Wario Ware's GameCube Insanity Probed

Posted by simoniker on from the it's-a-me dept.

Thanks to 1UP for their impressions of the GameCube Japanese import, Atsumare! Made in Wario, the budget-price multiplayer conversion of Nintendo's popular/crazy mini-game fest, Wario Ware Inc. for Game Boy Advance. The reviewer makes the context clear: "This isn't the sequel to Wario Ware. It isn't even Wario Ware 1.5. It's just a multiplayer version of Wario Ware", but nonetheless raves: "It's a total blast to play, even if you've spent months playing through the GBA game and perfecting your scores on all the microgames." IGN Cube also have hands-on impressions of the game's many multiplayer modes, which even allow "...up to 16 players to compete on an alternating basis", while 1UP mention U.S. availability for Wario Ware GC is likely, but not yet confirmed.

    For more Made in Wario screenshots and news bits take a look at this search listing. There's even a Made in Wario official site. We'll see if the game does as well as the original. Perhaps if it sells for $30 or so that will make it well worth the purchase.

    Wario Ware is fun, but I don't like the ugly characters. I think it would be more interesting with Mario and other cute characters.

  3. Fun indeed by Rudy+Rodarte · · Score: 2, Informative

    The only time I've played this game is at Target and it was a blast. My wife was browsing for about half an hour or so, and I didnt notice at all. That game is insanely fun and insanely addictive!! I hope the the GCN version is just as crazy/fun.
