WarioWare Gold Reviews
While the game could benefit from having a bit more meat on its bones, WarioWare Gold manages to be one of the most consistently enjoyable and funny 3DS games in recent memory. The game's hilarious cutscenes impress and add some interesting new characters to the WarioWare universe, the microgame collection is the best the series has featured yet, and some of the unlockable side content is hilarious. If you are fine with WarioWare Gold‘s short length, there is no reason not to pick this quirky title up as the 3DS reaches the end of its lengthy lifespan.
Clever tweaks make this far more than a greatest hits package.
While I wish WarioWare Gold had more new than old, it's definitely the ultimate package of microgames that will give any fan of WarioWare something to truly enjoy. There's tons of content here that presents Wario and friends in a shiny new light that – for a series that has always sort of taken the back seat – is much appreciated as a longtime fan myself.
A great compilation of the best content of WarioWare. Pure Gold for al Nintendo fans.

The Franchise was always known for their curiosities and it's good to see that it keeps up with that promise for fans of the series. Besides the short story mode you'll get a best of from the mini games of the series that offer around two hours of regular gameplay before the credits roll.

I had a great deal of fun playing this game, and it saddens me that I can't give it a better score. However, I just cannot imagine justifying the $39.99 price tag of WarioWare Gold for the few hours of gameplay it has to offer. The story mode is about how Wario slaps together a bunch of games in the hopes to make a quick buck off the gaming industry, and I'm sorry to say this might be a case of art imitating life.
While unlikely to ever eclipse the popularity of games starring his do-gooder counterpart—lo, art imitates life—Wario's series of wacky microgames nevertheless exudes such raw charisma and fun factor that it's hard not to root for him.
It's been fifteen years since the series' début, but WarioWare remains frantic fun. This fully voiced Gold edition is no exception, offering an addictive and humorous collection of classic microgames that are sure to entertain existing fans, while offering an even better value for those new to the series. Chasing high scores gives the game strong replay value as well. Try the demo if you're on the fence, but WarioWare Gold would make a great addition to any 3DS library.
This entry might not add much new to the series, but it maintains the series hectic and crazy fun with a wealth of content. A great conclusion for the 3DS.

WarioWare Gold is simple unadulterated fun which is perfect for those “pick up and play” sessions.
WarioWare Gold is a must have in the 3DS catalogue. With hundreds of mini-games and extras to unlock, it will become one of those games that we must not give up. It's a bit of a challenge having so many recycled mini-games from other games, but they're still just as much fun. Pure addiction.

WarioWare Gold is an off-the-wall title bursting with content and creativity. The 300+ microgames and myriad side modes will keep you coming back to this game time and time again, even with its lacking multiplayer and padded unlockables. WarioWare Gold is easily the best game Nintendo has released in 2018 so far, and a great addition to any 3DS owner's library.
WarioWare Gold takes the best games since launching on the GBA and brings it to the 3DS with over 300 playable microgames. It's fun, wacky and will keep your attention throughout story mode. It's unfortunately very short and comes with a multiplayer mode that requires your friend to own the game as well. Perfect for newcomers, but veterans might want to give it a skip.
WarioWare Gold is the ultimate collection of microgames.
WarioWare Gold slightly redeems itself only after you've suffered through the feeble punchlines of the Story mode and have unlocked Challenge mode, which puts bizarre roadblocks in front of the player that affect your interactions with the microgames.
By and large, WarioWare Gold is a great collection of microgames with some funny moments and an oddly charismatic Wario. It’s certainly much better than Game & Wario
While not a great departure from past entries, WarioWare Gold serves as both a love letter to longtime fans of the series, as well as a perfect starting point for new ones.
For newcomers to the WarioWare series I think you’ll have a great time with Gold as it’s taken a massive amount of the fan favourite micro-games from the game’s of the past and combined them into one complete package full of fast paced insanity.
Keeping to its roots, WarioWare Gold is a wonderful showcase of the crazy, wacky and quirky history of both its own franchise and Nintendo in general.
Full of personality and using the features of the system to the fullest, it’s a shining example of pure and simple fun. Just like Wario, the game’s a little strange and it has some flaws, but these all end up coming together to make it stand out as a gorgeous addition to your 3DS.
