed for one to two players and requires a pair of joy-con controllers for each player. The party mode allows for two to four players, with one joy-con controller per player.
At home, we wanted to play with three players, so we opted for the party mode. It offered four modes to choose from, with one mode exclusive to four players. Our first choice was the rocket icon, Galactic Conquest, which turned out to be a parody of a board game. Players earn points by playing mini-games, and the winner gets to roll the dice. However, the game board is filled with unexpected twists, such as losing all your points or swapping positions with the last player. While there are normal spaces on the board, fairness isn’t a priority in Wario’s world.
Another mini-game requires players to tilt an umbrella according to the direction of the rain.
We weren’t particularly interested in the doctor’s instructions or boxing. However, the kids enjoyed the jellyfish game. Simply put, if a player moves, whether towards a jellyfish or during a mini-game, and the jellyfish catches sight of them, they turn to stone. The goal is to progress forward during free moments and eliminate snakes that obstruct the path by playing mini-games.
However, the core of the game lies in the story mode, which fully showcases the game’s potential. Here, you can play mini-games that aren’t available in the party mode. The advanced control scheme requires each player to hold a controller in each hand. The game gradually teaches you various poses, which serve as the basis for the mini-games. For example, you may hold both controllers like swords, above your head, or on your sides. These poses determine the actions in the mini-games.
Some mini-games require players to work together.
With over two hundred mini-games, the game offers a substantial amount of content. However, the quality and execution of these mini-games vary. You’ll find yourself fishing, plucking nose hairs, spearing paper animals with a javelin, washing dirty backs, or dressing up athletes. The game frequently incorporates elements from other Nintendo games, such as mining in Animal Crossing, plucking Pikmin from the ground, or using the 1,000-Fold Arms from Paper Mario: The Origami King.
Overall, WarioWare: Move It! is a fun and quirky addition to the Nintendo Switch library. While the motion controls add a new dimension to the gameplay, not all mini-games fully utilize this feature. Nevertheless, the story mode offers a unique and enjoyable experience, showcasing the game’s full potential. Whether you’re a fan of the WarioWare series or looking for a collection of quick and entertaining mini-games, WarioWare: Move It! is worth a try.WarioWare: Move It! – A New Twist on Classic Nintendo Fun
