Game & Wario - Nintendo Wii U





Good demonstration of the GamePad's capabilities
When I first started up Game and Wario, I noticed that my Wii remotes kept turning themselves off. I recalibrated them a few times before I realized that this was intentional. This game doesn't use the Wii remotes at all. It just uses your Wii U GamePad and your TV.

Game and Wario is a collection of 16 mini-games, 4 of them multi-player, and 12 of them single player. It was originally created to be a demonstration of the Wii U's GamePad, much as Wii Sports was a demonstration of the Wii Remote's capabilities. But the story goes that the developers ended up designing so many of these games that they decided to release them as a stand-alone title.

It's a shame that at least some of these didn't come pre-installed on the Wii U, as I think the slow sales of the Wii U are at least partially due to people being perplexed by the GamePad. Yes, there are a few hints of its potential in Nintendo Land, but Game and Wario really shows off the full potential of the...

A Lot of Fun
I was really excited for this game since they showed it at the Wii U launch presentation. Patiently waiting,. I per-ordered as soon as it was available. The first time I played I played each of the single player games which other reviews have accurately described.
The second time I had a friend, who doesn't get the Wii U, play games with me. He was pleasantly surprised by some games, and perplexed by others.

I enjoy it more with another person, even if I am the only one playing. Some later levels can become frustrating, and Bird certainly becomes hard later. The multiplayer games are great, except thee rhythm one that we couldn't make work.

The cut scenes are very well done, and the music is fitting. Voices are rarely used, and I don't think they were really necessary.

I would suggest it if you want a more relaxed or quirky game, or if you like party games that are short and more unique.


Single Player Lacked but Multiplayer rocked!
I initially bought this game to play it with my friends. Knowing other Warioware games I was somewhat hesitant to buy it and on game night to even play it. One of my friends convinced me to play it, he kept telling me "It's like Nintendo Land!" Point is he couldn't have been and more wrong. The single player was really short and we took turns beating the levels. It really only took us about 45 minutes to beat it. But when we continued on to the multiplayer games we had such a good time! I recommend this game for families and friends wanting to play fun multiplayer modes!
