WarioWare: Get It Together! (Switch)
While I will still forever and always prefer the unadulterated simplicity of the original WarioWare game on GBA, it's still always a good time seeing how they manage to keep the series fresh entry after entry, and this one was no exception. Actually controlling the characters was a nice touch, and it was fun seeing who I really enjoyed playing as (some of my favorites were Wario, Ashley, Cricket, Mona, 5-Volt, and Mike; some of my least-favorites were Penny, Red, Dribble, and 18-Volt). I got unlucky a lot of the time and kept drawing characters that were the among the worst possible choices for any given Microgame, and some Microgames were so quick that I hardly ever figured out exactly what I was doing, but the latter is kind of an inherent flaw with such a fast-paced game and has happened to me to at least some noticeable degree in every game I've played in the series beyond the original. Another flaw was the one-hit-death on the final boss. That one took me a good number of tries (especially since it required some degree of mastery over every character, including the ones I hated). I refused to ever use continues because that's sissy stuff in something like this. But overall the experience was very fun, as I expected. I knew going in that the story mode would be very short but this series always provides excellent replay value, which I'd already begun to take advantage of even before finishing the story (I got a lot of play out of the Nintendo Classics category, which has always been my favorite). I liked the chibi artstyle, and having more dialogue than most games in the series allowed for these eccentric personalities to shine more so than usual. Even as a not-full-priced game I still think $50 might be a little much for this, but I understand you gotta pay that first-party Nintendo tax and this is unlikely to drop in price soon if ever. If you're willing to fork it over though, or get it as a gift, I'll go ahead and stamp the darkx seal of approval on this one.
