    This game is a must-buy for the DS.It has a great use of the DS's functions, as well as fun gameplay. The only flaw is this game is waaaaaay too short (i beat it in the first two hours i got it) and gets boring after a while.

    It looks and plays out good and nice at first glance, but if you squint and look closer, it's so short and simple the game's not even worth 6 bucks.

    Most of the magic that made the original irresistable is now-curiously weakened. The frantic, clueless entrance into every mini-game has been reuined by a new organization which groups games into play-style, thus taking away the empty-headedness which made it so entertaining. Plays more like a tech-demo for the touch-screen than anything else.

    This game is good, but it lacks a wireless multiplayer mode. I frown upon this game because this doesn't have the wireless multiplayer mode! It's good for your mind, but once you master it, you get tired of it and abandon it. That's what I did. Sorry, folks, this is bad on replay value.

    It's a WarioWare game, you should know what you are getting. Micro mini-games strung together while using whatever controller gimmick the console is sporting at the time.

    This time around we get to use the neat little touch pad and mic that comes with the DS. Is always a bit of fun, however, this particular title loses points with me due to the fact that you can't skip some of the early

Is always a bit of fun, however, this particular title loses points with me due to the fact that you can't skip some of the early cut-scenes. The drawn out story shorts really don't add anything other than getting in the way of you and the game-play! Good little time waster all round though. (Played on the Wii U virtual console).

    Really good wario game. Lot of fast and great deigned mini games. Sometimes it is little bit too much, when game tells you to blow into the microphone all the time... But besides that it's really solid Wario.

  1. It's a good product, overall, but its overreliance on touching means that many of the microgames have you doing the same sort of activity again and again.

    Touched! may be an incredibly brief experience, but it's still one of the top titles in the Nintendo DS library. At the very least it gives a great insight into gameplay ideas that the touchscreen and dual-screen handheld's capable of.

    It's fun, inventive, cute, often hilarious, and occasionally heart-pounding -- nearly everything you expect a Wario title to be. It's just not especially challenging nor lengthy.
