Sep 20, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is a WAH-nderful addition to the WarioWare series. Between the microgames themselves, the quirky humor, and the new mechanic featuring all of Wario's friends, this game is a gift to fans of the series. However, not all playable characters are equally useful, and not every multiplayer mode will dazzle you.
-
Sep 15, 2021If you've got a Nintendo Switch and friend, or four friends, to play Wario's latest foray into madness with, you're in for a whole lot of confusion and fun as the game peels open like a bulb of garlic. There is almost no one I would not recommend WarioWare: Get It Together! to, except maybe my grandmother. And your grandmother, too, probably. Everyone else? It's a heck of a lot of fun, and well-worth adding to and multiplayer Switch library.
-
Sep 14, 2021With a ton of content and a massive variety of ways to play, WarioWare: Get It Together! is a solid purchase for any Switch owner looking for a blissful and somewhat manic distraction from day-to-day life.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! proves there’s plenty more fun left in the tank for his wonderfully zany series. Playing as the characters themselves is an unexpected direction but one that works brilliantly while the introduction of co-operative play creates an entirely new and exciting experience that I hope we see more of. WarioWare: Get It Together! once more delivers an experience unlike anything else out there, let’s just hope we don’t have to wait another ten years for the next.
-
Sep 8, 2021It leans into its own ridiculousness to deliver a multiplayer experience that feels unique to the series and a single-player experience that has plenty of fun reasons to return even after you beat Story Mode.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is a triumphant Switch debut for the subversive series that makes some daring changes to core gameplay, resulting in the best entry in the franchise to date. With a generous roster of playable characters, lots of solo and multiplayer modes to dig into, and stages that cleverly adapt to your choices on the fly, this is a superb compilation of hilarious microgames that delivers more ways to play than ever before. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dodge bird droppings on a skateboard. So grab a few friends or family members, break out the controllers, and gather round the TV — WarioWare: Get It Together! is essential stuff.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare is the latest in a long line of classic Nintendo franchises that has well and truly found its groove again on Switch. Get It Together! is gloriously silly, consistently puerile, and heaps of fun. I wouldn't have it any other way.
-
Oct 7, 2021The game is a very welcome sequel of the franchise that can act like a "remake" of the first titles. With your new microgames, it keeps the essence of "fast-fun pills", but with an excellent local multiplayer twist. The lack in use of the Switch functionalities, such as touch screen or gyro-controls is what remained to Get it Together be a definitive version of the series. But the new post-game modes are at least a try to cover it, ensuring that the player will be much more addicted with Get it Together than a lot of past games.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is one of the funniest games that you will find on Nintendo Switch this year. Wario's crew is back full of good surprises, like lots of interesting microgames and a nice variety of modes to play alone or with a friend.
-
Sep 14, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is short but it’s an absolute blast to play and will keep you hooked with everything it throws at you. The single-play story can beaten quickly but the replay value is in the different characters and figuring out how they handle each puzzle. The graphics are wild and fun, the controls are really solid, and the wealth of multiplayer options make this a blast for multiplayer couch sessions.
-
Sep 14, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is a brilliant return to the micro game formula. The directly use of characters inside the game changes in a pretty good way how do you approach each challenge that the games throws.
-
Sep 8, 2021Fun, challenging, and varied. This is how I would define WarioWare: Get It Together!, Nintendo's new title for the hybrid console. I admit that it can be a bit of a disappointment to those players looking for depth, mainly because WarioWare is pretty straightforward, but this kind of Free Guy style in video games is definitely something that has enchanted me.
-
Sep 8, 2021Whether you just want to have a good time with fast and crazy mini-games, or you want to perform by completing it at 100% with the highest scores, Wario Ware Get It Together is undeniably the best opus in the series. While it's a shame to see no touchpad games on Switch, the new opus does offer some good new features and functionality.
