Cary Woodham: "Well I got a DSi last weekend, and as a big fan of the WarioWare series, one of the first things I did was use my free points to download WarioWare Snapped. So in honor of this occasion, here's a tribute blog of all things WarioWare. I think I probably did this kind of blog before when the Wii WarioWare game was released, but that was more than two years ago so we'll revisit this again.
The 'story' in most WarioWare games is that Wario wants to make quick cash making video games. So he 'hires' (cons) a few of his buddies to make games for him. And since Wario's also lazy, these games are just a few seconds long, and require you to do something simple in that time, like push a button or move somewhere. The trick is to figure out what to do in the short time before quickly moving on to the next game. It's a pretty ingenious style of gameplay, and in my opinion, besides Animal Crossing, the WarioWare games are some of Nintendo's best new properties. So let's take a quick look at each game in the series."
COG: With the mustachioed maniac’s new release just around the corner, I’ve decided to rank the top 10 Wario games.
How in heaven's name Warioware Twisted is not on the list? It deserves the top 1 spot easily!
The games industry is broken, they say. The swarm of remakes and ruthless monetisation has tainted it. Dig a little deeper, perhaps?
Kuukiyomi’s gameplay might be similar to WarioWare, but it eschews that games’s progression in favor of experimental storytelling.
