    Wario's hyperactive pace has been excised and his games expanded, which only highlights the dearth of compelling gameplay therein. A thin offering whatever the price, Game & Wario will only appeal to those with anterograde amnesia, and Pictionary fans.

    Game & Wario is a poor mix of many bad concepts, half-assed ideas and a boring gameplay. There are a few great minigames in play here, but they are not enough to carry the game above it’s mediocrity.

    It aims to dethrone Nintendo Land as the Wii U party game of choice, but the end result is a pixelated manifestation of an opportunity ignored.

    It's disappointing to see the once confidently subversive Wario brand perverted into a desperate, flailing mess like Game & Wario.

    A horribly disappointing mini-game collection that has none of the qualities of the real WarioWare titles and won’t entertain even the most game-starved Wii U owner for more than an hour or so.

The same personality ofWhile technically not a WarioWare game, it exists in the same universe. And in that respect, its a bit of a let down. The same personality of a WarioWare game is there, and that's really the best part. MicroGames are replaced with significantly less MiniGames which can only be played alone. While some games, such as Taxi, are standouts most seem uninspired and dull and simply not fun, more of a chore to play. The potential is there, so here's to the hope that a traditional WarioWare game makes it into this generation of gaming.… Full Review »