-
Sep 8, 2021With references that will make long-time Nintendo fans squeal, WarioWare: Get it Together has deeper gameplay and more longevity than you’d expect. You’ll love it or hate it, however, depending on whether you like the changes or not.
-
Sep 13, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together is as random and frantic as you would expect a character-driven entry in the long-running series to be. However, you may not expect just how fun it is to play with a friend and that's where its gameplay shines brightest.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare Get it Together! it's the usual crazy, fun and entertaining experience. The twist of the characters moves and attacks makes the gameplay even more fresh.
-
Edge MagazineOct 9, 2021A squad-based WarioWare? It's better than could have anticipated. [Issue#364, p.122]
-
Oct 7, 2021An excellent addition to the series with the introduction of 20 playable characters, emphasis on co-op and multiplayer, and tons of content. If only the online was beefier.
-
Oct 6, 2021WarioWare has traditionally been one of the more bizarre entries in the Nintendo catalog, but it has always been a welcome one. And although the crazy microgame approach won’t appeal to everyone, WarioWare: Get It Together! freshens up the approach just enough to make sure longtime fans will want to check it out.
-
Oct 4, 2021This crazy bundle of more than 200 micro-games offers a truly bonkers visual mix and furious tempo. It’s not very good in singleplayer but if you’re looking for something to spice up your house party, this might just be your best bet.
-
Oct 4, 2021While perhaps sacrificing a little of the series’ identity, WarioWare: Get it Together! goes in a bold new direction on Switch that largely pays off. It’s great, clean, wacky fun.
-
Sep 30, 2021Managing constant chaos has always been a core tenet of the WarioWare experience, and in doubling down on the randomness of its microgames, the series has at last gotten its shtick together.
-
Sep 22, 2021WarioWare makes a welcome return, providing the familiar fast-paced microgames action that fans will be accustomed to. Filled with quirky charm, this Switch entry doesn't disappoint. The new character gimmick, however, does get in the way slightly despite adding a neat twist to some of the microgames.
-
Sep 22, 2021It's rare for a long-running series to disappear for a decade, come back with some fairly dramatic changes, and still come away on top. Any one of these factors would be a death-knell for a worser series, so the fact that this title can balance all of them at once is truly impressive. WarioWare: Get it Together may not seem ambitious at a glance, but at a closer look, the scope is genuinely admirable. Somehow, Intelligent Systems was able to create 200+ microgames that could each be played by 19 characters, without any of these elements feeling bloated or ancillary. Time will tell if this installment remains as beloved as its cult-classic counterparts, but even after one whole week, Cubed3 is not ready to put the game down just yet. Especially when there's still some high scores that need beating!
-
Sep 21, 2021Despite some minor issues, WarioWare has never been better, and the joy of experimentation, fantastic presentation, and a wealth of options and unlockables, means there’s a veritable treasure trove that fans of the series will happily plunder for months.
-
Sep 21, 2021Get It Together! lives up to the premise established by its predecessors, offering changes that feel fresh, while still retaining the bizarre aesthetic and fast-paced fun in its mini-games that defines the series.
-
Sep 21, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together, despite its rather short campaign, features over 200 incredibly funny, absurd, and downright creative microgames for players to complete. You’ll find yourself laughing your way through the experience, fighting with your friends over who failed a game, and savoring your triumphs over the late game’s harder challenges. The addition of the Emporium, Break Room, Missions, Play-O-Pedia, and Wario Cup are nice and will keep the game fresh for many players well after they complete the story, but a few players may not enjoy the grind to unlock all the Prezzies available. As it stands, WarioWare: Get It Together is a great, though short-lived, game – perfect for a night in with a friend.
-
Sep 21, 2021This is a game I expect to go back to regularly throughout the life of the Switch. But when I do, it probably won’t be for the multiplayer. Those modes are fine, but cooperative play adds a bit too much stress. But as a classic WarioWare, Get It Together shines.
-
Sep 19, 2021Hectic fun that it’s hard to stop playing.
