WarioWare: Move It!
Nov 03, 2023 3 years ago
Strike a pose with a multitude of motion-based microgames in a brand-new entry in the WarioWare series! Grab a pair of Joy-Con controllers and get moving as you gently shake, punch, dance, wiggle, and even curtsey through over 200 lightning-fast microgames (minigames that last just a few hilarious seconds). A second player can use another set of Joy-Con controllers to join the treasure-guarding, sheep-twirling fun. Up to 4 players, each with one Joy-Con controller, can laugh out loud in the local Party Mode’s minigames like a dicey board game with Wario-style rules.
What it’s like
WarioWare: Move It! is a high-energy party experience defined by its relentless pace and physical engagement. The core loop involves surviving over 200 lightning-fast microgames, each lasting only seconds, requiring players to use motion controls or the IR camera to perform absurd actions like dancing, punching, or wiggling. The tone is chaotic comedy, leaning heavily into the series' signature zany humor and vibrant, colorful aesthetic. While the single-player mode offers a solo challenge, the game truly shines in local multiplayer, supporting up to four players with one Joy-Con each for frantic, laughter-inducing competition. The structure is straightforward: quick rounds that escalate in intensity, demanding rapid adaptation and physical coordination. It captures the joy of spontaneous group play, prioritizing immediate fun and accessibility over complex mechanics or deep narrative progression.

Keep in mind The motion-control-only requirement can be physically tiring or awkward for some players, and the lack of online multiplayer limits its appeal to local gatherings. Additionally, the shallow depth means it may feel repetitive quickly for those seeking long-term strategic engagement.
