WarioWare: Move It! Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It? 

Right? Especially when Move It is stuffed to the brim with so many multiplier modes and options. Seriously, I hadn’t seen Nintendo show so much care for a multiplier-driven game in forever. The vast majority of Mario Sports games in the last 15 years have been extremely disappointing in terms of content, as well as the 3 previous WarioWare entries. This was a very pleasant surprise - but it is still pretty disappointing that they didn’t extend the same care to the single-player experience. Nintendo always does a step back every two steps forward.

You can play through the story alone like usual. I don't quite understand your comment? It was never said that you couldn't, it's just not as fun as playing with a friend supposedly.

​@@frostsplashyea but theres usually collectibles achievements and singleplayer minigames and this doesnt have those

@@frostsplash idk. Alex said something about getting to a part where you can’t continue unless you had another person. Maybe I misunderstood him and he just meant “got to a point of playing all the content” where to do anything new you’d need to switch to multiplayer

​@@JadesOfGreySince the game is meant to be the Switch's version of Smooth Moves I imagine he means the rest of the content is simply party games, which are largely just playing the same microgames with a twist. Smooth Moves was essentially the same way, but with a few basic games that made use of the Wiimote and no microgames involved (darts was a surprisingly popular one in my house). I don't think you're missing out on too much if you're not playing the multiplayer mode, but it might make you feel like the game is $10 more expensive than it should be if that goes untouched.

same! i anyways thought warioware was more of a high score based arcade game then a party game

The last WarioWare Switch game was soooo bad! The worst one in the series!!

@@phillai mhm! Motion controls > Button controls haha good thing I skipped that one.

Lol how? It played just fine

​@@phillaiNah, WarioWare Snapped on DSiWare is far worse

@@ImsPlays I like the button controls (as well as the motions controls), I just didn’t like the whole 2D platformer approach of Get Together (where you had to control a small character). It just didn’t feel as snappy and fast paced as the other ones. I’m honestly super excited to play this new one (and, mind you, I only grew up with the original GBA one and Touched!).

You realize the entire game is playable in single player, right?

No its not sincevits not aligned to main gimmick of switch which is hybrid. Move it cant be played handheld.

@@showmeyourmoves8551but it does use the switch’s IR camera, which like. Barely any switch games too. The switch does have portability, but let’s not act like that’s it’s only gimmick

@@showmeyourmoves8551 should still be playable in tabletop mode, though that might not be the best way to play.

My Nintendo News said that the controls are great and that whenever you mess up, it feels like it's on you and not the game

@@PikaPhantom_ Hmm, that's helpful, but I just saw the IGN and GameSpot reviews, both of which say the controls are a real issue.

@@justanothergamer9570 Hopefully it's at least not as rough as Smooth Moves often was for me. I really do like what it brings to the table, but the inconsistencies make it possibly my least favorite in the series barring Snapped and the DIY games (given how barebones they are)

Right!?

🥛🍪 enjoy

I might be wrong but i think its only motion controls

Nowadays, I may expect MOST people to be in that situation. I agree it looks great, though. But it's the same for me. The last time I was able to play a multiplayer game with anyone must've been like 10-15 years ago. Right about the time the internet started getting super popular, local multiplayer started to die out. Now people just live their lives on their smartphones and have less time for anything outside of that.

in story mode, yeah.

Where you see that at

I personally find that a lot of the criticisms of Get It Together don't even make any sense. "It didn't have enough multiplayer options!" (It had literally the most multiplayer options of any mainline WarioWare to date.) "It was too complicated, unlike the simplicity of games like Smooth Moves!" (Get It Together is, in most ways, significantly simpler than Smooth Moves due to the sheer variety of forms and specific motions you had to learn in the latter, and Move It will be even more complicated than Smooth Moves was.) "Move It actually feels like it was built for the Switch's hardware, whereas Get It Together was a generic button game." (The main defining feature of the Switch is being able to switch between handheld and docked modes, which will not be possible in Move It. Move It looks more like a Wii-style game made compatible with the Switch. Get It Together can be played single-player in handheld mode or co-op with only a single controller in docked mode.)