-
Sep 19, 2021The transient nature of the microgame concept means WarioWare: Get It Together, isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to pull out for a long haul, but for short bursts of pure, chaotic delight—especially with friends—you can’t go wrong. It’s surprising that it’s taken this long for Wario and his crew to become playable characters in their own game, but their unique abilities (and flaws) are a welcome twist on the frantic nature of WarioWare‘s rapid-fire minigames.
-
Sep 17, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! isn’t the best game in the series, but the latest from Wario’s video game company is still a delight. With tons of variety, this is the sort of game I can see myself popping into for a quick session regularly for years to come. If you have friends to play with, this is an easy recommendation. Even without those, there’s plenty of variety to keep players coming back until Wario’s next creation is ready to go.
-
Sep 17, 2021WarioWare: Get it Together! is a very fun game from the moment you pick it up. It has a generous selection of over 200 micro games to sink your time into. Pair that with the various playstyles of the characters, and you have yourself a lot more than just a one and done game.
-
Sep 16, 2021This is a great addition to the series, with wonderful micro-games, excellent co-op mini games and a lot to unlock in-game. The additional cast of characters can be a mixed bag, but overall this is a fine game.
-
Sep 16, 2021Thankfully, there is enough in WarioWare: Get It Together to keep fans plugging away at high scores and microgame mastery. The character movement can make some of the games far too simplistic when compared to the timing-based gameplay of past series entries and in the similar Rhythm Heaven series. However, the trade-off in pure variety makes for microgames that keep players on their toes for far longer, and anything that keeps the WarioWare train going is a good thing. Even after excising the baffling online mode, this is the same great WarioWare experience on a platform that lets players bring it to the couch and share Wario's distinctive brand of gaming with friends and family.
-
Sep 16, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is another thoroughly entertaining entry into this wacky series. The introduction of multiple different playable characters has its pros and cons, but once over the initial adjustment period, their addition makes for plenty of replayability, refreshing challenges and the special blend of multiplayer chaos only Wario can provide. It’s not the strongest WarioWare game overall, but it’s another quality party option for your Switch collection.
-
Sep 15, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together promises great fun with its wide range of characters and hundreds of mini-games. Don't forget to bring your friends for maximum fun.
-
Sep 15, 2021It’s not quite enough to propel the game to the must-have status of some previous WarioWare titles, but there’s still plenty here to like.
-
Sep 14, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is a fantastic game that is nothing like anything currently on the Switch. Due to this, the game is an essential title for anyone who enjoys local multiplayer madness. Bubbling with content, you will have plenty to do even after completing the relatively short campaign. With a range of modes, there are tons of options to accommodate up to 4-players in cooperative or competitive mayhem. Although lacking online multiplayer, this is a rock-solid title that manages to be accessible, frustrating, and fun at the same time.
-
Sep 14, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together is absolutely full of content that ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime and marks the franchise’s strongest entry yet. Additional playable characters increase the chaos, while a huge number of microgames and modes are a great way to spend the upcoming Autumn nights with friends. While we’d have liked more in the way of online functionality, Wario is definitely back – and better than ever.
-
Sep 13, 2021WarioWare: Get it Together is a clever game: true to itself but incredibly fresh thanks to a simple yet ingenious intuition that revolutionises the axioms of the series without distorting it. It won't last long for lone players aiming solely for the end credits, but those with friends to challenge or collaborate with will find it a great party game.
-
Sep 9, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! will give you tons of fun in short bursts. What's more, it looks great during 4-player sessions. If you have only a minute or two to turn a boring party into a cool one - the new WarioWare is your best bet.
