Of the included games, I think the gyroscope and microphone-enabled games are often the weakest of the bunch - the gyroscope occasionally doesn’t seem to work properly, or seemingly works opposite of the direction it seems like it should, and the microphone just seems gimmicky. Later on in the game, you’ll get to more challenging collections of these games that combine the different game types (warning you before each microgame which control input is needed), as well as adding in games that require you to blow in the microphone. It’s a bit odd to actually hear these characters all talking clearly in full sentences when most of the series’ games have had brief digitized one word exclamations, but it’s not a bad change.Īs for the gameplay itself, the games here start off divided into three types: Mash League (for games using the D-Pad and A button), Twist League (for games using gyroscopic motion control and the A button), and Touch League (for games using the touchscreen). In between the games themselves, you’ll be treated to somewhat crudely-animated cutscenes of the WarioWare series’ various characters each contending with some issue encapsulating their series of games, with the characters fully-voiced. Overall, the game still looks quite good and definitely still fits the WarioWare style, but it sometimes feels like it would have been better if the classic microgames retained their classic look. The remastered microgames are going to be divisive and vary in quality from game to game - some look great with higher resolutions, while others seem to have had their personality polished away. The game still uses a mix of mostly 2D visuals with some 3D, with a wildly eclectic range of styles, ranging from pixel art, to rough child scribbles, to detailed paintings, with many of these often depicting absurd scenes. This isn’t a copy-paste job, though - the majority of these revisited microgames have been reworked to feature higher-resolution visuals. These microgames are mainly from WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$, WarioWare: Twisted!, and WarioWare: Touched!, though I did notice a few that are versions of microgames that were in the Wii entry in the series, WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Coming late in the Nintendo 3DS’s lifespan after the Nintendo Switch was quickly making the Nintendo 3DS a thing of the past, WarioWare Gold acts as a “Greatest Hits” entry in the series, with roughly 260 of its 300 “microgames” derived from prior installments in the series. WarioWare: Gold is an Arcade-style collection of rapid-fire brief 5-second “microgames” released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2018. Players: 1-2 Competitive (Local Wireless)
