Fans of insane microgames WarioWare They couldn't be happier. WarioWare: Move It! arrives at Nintendo Switch with the aim of providing good doses of humor, creativity and a lot of embarrassment among friends and family. It is already the second game in the franchise on the hybrid system of Nintendo So the question remains: does it deliver more content and make your purchase worth it? That's what we'll see now. 4r2541

Holidays with a noisy gang! 5a26z

as usual, WarioWare: Move It! features a story to the player to make things a little more, let's say, sensible (if that works...). A few minutes after a very immediate plot that shows Wario winning a trip to a paradisiacal island with the right to take 20 more companions, we are transported to a mystical world, with its local traditions pointing to a sacred artifact: (I won't tell and spoil the surprise, but they are stones very similar to a component well known to the owners of the Nintendo Switch). 

At this moment, dear reader, prepare yourself, because this somewhat beachy and, at the same time, ancestral aesthetic will accompany you throughout the adventure of the mustachioed anti-hero. The accompanying gallery Wario on this trip are already old acquaintances of fans of the franchise and include names like 9-Volt, Jimmy T, Mona, Crygor, Orbulon, Ashley, between others. Each of the characters is presented with a brief story — sometimes with a very shallow meaning, in the style of games in the franchise —, inserting them into the mechanics of themed scenarios that will count down the micro games.

About this universe, the mystique Caresaway Island It has tropical and archaeological characteristics, with many aspects of a large island. It brings central, coastal, forest and mountainous areas, all giving their color to each introduction presented in a character's story. Across hieroglyphics, the player will be presented with instructions (coming from a supreme voice, as the game mentions) about what must be done to continue the adventure. 

I confess that the entire introduction made in this new WarioWare I liked it, giving an air of vacation and fun in a very relaxed and lively way, typical of some good titles from Nintendo. Despite being simple, the plot goes straight to the point, without worrying about many details, and briefly launches the player into the game itself. On the other hand, moments of instruction of new movements pause the game in the middle of the game frenzy of micro games, breaking the whole atmosphere, but they are necessary and only appear once to the player.

Move your head, arms, etc. 36ig

O Arms are there to prove it, all doing a good job of bringing more movement into their owners' homes and bringing even more fun to those who frequent their homes.

WarioWare: Move It! arrives at Nintendo Switch bringing a new dimension after its last release on the same platform,  WarioWare: Get It Together!, but now with commands made entirely through the movements of the JoyCons. You can feel the Wii appearance of being, whether playing or watching it, with a style that reminds us of many games released in the mid and late 2000s — for example: Muscle March, Wii Sports, Rhythm Heaven Fever and himself WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

In this new game, get ready to accomplish about 18 different movements (be sure to put the Joy-Cons Straps), including raising your hands, turning the controls downwards, swaying, staying in awkward positions to better simulate certain movements, among others. Just by the names, you can already feel what's coming: Choo Choo, Sky Stretch, Massage, Crocodile, Ba-KAW… The act of pressing a button is also included here, but it s for less than 5% of the entire action, making it a mere detail to complement some more complex movements. 

I can confirm that I found myself in very bizarre scenes at certain times, always being impressed by how the game manages to innovate increasingly introducing inspiring and unimaginable ways of controlling Joy-Cons through movements in microgames. Still, the HD Rumble — the device's innovative feature of simulating even more types of vibration — makes the experience even more immersive and realistic.

As not everything is rosy, in our tests we had a little difficulties in some rare minigames regarding the correctness of the movements, but which became better understood as time went by. Some movements, such as raising your arms or rotating the Joy-Con may present failures in recognition if the player is not prepared in advance. This could be fixed by adding an option to reset two controls (existing in some other games that use movements) to avoid such frustrations during these minigames.

We also realized that Is it possible to “cheat” the game? and assume movements even while sitting or partially doing what the screen suggests. I confess that this makes the game itself less fun — and can lead to movement errors, which are best executed when we faithfully imitate the suggestions made. However, this “cheating the game” maneuver can be a useful option for times when the player is more tired or does not want to get up.

Creativity galore! 611x4b

Self "move” is the keyword of this new WarioWare, creativity is another characteristic that manages to position itself well here, even repeating the successful formula of the micro games saga from Mario's mustachioed rival. Unlike the penultimate game released, WarioWare: Move It! returns to a more traditional line of games in the series, bringing more than 200 microgames of pure madness… (I say) creativity. Some of them very innovative and many others borrowing the best ideas already known, including new arts, ways of controlling, etc.

O silly spirit, Along with the collection of funny/embarrassing moments between friends, it also makes its presence felt here. You won't be able to stop laughing when faced with moments like rolling around breading a shrimp, popping balloons with butts, unblocking a toilet, getting out of a cage, scanning a product, cleaning windshields, Go down a ramp in Super Mario 64 DS, Among others.

As is tradition, micro games are very immediate and generally have a short time of five seconds to complete. Some things can happen along the way, such as the speed being increased, thus increasing the difficulty level of the games. It is also possible to view all videos and microgames already opened in modes Theater e Museum, respectively, giving a new chance to repeat them or to glimpse what still needs to be completed.

A lack of an online multiplayer mode in this game it is a negative factor, but perhaps necessary. After all, this is the type of game that works very well when played in the presence of close friends, amidst laughter and looks. Already the obligation to connect the video game to a TV in multiplayer modes It can be an obstacle for those who want to have a party on the go without a television set at their disposal.

We also pack any unlockable extra modes also appear when finishing the game for the first time, delivering some board courses, new microgame sequences, and also a “mimic” mode — where a player, without looking at the TV, must copy the actions of another who performs the actions coming. of the game. There are many options for different moments, whether alone or with friends.

The best WarioWare ever made? 132s64

Although each person may have a preference for a game in the series, WarioWare (mine is WarioWare Inc. Mega Micro Game$ of GBA), it can be said that WarioWare: Get It Together! manages to live up to yet another respected title to appear in the long list of games in the franchise (which already totals 11). 

Loading elements from the best games in the saga Wario, the quality is implicit Nintendo in this title, with all that magical touch of joy and functionality that the company knows how to do so well. Despite being a national launch, the game does not have a translation into Portuguese other than the cover, which can make some scenes a little confusing for those less accustomed to the foreign language. Luckily, because the game mechanics are super intuitive, it only takes one or two plays to resolve this issue most of the time.

Another point worth mentioning is the game price, which is not that far below other titles considered larger productions. This can alienate a large portion of the public who would only have it for one or another casual jokes between friends, ending up making them miss out on one of the world's greatest releases. Nintendo Switch this year.