-
Sep 8, 2021Nearly two decades after its first entry, the WarioWare series still knows how to keep things feeling fresh, but the series’ chaotic bombardment of micro-games is as addictive as ever. While the experience might not be as rich as say The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey, Get it Together! is still tons of fun to play.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! could be the best entry in the series: it has a lot of options, characters, game and modes. It has only one, great problem: differently from its predecessors, it's too complex to be played by casual gamers.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare has absurdity at its heart. And the speed of the game, plus its generous amount of wildly differing micro games, make it a fun title to play over and over with pals. In solo gameplay I suspect the dazzle will wane once you’ve tried all the micro games a couple of times. That’ll take less time than you think as they’re so frenetic and over so quickly. But Nintendo has done another good job here giving players a unique new game that the Switch hasn’t seen before. Well worth a look.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get it together! it is fresh, intense and does not give respite. An ideal option to enjoy, especially in company, crazy tests that are far from the traditional. Although your Story Mode can be completed in just one afternoon, you have many options to play in company.
-
Sep 8, 2021For the most part, the new character-based approach is a welcome addition to the WarioWare blueprint. The characters themselves are differentiated and expressive, and mechanically they make the traditional microgame challenges that much more engaging. The WarioWare series has been fertile ground for Nintendo to experiment with concepts like touchscreen capabilities in Touched or accelerometer-based motion in Twisted, which makes Get It Together's platforming riffs a little more traditional than usual. But that also makes it less reliant on a gimmick, and that's a change for the better.
-
Sep 8, 2021With a fresh focus on unique characters and multiplayer mayhem, WarioWare: Get It Together finds room for even more creativity in an already one-of-a-kind series.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together is unabashedly Nintendo, fulfilling its mission statement to the letter with alarming precision, but also not rocking the boat very much at all. The game’s one big change - controlling a cast of characters - didn’t turn out to be that big of a deal after all. The result is a wonderfully infectious game to play alone - while it lasts - but the true value of the package will be in playing it with others.
-
Sep 8, 2021Mad, funny guy Wario. It's new adventure is a game, inside a game made of over 200 other crazy mini-games... with multiple characters and modes. You can't miss it.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare is back at square one with a brand new, funny chapter that re-elaborates the original concept, with a multi-player and multi-characters twist.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! gets back to basics. It throws out the controller gimmicks of old, but brings in the added layer of quirky character abilities that brilliantly manage to work with every single one of the moreish microgame mayhem that this series is so well known for. Oh, and it makes for a great party game too!
-
Sep 8, 2021We have had a great time with Get it Together!, a new entry that manages to successfully refresh the series while keeping it true to itself.
-
Sep 8, 2021There is chaos and then there is WarioWare. It has been years since the franchise brought out its latest offering, but that is all changing in 2021. WarioWare is back and better than ever thanks to its Nintendo Switch debut. And if you thought Wario's gang couldn't get wackier, you thought wrong.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together's lively visuals are temporarily engaging, but this candy shell has a hollow center; like any sugary snack, the experience doesn't stick with you. As soon as I'd wrapped Get It Together's brief single-player campaign, I was content to move onto something else. These microgames are a nice treat if you're in an eccentric mood, but these miniature experiences only offer short-lived joy.
-
Game World Navigator MagazineOct 22, 2021There are plenty of unusual or downright bizarre situations in Get It Together microgames: for example, you might need to shave the armpits of a statue of Zeus when all you have is a robo-singer. But every game lasts only a few seconds, so no matter how weird it is, it never outstays its welcome. [Issue#255, p.64]
-
CD-ActionJan 19, 2022WarioWare: Get It Together is a fantastic assortment of tiny experiences that add up to create a huge festival of awesomeness. Add cool multiplayer and co-op and you’ve got a seriously fun game distinctively different from Mario Party. [12/2021, p.60]
-
Nintendo Force MagazineNov 8, 2021If you're looking to get the most enjoyment out of this title, it's best to play with family or invite a bunch of friends over – it's a solid collection for get-togethers, but lacking in the solo play department. [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 74]
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare returns while maintaining its trademark quality standards, but without reaching the heights of excellence of previous entries. The addition of multiple characters with their own mechanics is a welcome addition, adding unpredictability and preventing memorising micro-games from ruining the challenge in the long run. Every run is different. However, neither the selection of microgames nor the final bosses are as brilliant as they once were, and the difficulty is noticeably reduced. The multiplayer mode is its greatest asset, multiplying the hours ad infinitum; coupled with online leaderboards. And again, it is a lesson on how to combine fun without time to think. Irreverence for flag.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! provides casual fun with countless microgames, which nevertheless run out of steam in the long term.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! knows how to give a fresh twist to the now well-known microgame series with a new way of controlling. The enormous amount of microgames are again quite bizarre, although not every microgame is equally successful. Especially in multiplayer, the story mode is very entertaining, which makes it a shame that it only supports two players.
