Game and Wario review

A Wii U exclusive already available in Japan but to be released elsewhere by the end of this month. This game involves extensive use of the gamepad, even more so than Nintendo Land.

Gameplay consists of 16 mini-games which all take the most advantage of the Wii U Gamepad without any need for a Wii remote. Four of them however are multiplayer only. I love how these games exercise the Wii U Gamepad's full potential and never fail to be creative. There's also 'Cluck a Pop' capsule where you collect nick nacks and extra minigames provided you have tokens available. Some games are harder or easier than others to understand and they all depend on the challenge the game has to offer. Each mini-game is hosted by different characters. Controls for each game vary with some seeming easy and other feeling harder.

How do graphics fit in? Well, the graphics follows a cel-shaded style plus 3D graphics model and look pretty great. These graphics remind me of the leap Nintendo made with the Wii U and how the graphics make 2007 Wii games look as old as a 2002 PlayStation 2 game. The design is themed around the Wario franchise. What this game is themed around is a parody of the Nintendo Wii U which is a Gamepad controller that prides itself as having Two screens, with one being tablet and the other being the TV of course.

What this game's rating comes down to is a 89/100.