@@justanothergamer9570 I kind of agree with those points but I think calling it complicated is kinda fair, and it's the reason it turned people off. You not only have to know the microgame but also how the character works. This is really fun for single player but I was trying to show my friends how to play and it definitely wasn't as easy to explain as the other entries. There are more multiplayer modes but some of them just feel like nonsense. I think it's a really fascinating and fun game, I just wish other people saw the genius to it. I also think Nintendo pricing it at 50$ had it DOA. If it was price at 15, 20, maybe even bundled with Online as a f2p game, I think it would be remembered fondly. Give it a few years and it'll be a cult classic.

@@GurdevSeepersaud The only thing that really makes the game complicated is the scarcity of multiplayer options that all that allow you to use only one or just a few characters. Most multiplayer modes assume familiarity with the entire cast. But doing the coliseum survival mode with only 1 or 3 characters is a pretty good way to introduce the main concept. I think having to learn a bunch of new forms all at once could also be very hard for a new player. It can be daunting to learn all the characters in GIT, but once you do, the microgames become much easier to learn than in most WarioWare games. Even in the original GBA game, in every microgame, you have to learn what game object you are moving and how they move. In the Jimmy T. microgame where you have to bounce the guy on the trampoline, tons of first-time players lose because they mistakenly assume they're supposed to move the gymnast instead of the trampoline. 9-Volt's stage has the Chiratori microgame, which has a surprisingly unintuitive control scheme. Some games only let you move in cardinal directions, others make you hold A to move, and still others only let you make discrete movements between a small number of positions. But in GIT, once your character is selected, you immediately know exactly which game object you will be tasked with controlling and exactly how they move. Before the game even starts. All you have to figure out during the game is how to clear the objective, not what you're moving or how it moves. GIT has perhaps a steeper learning curve, but also a shorter one. Once you know the characters, you know the game.

@@justanothergamer9570 Wow, that was actually EXCELLENTLY put. Good examples and capped it off nicely with that bit about having a steeper but shorter difficulty curve, which I think summed up the core issue I have with the game. I still think this is a fair criticism, though. Even if it's going to eventually click, the last thing I want someone to do when they come over is struggle to figure out the controls. It's just too weird of a concept for a series that's all about picking up and playing. In that way, I think GiT would have fared much better as a different franchise, in terms of audience perception.

I wouldn’t mind a Wario Land 6 were waluigi is player 2

because the microgames last fewer seconds than the input lag of the average nintendo online game, it would be unplayable

Agreed. It's long overdue

That’s would be so awesome. I remember playing warioland 2 in the shopping cart while my mom shopped lmao!

Why though? I felt like honestly it’s a unique concept and a great way to freshen up the Series. Even if it did lack some other content

Milking? Why can't we have both?

It’s mainly because they have a dedicated developer for WarioWare with Intelligent Systems, the same devs behind Fire Emblem and Paper Mario. Whereas Shake-It was made by Good-Feel, and while I’d love for them to do a new Wario Land, all they’ve done since then is make Yoshi games.

@@hypotheticaltapeworm because we're NOT having both. They keep on releasing nothing but WarioWare, and haven't made a new Wario Land game in 15 years. So yes, they are milking it

@@DanTheMan33088 I'm saying that a different developer can handle Wario Land since Intelligent Systems makes WarioWare, and never made the platformers. There's no reason why they couldn't coexist.

Warioware did not replace Land. They are two completely different franchises. I want Land also but it does not negate Ware in any way

Both r awesome lol

The refent focus on WarioWare could easily lead to more WL

Also why do u even hate warioware?

These games are still great and fun though, so you can cope and seethe.

cry about it, this game looks great

trashing on the warioware series isn’t gonna make nintendo make another wario land game (nothing is)

Or you can like both series

The game doesn't strike me as well. But at least Wario is still represented unlike StarFox.