-
Sep 8, 2021Perhaps its beauty, however, is right there, in its hit & run irreverence like the sudden appearance of a colorful artificial fire in the shape of poop.
-
Sep 8, 2021I'm grateful that another Wario game even exists, and WarioWare: Get It Together! is going to be a hit for a lot of people who are already dedicated to this special brand of weird.
-
Sep 15, 2021WarioWare: Get it Together! retains its easy to pick up and hard to master nature while adding a bit of a challenging element through its newly implemented characters. However, this can work against it as the layer of complexity may alienate fans who want to optimize their performance because of the way some characters are designed.
-
Sep 8, 2021Wario Ware: Get it together delivers a nice bunch of characters within fast paced and creative mini games and challenges. But especially for solo players the game will run out of air in just a few hours. Even with co-op and competitive modes included, the game does not offer long term fun like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or funracer king Mario Kart 8 do.
-
Oct 28, 2021The WarioWare series finally lands on the Nintendo Switch and not a moment too soon. Get It Together! brings us a collection of 200 new microgames that feature everything that made the other WarioWare games memorable, this time with an additional story mode as well as a series of weekly online challenges that will reward the players. Zany, fun and long-lasting, WarioWare: Get It Together! is an absolute blast, whether on solo or with friends.
-
Oct 6, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together offers a twist to the renowned wacky series of fast and tricky mini games. This time around, you will be controlling many of the well known characters the series has spawned over the years, with each and every single one of them being unique when it comes to the way you control them. Some aspects of the game seem redundant and misplaced, but the meat of the game still is as enjoyable and funny as the series has always been.
-
Oct 1, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is a fast-paced game whose latest changes have created a ton of replay value. Challenge your brain, put your reaction time to the test and get some friends together for some classic fun with this legendary Nintendo character.
-
Sep 17, 2021Get It Together is a valuable addition and features several of the best minigames of the WarioWare franchise. However, being forced to switch characters with different abilities can be annoying and sometimes success depends more on luck than your expertise.
-
Sep 16, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is a great party game that will be especially entertaining for co-op players. Some of the game modes force you to play certain characters, but those can be easily avoided if you don't enjoy them.
-
Sep 15, 2021WarioWare: Get it Together! gracefully continues the series tradition by mixing brash presentation with great arcade collidoscope of ideas that feels extremely fun both at loud parties or all alone by yourself.
-
Sep 15, 2021WarioWare: Get it Together! has some of the best microgames in the series, all of which carry on the zany heart of the WarioWare franchise. The multiplayer modes and weekly challenges add a lot of replayability, making it great for killing a few minutes with friends. But when it comes to adding its own twist to the series, Get it Together‘s constant switching out of characters just doesn’t mesh well with the WarioWare formula that we know and love. That, along with the disappointing lack of much of the comedic dialogue we’ve seen from previous games, hold it back from being Wario’s best. But it still promises a fun time whenever you have a few minutes to spare.
-
Sep 14, 2021It's all fun and games until it stop because the game is just so short. Wario Ware: Get it Together! is a good new entry for newcomers, and just enough to calm down the fans, but let's not wait another 15 years for the next one, please?
