Ever since its first title 20 years ago, the WarioWare franchise has shapeshifted to take advantage of the capabilities and gimmicks of whatever the current Nintendo platform was. But the first entry on Switch, Get It Together, bucked that trend, putting you in control of the actual cast of characters in platforming-style microgames instead of taking advantage of the Switch\u2019s unique traits. WarioWare: Move It aligns more with the traditional WarioWare experience, resulting in a better overall collection.<\/p>\n

Move It takes the core tenants of the WarioWare franchise and cranks them up to 11. Players must learn various forms using two individual Joy-Con controllers, then complete rapid-fire microgames \u2013 three-to-five-second minigames that rely on your on-the-fly reactions to complete. As you progress through a session, the difficulty of each game and the speed at which they fly at you increases, creating an ever more frantic experience.<\/p>\n

First Things First<\/h2>\n

WarioWare: Move It lets you play through various microgames using two Joy-Con controllers. If you\u2019re like me, you haven\u2019t used the Joy-Con wrist straps since you opened your Switch. That means the first thing you will need to do is find the wrist straps for your Joy-Cons, as several forms and microgames require them for specific actions.<\/p>\n

I love the diversity of microgames on display. One second, I\u2019m holding my arms out, clanking drinks with people at a party, then a moment later, I\u2019m holding my Joy-Cons like an umbrella to protect a woman from getting soaked in a rainstorm before raising my arms to pick a giant nose. The irreverent humor fans have come to expect is in full effect with Move It, as is the creativity.<\/p>\n

The forms allow you to properly position yourself for the upcoming minigame, but some are less developed than others. The \u201cHand Model\u201d pose is confusing, as you must drop one Joy-Con, then move the other to the now-empty hand to pull off gestures with the other hand; even after completing the story mode, I still struggled to position myself correctly for this form in time thanks to the rapid-fire structure. It\u2019s disappointing this form is so complicated to set up since several of my favorite microgames are a part of it. Another one, \u201cBa-KAW,\u201d has you pose like a chicken and features the broadest mix of excellent and frustrating games. However, my least favorite activity is a long-form boss level that involves flipping steaks; I failed multiple times because it doesn\u2019t consistently register unless you make overly exaggerated motions timed to when the meat is moving by you on a conveyor belt.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Move It\u2019s library is full of oddball games I consistently looked forward to. On multiple occasions, I smirked or outright said, \u201cThat was so cool,\u201d after experiencing a novel microgame for the first time. However, a few of them don\u2019t quite land, as imprecise motion controls lead to frustrating failures, while others aren\u2019t descriptive enough for you to reasonably understand what you need to do in the short window you have to do it. Thankfully, if you run out of hearts, you can continue by performing a \u201cSacred Pose,\u201d which is essentially a goofy version of a yoga stance, to earn a continue.<\/p>\n

Working through the hundreds of microgames is fun, but as always, it\u2019s better with friends. WarioWare: Move It harkens back to one of the better entries in the series, the motion-controlled WarioWare: Smooth Moves for Wii. That entry was one of my go-to party games, and I had similar hopes for Move It.<\/p>\n
