Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames

Strengths: lot of stuff to do, very WiErD

Weakness: some people might be too cool to play this game, tsk tsk :(

There is so much to do. From skateboarding to picking peoples noses (no i did not misprint that last sentence) this game can prove to be one of the longest lasting games. The game has quite a few diffrent, should we say levels, that involves a person trying to do something (such as trying to go to the bathroom or throwing banana peels at police cars) and you have to win the microgames in order...

Prepare for the Insane Asylum

Strengths: Totally nutty!

Weakness: Wario is a bad man

This one game convinced me to buy a GBA...several years after its release. I love quirky games, and this one was too weird to pass up. So, I purchased a used GBA system (for the low price of $20, thank you very much) and a new copy of WarioWare, which ran me nearly as much as the system itself. My paltry investment was definitely worth it. WarioWare is a blast to play, particularly in short...

Fast, fun, and insanely addictive!

Strengths: Fast and hilarious mini-games, extremely fun

Weakness: None

All I can say is, "Buy this one!" This game is truly for those who like their games fast and furious, and it is just absolutely hilarious. You play lots of mini-games, with no directions essentially, and the topic matter of these games ranges wildly. I really just loved this one and have a hard time putting it down. :)

Money well spent if you're looking for a brainless,...

Strengths: Never gets boring. Some games last seconds. Seemingly endless number of games

Weakness: Too bad it doesn't have any special features for the DS

Got this for an incredible ten bucks on Christmas Eve at a local toy store chain. It has certainly gotten some heavy play time by both my kids. It's an endless series of mini-games, some of them decidedly peculiar (like when a giant nose appears onscreen, and you have to move a finger into the nostril) but all with the trademark, quirky Mario-family sense of humor. Graphics are no better or worse...

Calling all gamers with short attention spans

Strengths: + big variety of mini-games

Weakness: - it's hectic and fast paced

Wario Ware Inc. is basically a collection of different mini games. They all depend on fast reflexes so it's not quite kid friendly. My younger cousin who just finished 1st grade had a hard time adapting to the speed of the games. Each mini game last for no longer than 5 seconds if it's even that long. While playing it definitely feels like a marathon. It feels like a tennis ball machine gone...

Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames

Strengths: Nothing quite like it, addictive, easy to pick up and play, very creative.

Weakness: Too odd and bizzare for some.

A while back, I remember reading all the reviews about this game and most people were saying how great Warioware was. Even after reading the reviews, I still could not grasp what this game was about or why it was so great. But nothing would prepare me for when I finally popped this game into my GBA and played it for the first time. It's hard to describe what this game is all about because you...

Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames

Strengths: Creative gameplay, lots of replay options.

Weakness: The one-player game is a bit short.

Nintendo somehow always manages to create new genres - Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Pokemon were original ideas that became formulas for other companies to copy. Nintendo's done it again with Wario Ware! The cause of and solution to ADD, Wario Ware features a ton of fun and weird five-second microgames. With strange characters and plots, easy gameplay, and lots of unlockable extras, this is a...

Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames

Strengths: Unique yet fun like a good flash game

Weakness: Nothing unless you have to have a strong story type presense in your games

Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames is basically a bunch of mini games. I have played many games over the years that have had mini games you could play between levels that are alot of fun, like in Sonic the Hedgehog on Genesis for example. Wario Ware whips you though these kinda mini games one after another with the pace quickening & the mini games getting harder as it goes. I would highly...

Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames

Strengths: Easy to pick up and play. Variety of games and hidden bonuses. Fast pace.

Weakness: None. Just fun.

Wario Ware is a great puzzle game. It's basically like whittling. You can pick it up to devote a few minutes or an hour. Then put it down only to come back to it a few hours later. Wario Ware contains a ton of little mini games. Each one is simple and easy to do. The trick is, you only have a few seconds to complete each game. The games come fast and furious, one right after the other. This makes...

Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgames

Strengths: Very strange games, huge number of games to pick from, very fast action, great "play it and put it down" action

Weakness: Not for everyone

Wario Ware Mega Micro Game$ is one of the strangest and most satisfying gaming experiences on the GBA. Mega Micro Game$ consists of over 200+ minigames, some of which are over in just a few seconds. Almost all of them are some contest of reflexes or aiming skill. All very quick, fast action. Amazing amounts of "play it for a few minutes and put it down" gameplay. And all of it very odd. For some...

Sick of games? Don't want to touch another console as long as you live? Then try this—it's the un-game.