-
Sep 14, 2021Still, as a multiplayer romp, WarioWare: Get It Together is a great game to bust out and if you're pressed on time, that's even better! Just don't expect this to be your go-to game for nights in with your buddies.
-
Sep 13, 2021Ultimately? WarioWare: Get It Together! is a fine enough game, if you come in with the proper expectations. It’s full of whimsy. The character gimmick is fun. It shines when you play with a local pal. But its limitations mark a trend for Nintendo. It appears that the publisher’s response to rising development costs is to cut corners on its lesser-selling franchises. With Get It Together! and Mario Golf: Super Rush both feeling a bit half-baked, we worry that the company’s tradition of over-delivering in scope and extras might increasingly be a memory.
-
Sep 13, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is exactly what fans of the series will be expecting. It’s a brand new mix on the familiar formula that allows players to try out brand new microgames in fully new ways in addition to teaming up with a friend if they so desire to challenge and compete with one another. WarioWare at its core is very much a title for people who love competition and getting the top score, and doesn’t have as much to do for those who don’t have a friend to play with or want to get a bigger number over the others, but it’s still fun to pick up and enjoy all it has to offer along the way. It would be nice if we’d seen a few old modes return from previous titles, but a great amount has been added that makes it feel like an entirely new experience mixed in with old concepts. There’s nothing quite like WarioWare, and it’s great to have Get It Together! on Switch as the latest entry in the crazy series that keeps on delivering.
-
Sep 10, 2021The same weird microgame madness as usual. But the new character concept is not a good fit. There definitely is some party fun to be found, but it doesn't last too long.
-
Sep 8, 2021I love WarioWare: Get it Together for bringing this charming series back into the limelight. It introduces a bunch of excellent new microgames and a huge selection of returning characters I was so happy to see, yet the short campaign and lacking amount of extras can make the overall package feel underwhelming. Unless you’ve loved the series for decades, this one might be hard to recommend until the game is subject to a discount or two.
-
Sep 8, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together! is an absurd delight, testing your ability to think quickly and adapt on the fly in a series of ever-escalating microgames. That tried-and-true formula is still a lot of fun here, looking better than ever and introducing unique characters that can either bring interesting twists or mechanical frustration to familiar games depending on who you’re using. It’s a shame that Get It Together!’s multiplayer options somewhat drop the ball though, enough for an evening or two of laugh-out-loud fun with friends but lacking the staying power for many more beyond that.
-
Gameblog.frSep 8, 2021Despite a certain lack of inspiration, the WarioWare company keeps having some ambition, potentially less lucrative than its greedy owner's. Thus Get It Together! favors efficiency over quantity with microgames by focusing on gameplay, customized for each - henceforth playable - character in order to provide different ways to play, yet in teams. The Switch's technological functions are therefore limited to the detachable controllers, a not so audacious approach for the franchise, contrary to the choice of such heterogeneous protagonists, reflecting the decidedly varied modes. Whether innovative or harebrained, this convivial evolution surely follows Wario's philosophy as a gambler.
-
Sep 8, 2021I did hope for a little bit more from this Switch title; WarioWare: Gold for the 3DS seemed to have better value with 100 more microgames, full voice acting, and a lower price tag. The Switch game just feels like it's missing something. However, WarioWare: Get It Together! is simply fun. It's an entertaining game to play in short bursts when you have some downtime or when you're in the mood for something a little zanier.
-
Sep 8, 2021The strong point of this WarioWare is ultimately its solo.
-
Sep 14, 2021Is he nice again, this WarioWare? Yes, he is, but after eight previous WarioWare games, the surprise or feeling of playing something truly new has evaporated. And for a full priced game, the fun is just over too quickly.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Feb 18, 2022Get It Together! is a good game, when you have only a few minutes to play, and if you turn on the game for a while every day, it will probably satisfy you for a long time. Unfortunately, it is not for any longer and more thorough playing.
