May 29, 2026Pictonico! successfully turns your personal photos into a collection of fast-paced and genuinely funny microgames. While the concept is creative and often hilarious, the limited gameplay variety, reliance on touch controls, and lack of WarioWare's signature personality prevent it from reaching its full potential. Still, it's an entertaining experience for fans of quick party-style games looking for a few laughs.

May 29, 2026Of all Nintendo's mobile offerings, Pictonico is packing more in the 'surprise and delight' department than any previous effort. It's a brilliantly effective translation of the WarioWare series on a platform it was born to be on. The microgame Volume Packs aren't quite cheap enough to be impulse buys, but I'd wager WarioWare fans will get their money's worth from these first two, especially if you've got kids to share in the irreverence and manic energy. Whether playing alone on the sofa or with a group of us huddled around my phone, we've been wearing massive grins the entire time. Delightful.

May 31, 2026If you’re in need of a laugh, or you know your friends could do with one, this really is a gut-busting time. Nintendo so rarely gets experimental these days, and it’s fantastic to see the company hasn’t lost its touch.
