There are only two days left until WarioWare: Get It Together! launches into Switch, which gives us our latest crazy taste of the series ’micro-game madness, but is it worth your valuable time and money?
Reviews have started flooding in today, including ours, of course, so we’ve moved forward and completed a selection of quotes and review scores from different outlets. You’ll then see how far the title has fallen with the media before its release, and hopefully you’ll have a clearer idea of whether or not it can be for you.
Before we dive in, we’d like to encourage you to check out our own review:
Now, you’ve read the final verdict, let’s see what other critics had to say.
We’ll start with VG247, which awarded the game four out of five stars:
“WarioWare: Get It Together is Nintendo blatantly, fulfilling its mission statement to the letter with alarming accuracy, but it didn’t shake the ship too much either. The only big change in the game: controlling a cast of characters The result is a wonderfully contagious game to play alone (as long as it lasts), but the true value of the package will be to play it with others. “
IGN called it “an absurd delight,” but they weren’t completely impressed with the multiplayer options on offer:
“WarioWare: Get It Together! It’s an absurd delight, to test your ability to think fast and adapt on the fly in a series of constantly climbing microgames … It’s a shame that Get It Together! ‘S multiplayer options but , enough to spend one or two nights of fun with friends, but without the power of permanence for many more. “
The people of Game Informer got a score of 7.75 / 10:
“The animated images from WarioWare: Get It Together are temporarily appealing, but this candy shell has an empty center; like any sugary snack, you don’t have the experience left. As soon as the short single-player campaign of Get It Together, I was content to move on to something else. These microgames are a delight if you have an eccentric humor, but these miniature experiences only offer a short-lived joy. “
Destructoid opted for a score of 7.5 / 10, also questioning the longevity of the game:
“I am grateful for another Wario the game even exists and WarioWare: Gather it! it will be a hit for many people who are already engaged in this special brand of strangers. But for some, the homogenization of some aspects may not last more than a week, so be sure to attract people if you want to get into the full purchase price. “
GamesRadar was a little less impressed and noted that the game “complicated the formula too much”:
“It’s a shame because after the 18 months we’ve all had, I was very happy to have something new and frivolous to play with friends over a few beers. But WarioWare: Get It Together has lost sight of what’s going on. to do is brilliant and, on the other hand, complicates the formula to its detriment. “
And finally, GameSpot offered an 8/10, which he called a “welcome addition” to the Wario series:
“For the most part, the new character-based approach is a welcome addition to WarioWare’s plan. The characters themselves are differentiated and expressive and mechanically make the traditional challenges of microgames much more appealing. The WarioWare series has been fertile ground for Nintendo to experience concepts such as the touch screen capabilities in Touched or the accelerometer-based motion in Twisted, which makes the platform riffs of Get It Together a little more traditional than the usual. But that also makes it less dependent on one trick and that’s a change for the better. “
