WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania (Switch): COMPLETED!

  / / / / Leave a comment

Nintendo added a load of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games to their online subscription service this week, and although I’m hyped to get to play through The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap I’m leaving that until I’m done with Fire Emblem Warriors. In the meantime, however, I thought I’d play this. It’s… very easy, isn’t it? Have I really remembered how to play every single minigame, accurately and with skill, from 20 years ago? To the point …

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / / Leave a comment

I got this with some of my Club Nintendo stars. RIP Club Nintendo, by the way. I struggled with what to spend them on before they expired, and of the number I had left Wario Land 3 was the only one I didn’t already have on either my 3DS or Wii U that I hadn’t already completed. I do have it on the Game Boy Colour, but never finished it. About three levels in, I realised something was amiss. Not …

WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania (3DS): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Back in the day, I completed this on the GBA. But that was about 8 years ago, and it is such a good game that I really got into playing it again when I got it for free on my 3DS. It is still excellent, and still the best Wario Ware title. Not that the others were bad – just that this one is the most pure. Or something. Completed it today, and found it far easier than I remember …

Wario Land 3 (GBC)

  / Leave a comment

This is really more than a bit good, isn’t it? I mean, it’s a bit like Mario 64 in that each level has to be completed multiple times to get different treasures in different ways, but obviously in 2D. And it’s more puzzley. But the idea is still the same. I’ve collected about half the treasures so far, and opened up quite a few levels meaning I was wrong with the 4-levels-per-world statement in my last post. At least one …

Wario Land 3 (GBC)

Hello! No, I’m not dead. I’ve just had no time to game, no unpacked consoles to game on, and no internet access to update my diary even if I did have both of those. For reasons I don’t really understand, I started playing this yesterday. On an actual Game Boy Colour as well! How exciting! I’d never played it before, but have played, and completed, the second and fourth games in the series and enjoyed them. This is more like …

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Wii): COMPLETED!

  / 3 Comments

It’s my birthday today, and one of my presents was this from my wife. And very most ace it is too. So ace, in fact, that I sat down and completed it. Of course, I haven’t even attempted the high scores or unlocked half of the minigames, but I did get the end sequence. I think I like this more than Touched, as there’s a lot more variety to the games. Some of them are totally inspired too, like the …

Wario: Master of Disguise (DS)

  / Leave a comment

Yes. The reviews are a little off-putting, but I’d tried the Japanese version a while ago and enjoyed it, so I bought the US version a while back and it arrived today. It’s better than I remember, mainly because I actually some idea of what is going on. Wario enters TV programme, steals magic wand owned by master thief, become a thief himself, and can transform using different disguises that give him different powers. So far, I have the thief …
