WarioWare is no doubt one of my favorite Nintendo series, and with the completion of Touched, I am so close to experiencing the entire series. Touched does pretty much everything I expect WarioWare to do. It provides enough zaniness to fill a football stadium, entrances me in the high-speed art of goofiness, and establishes an endlessly-fun well of wacky replayability.

But I feel like Touched's story mode is just not as strong as strongest story modes in the series, bogged down by episodes like Mona's that seem to drag on forever. Bushwacking my way through a nasal cavity on my way to a nose within a nose is a novel conclusion, but I wasn't particularly interested in the adventure to that point.

Where the game really comes alive is in the frantic dimension that the Touch Screen adds to gameplay. Aside from the mic usage (which often feels like a repetitive gimmick), Touched gets so much use out of the DS' two-screen setup and the myriad potential inputs that tapping, rubbing, scratching, sketching, spinning, and slashing (did I miss anything?) provide.

It's hard to go wrong with WarioWare, and this is another very good entry.
