It's a nice enough collection, and if you’ve never played a WarioWare before, then it's a great starting point.īut that’s all that it feels like. The music numbers are all but absent, leaving you to simply listen to OLD (BETTER) musical numbers in the collected Records section.Īgain, compare this to the GBA original. but that was on a limited GBA system, 25 years ago, and without luxurious cutscenes that could’ve done something more interesting. The original GBA version had the "garlic Wario" thing, which also never went anywhere. I’ve been told this is a petty complaint. it just trails off to another collection, and then vanishes. It would’ve been nice for a new mini game (the longer none-microgames) to have come from the new storyline element. There's a vague storyline which makes you think something dramatic is just around the corner, but that never happens. The cutscenes are nice, but never really go anywhere. Segmenting game types into different characters worked pretty much the same as it originally did. It's fast, fun and chaotic in the best way. The games in Challenge mode can be of any type, so at any given moment you may also need to switch control schemes. For instance, split screen mode features games being played on each of the 3DS's screens, with no delay between them, meaning as soon as you finish a game on one screen, you must immediately look at the other one and play an entirely different game.

Challenge mode introduces a series of crazy stipulations to the established formula. This only holds true for Story mode, however, and there's much more to the game than that.Īfter clearing Story mode you gain access to the challenge mode, and that's where the real fun begins. For instance, we found ourselves saving the Mash League and Touch League for times we couldn't (or shouldn't) move the 3DS around wildly or talk into its built-in microphone.
The decision to sort types of microgames into leagues proves to be quite ingenious, as it makes it easier to choose which games to play in certain settings. There's the Mash League, which features games that use only the D-pad and buttons the Twist League, which uses the 3DS's motion controls the aptly-named Touch League, which uses the touch screen and finally the Ultra League, which includes some brand new microgames as well as those of every type from the previous leagues. Each league is based on a different type of microgame. Most importantly, WarioWare's microgames are now split into leagues. The cutscenes are hilarious and prove WarioWare's trademark humour is alive and well, despite its somewhat long absence. You'll get to hear more than just, "Wa-ha-ha!" this time around, and the same treatment is given to the rest of the extended cast. However, the biggest changes come in how this new entry in the series is presented.įor the first time in Wario's history, the character stars in fully-voiced animated cutscenes. To say that WarioWare Gold is a mere 'best of' collection would be unfair there's plenty of new content on offer, from about 50 new microgames to some hilarious amiibo functionality (tap any amiibo, then tap the Wario one).
