Nintendo’s had a bumper year, so I’ll forgive it for some filler (especially when there’s also the Super Mario RPG remake on the way yet). WarioWare: Move It! achieves what it sets out to by providing players with a bunch of microgames that use the Joy-Cons and motion control in an inventive and silly manner. You’ll enjoy the boundless creativity in coming up with so many microgame ideas. In addition, you’ll enjoy the colour and humour at first. And then, about an hour later, you’ll be done with it for good.

WarioWare: Move It! is exactly what you'd expect from this franchise: fast microgames with a lot of charisma, humor and fun. The use of the Joy Con is very creative, but in general, the game doesn't do much to innovate.

Get moving, lots of mini-games awaits you! Some are more micro than mini, anyway there is enough for a solo player and for a party with friends.

The pose-based gameplay of WarioWare: Move It! sets it apart from previous entries and it all works out impressively well with mostly intuitive controls and a super-fun co-op Story mode. Wario's moves aren't quite as smooth as they were back in the day, though. 💃

WarioWare: Move It! has unquestionable merits. It can be hilarious, the activities are at times ingenious and in company it will know how to give you moments of genuine desecrating degradation. However, the brand's return does not solve some of the series' own limitations, chief among them an atavistic lack of content (especially over distance) as well as a virtually nonexistent longevity for those who will want to play solo. Aware of all this, the new Nintendo production is, in all likelihood, one of the best choices for a goliardic evening with friends as well as a wonderfully crazy party game.

WarioWare: Move It! is the further crystallisation of a series that makes fun and immediacy its beating heart. The madness and numerous micro-games within the adventure of Wario and co. succeed in making anyone spend dozens and dozens of carefree hours. Should you have someone with whom you can take on the wacky challenges created by Intelligent Systems, WarioWare: Move It! is undoubtedly a must buy for Nintendo Switch.

WarioWare: Move It! is a wonderfully smooth game full of funny, varied and creative microgames that make good use of the possibilities of the Joy-Cons. It's everything you'd expect from a WarioWare game, although the party mode for three or four players is a disappointment. The pace is slow in this mode and because each player has not two, but one Joy-Con, the game registers all the poses and movements you have to do a lot less well. The two-player story mode is by far the best this bright, strange and funny game has to offer.

"Fun with vacation mode Wario."

The value of a WarioWare is measured by the eccentricity and fun of its video games and, in this regard, WarioWare: Move It! comes out at the top. In the various levels of this entry in the series, you will find yourself constantly changing positions and contorting yourself to achieve countless objectives that are as unpredictable as they are hilarious, an experience highly recommended for anyone willing to squeeze the juice out of this title. However, the narrative glue that connects and justifies the minigames does not reflect this inventiveness, and the extra content does not have the diversity and appeal of its predecessors.

The Nintendo Switch has a deluge of amazing party games, many of which were produced by Nintendo. WarioWare: Smooth Moves isn’t going to unseat the last Mario Party game or any of the Jackbox titles, but it’s still a fun romp for those who miss the days of waving Wiimotes around, despite its flaws.

WarioWare Move It!’s microgames may not all be winners when unresponsive controls get in the way, but its generous catalog of microgames is sure to tickle your funny bone and keep you and your friends entertained for a long time.

WarioWare: Move It! is a welcome addition to the quirky series, providing moments of laughter and creativity. Its microgame mayhem is a highlight, and the inventive multiplayer modes elevate the overall experience. However, the game faces challenges with a high price point and limited replayability. If you're looking for a party game that thrives on chaos and unpredictability, Move It! might be the right fit, especially if you have friends willing to embrace the hilariously absurd challenges it presents.

WarioWare Move It by no means reinvents the wheel in the franchise, as we still have the thug Wario up to his usual antics while we continue to goof around, this time with the JoyCons. I've enjoyed, as always, the game's graphic remix, which keeps you on your toes with unexpected changes, the irreverent humor, and having Wario around, which is always a plus. While not the best game in the series - the GBA one still holds that honor - Move It will provide some good moments, especially when you have guests at home.

WarioWare: Move It! continues the spin-off saga with the same exuberance and wackiness as the previous chapters, immersing us in more than 200 brand-new mini-games. If you are a fan of WarioWare you will surely enjoy this chapter as well, which takes full advantage of the Joy-Con motion control technology to bring absurd poses and situations to life.

WarioWare: Move It! follows the series' tradition of making the most of Nintendo console technology, but the game arrived very late in the Switch's life cycle. If it were among the first games available for the hardware, the novelty of playing with the Joy-Con would possibly compensate for the lack of more in-depth modes and content.

The WarioWare games have always been weird and wacky fun, and this latest instalment is no different. I had fun playing through the main story and seeing the result of Wario's vacation.

Despite rendering the value proposition of the Switch moot due to the fact you will need to play docked, the game’s variety in both content and visuals certainly makes up for it.

WarioWare: Move It! is another excellent entry to Nintendo’s strangest (and one of its most consistent) series. A couple of the games take a bit to get used to, but the variety of fast-paced and goofy microgames and modes provide everything you could want from a WarioWare game.

Wario brings back motion to the Switch in Warioware: Move It! for a fun, if not dated experience.
