WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Games!

released on Oct 17, 2003

Following the almost universally acclaimed short-attention-span action of the Game Boy Advance's WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! comes this party-game adaptation for GameCube. Many of the mini-games featured in the handheld original have been converted for four-player competition on the console. Gamers strive to be the quickest teeth-brushers, the most precise nose pickers, the best free-throwers, the most accurate apple shooters, the most skillful paper-airplane pilots, and the victors in countless other quick contests that take no more than a few seconds to complete. As in the GBA original, a wide variety of activities combine with a simple, unifying theme, for an experience designed to appeal instantly to anyone who played video games in the days before 3D graphics and complicated storylines. Half the fun is in not knowing which five-second challenge will pop up next, or what the player will be required to do in it. Even when players aren't in control of the active character, some of the mini-games allow them to participate in a more passive fashion, adding to the group-oriented strategy.

The popular criticism with this one is that it's just the GBA game with multiplayer but like... that's why it's so good? WarioWare has always been better as a multiplayer party game than a single player experience.

This one in particular has some really creative game modes that really make the experience. Probably one of the best party games I've played. It has no right being as fun as it is

Hilário e divertido, como todo bom WarioWare. Porém, poderia ter sido um porte melhor.

Eu esperava que esse título fosse usar mais o hardware do Gamecube, e não agir como se todo o game estivesse se passando em um GBA... Ok, é um porte do primeiro game, mas sinceramente dava pra dar um bom tapa no visual dos microgames e deixar o jogo mais aprazível no geral. Sei lá, só esperava um pouco mais de capricho e exclusividade.

Existe a possibilidade de jogar em Multiplayer aqui, coisa que até onde eu sei não era possível no GBA. Mas mesmo se fosse possível, sinceramente, deve ser muito melhor experimentar um título WarioWare em um console de mesa, sendo o principal diferencial do título.

De resto, toda a minha review do WarioWare, Inc. Mega Microgames de GBA também é válida aqui, afinal, é o mesmo game. O escopo de uma original e hilária série.

An enhanced port of the first WarioWare for the GBA that doesn't really enhances anything. Microgames aren't scaled well graphically wise and some of them have really aged poorly gameplay wise. WarioWare finds its strength in simple to grasp, rapid fire games. However a good bunch of them are too complex to understand on the fly and some are too difficult, coming from one who has 100% Gold, Game & Wario and Smooth Moves.
The only new mode of the game is the multiplayer, probably the funniest one in the series. Many different modes to choose from and they are all very good. A pity that i can't play them with anyone.

Its WarioWare, it literally can't be bad

For what it's worth, this is a fun game. There is a good amount of content here, and the multiplayer aspects of this game are much better than the offerings on the GBA version of this game. However, this is made primarily to be a party game, and not so much as a single-player experience like the GBA counterpart. Because of that, I believe that this is an inferior version of the game. It is great with friends and family but not much else.
