My first instinct when the Delta emulator hit the App Store was to first actually download it and then (painstakingly) drag a bunch of ROMs into it to test it out, and to my surprise, the GBA emulation has nearly-perfect support for the couple of games that utilize the gyro accessory, these being Drill Dozer and WarioWare right here.

And in my journey to actually playing the WarioWare games I was pleasantly surprised on how this was a really fun time with the right equipment. The emulation working almost seamlessly just makes me think how fun it would've been to actually play this game this way in the original hardware. Twisted! is without a shadow of a doubt a straight upgrade to the original whilst keeping the same vibe, now the microgames are much more fun and are way more detailed, the tilting controls are fun and are used in inventive ways that don't get old easily, the whole game and the stories of its characters feel more landed and coherent to build off of for future entries because it sets the precedent most games in the franchise using weird and fun gimmicks to actually maneuver it with.

...Now, sadly this is pretty much all there is to say about this game. It's more fun and it definitely feels more refined than Mega Microgames! but it'll always live as The Game That Was and then proceeded to get superseded by practically every other major WarioWare entry going forwards. It's fun for some time but it isn't earth-shattering either.

worst one of these i played so far but it wasn't terrible! had fun but something here just didn't click
