WarioWare: Move It!

released on Nov 03, 2023

Strike a pose with a multitude of motion-based microgames in a brand-new entry in the WarioWare series! Grab a pair of Joy-Con controllers and get moving as you gently shake, punch, dance, wiggle, and even curtsey through over 200 lightning-fast microgames (minigames that last just a few hilarious seconds). A second player can use another set of Joy-Con controllers to join the treasure-guarding, sheep-twirling fun. Up to 4 players, each with one Joy-Con controller, can laugh out loud in the local Party Mode’s minigames like a dicey board game with Wario-style rules.

This feels more like the chaotic successor to Smooth Moves I always wanted. A really fun time.

The game is fun, but it gets a bit tiring after a while. It is some great exercise tho lol.
The story is there. It's warioware, story isn't the main point, but I found the cutscenes, that are generally pretty funny, to not be so much in this one.
If you have friends though, this game is great. It's an amazing party game that doesn't need too much skill or knowledge to be good at.

I'm not sure I have much to say about this one. I have a lot of great memories playing WarioWare Smooth Moves on the Wii back in the day and I always wanted a new WarioWare game that was similar. Well now we have Move It which is basically a spiritual successor to it and... it's fine.

There isn't a lot of content in this game and I really feel no need to go back to try and get higher scores after beating the main story. The microgames are fine and fit in with the rest of the series, but the controls are a step back in my opinion. I feel like the JoyCons are less responsive than the Wiimotes were way back in 2006. There were several instances where I felt like I was doing what the game wanted me to but the game just didn't respond in the expected way.

On the lack of content, this game has a surprisingly low amount of levels. Typically in WarioWare games they give each character their own stage, but in this one the majority of the time they are grouped up in groups of 2 or 3 characters per stage leaving us with a surprising lack of levels. The only stage that really stands out is, of course, 9-Volt's level. The microgames based on Nintendo's vast catalogue of games are always the highlight of each WarioWare entry. The rest of the stages sadly aren't very memorable.

Presentation-wise, the game and cutscenes look really good at least. Wario's new voice is a little off, but not enough the ruin the experience.

If you're looking for a WarioWare game on the Switch, I'd recommend Get it Together instead.

I think it's completely fair to judge a Warioware game based solely on the quality of the Nintendo minigames. Move It!'s Nintendo boss stage has you hold out your arms and tilt from side to side to slide down the secret slide from Super Mario 64, therefore it's the best Warioware game.

Overall a pretty good time even if some of the poses are more finnicky than others. Using the IR sensor to detect hand gestures is really cool, though. I wish more games used that.

Like the previous game, the multiplayer modes seriously elevate the quality here. Needs some more bonus content, but still a blast to play with friends.

I do think this game has a few issues that need addressing. It's the nature of any game that uses motion controls, especially to the degree this game does, to be physically exhausting and lack addictiveness. It's also really frustrating that you can't replay the stance tutorials, so introducing new players is much more difficult than it is in Get it Together.

Just a super fun Wario game! Sometimes all you need is a silly short little game to keep a group entertained for a little while and this is exactly that.

What is offers is super fun, but I would have liked a bit more for a game of this price these days.

The new microgames are great, and many are wonderfully creative. A select few are a little frustrating whenever they don’t seem to work as intended, but that’s just a small percentage. Warioware: Move it offers plenty of fun microgames, and a decent amount of fun game modes to experience them. All in all, a good time!