-
Sep 28, 2021WarioWare's back with an initially enjoyable title filled to the brim with minigames. After a couple of hours, however, you'll notice that this new iteration doesn't really have a lot to offer. Boring bossfights and a lack of minigame variation make for an ultimately unworthy addition to the franchise.
-
Sep 14, 2021At best, WarioWare: Get It Together! is a welcome return of Nintendo’s subversive anti-hero in a series that delights in being weird, hilarious, and taps into the purity of gaming five seconds at a time. Yet while there are plenty of laughs and Nintendo nuggets to be enjoyed, incorporating in-game characters turn its microgames into awkward platforming jobs dulls the game’s edges, while the lack of any unique Switch gimmicks makes this feels the safest and least inventive entry in the series.
-
Sep 13, 2021WarioWare: Get It Together's character-swapping gimmick adds unnecessary confusion to a perfectly enjoyable microgame collection.
-
Sep 8, 2021Microgame madness marred by overcomplications, WarioWare: Get It Together dissolves the fun with frustration.
-
Sep 8, 2021The least interesting WarioWare entry so far, with overcomplicated multiplayer characters and microgames that seem to have lost their sense of manic invention.
-
Sep 8, 2021The Switch games attraction is the same as it’s always been for the WarioWare series – personality, replayability and humour – with the added bonus of a strong multiplayer suite. Its latest gimmick isn’t as strong as in previous entries, but it’s not enough to spoil the throwaway fun.
-
Sep 21, 2021Get It Together! feels like a WarioWare D.I.Y. project that never got finished. As far as I can tell, there’s no mode or method for just playing a random assortment of all 220 or so microgames, in single or multiplayer. The Story mode arranges them in groups of approximately 23 around a set theme, such as “Nintendo Classics” and “That’s Life,” and in solo play that’s about it, especially given how the single-player options in Variety Pack are pretty joyless and feature no microgames at all. For those who are able to find another player or three, Get It Together! offers some decent value, but so much of the side content just isn’t compelling enough to justify a purchase, and it’s hard not to see the Switch’s WarioWare game as another Game & Wario, where the schtick is all there is. At the end of the day, Get It Together! hasn’t even heeded its own admonition. Ironically, the absence of any meaningful online experience means that most will be left to “get it together” on their own.

Sep 8, 2021A fun collection of microgames that adds an interesting story mode and a big roaster of playable characters. If you love the WarioWare series, this is one of the most inventive entries ever made. [Recommended]

Sep 8, 2021A certain party-playing crowd will overcome the awkward bits and have a blast. Most won't. Rent, don't buy.

Sep 8, 2021There's lovely stuff here, enough to offer that potholing sense of antic richness which is always part of the WarioWare deal. What words to use for a game like this? Capsule toys abound in the menus, as ever, but what this really reminds me of is the days when cereal used to come with a little plastic doodad of some kind in it to tempt you to buy it, and you'd buy it and then thrust your hand down into the packet, past the crispies or flakes or whatever they were, with no idea quite what delight you would find. Brilliant! And in WarioWare's case, panic inducing. But in a good way. [Recommended]

Sep 10, 2021Playing WarioWare reminds me how, and why, I became a critic. It was by playing hundreds of games for two hours each, regardless of tone or genre. My grandmother, and her parallel love of movies, let me touch an entire Family Video’s worth of weird and messy art. My colleague John Walker recently asked if there’s any kind of video game I don’t play, and I told him no, there isn’t. Games I don’t like are still interesting, and still worth my time and energy.

Sep 8, 2021WarioWare has always succeeded because it’s weird and easy to pick up. WarioWare: Get It Together! is loaded with the same silly charm, charisma, and random nonsense as the rest of the series. Tonally, it’s exactly what I want from the Wario branch of Nintendo. But Get It Together! gets in its own way, and mitigates one of the series’ best features: simplicity.
