WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$!

Here's the deal! Deviously greedy and filthy "baddie" Wario has crammed hundreds of the best games in the video biz into this one Game Boy Advance game!It's legit--he's not cheating THIS time!

See, MORE is what it's all about and Wario has figured that he'll wow you with hundreds of micro-sized games that have to be finished fast! This way, HE can be king of the frantic video games by showing off his over 200 fast-paced games and reeling in the big-time dough.

Thing is, Wario is too cheap to pay for costly software development, and he's using you and some strange developers in Diamond City's production team like Dr. Crygor, Dribble & Spitz, Mona, Kat & Ana and more to mega mass produce this game into fistfuls of cash....FOR HIM! You and his friends do the work, WARIO makes the money. Makes CENTS? If Wario has his way, he'll be sitting on a mountain of cash in this ca$h cow of a business! A penny for YOUR thoughts? Not if Wario has his way! They don't call it Diamond City for nothing!

These mini-games (aka money grubbing adventures) cover all the bases. Very simplistic to play--you can only use the A Button and the + Control pad to power up the games, which last for a few seconds or a minute or so. Retro classics, sports, sci-fi shooters, and more! Remember, they are bizarre (to say the least!) and definitely wacky crazy.

Included with the game is a fun-filled Instructional Booklet, which has two pages of mini Wario stickers in it and some game tips, too! There's even a couple of mini-games in the booklet to play when your parents take the GBA away from you. Word of advice: play WarioWare, Inc. on your summer vacation and stick by your parents' rules. I know it's hard to break away from these games, but your parents are always right. There are other things to do this summer besides GBA. In fact, you might even let your parents try their hands on these games (they won't stand a chance!). Read the latest Harry Potter book or go take a hike. Give your parents the GBA and this game to borrow and you just may be surprised who gets addicted to YOUR game! As a rule, kids are superior at these games, so don't worry if your parents borrow your game for awhile. They may even appreciate your hard work and gaming skills after that! It might buy you more gaming time, if you're lucky. Then again, they may like it so much that you'll never get to play it again. Go with best case scenario!

Here's what my 11-year-old game pro tester, Tim, said about WarioWare, Inc.:

"WarioWare, Inc. is all about mini-games. Wario wants to make a video game and he wants you to play it first. You play game tester and well, I know what that's like! In each level, there are at least 20 mini-games, but there are more in each level. There are 10 stages or fun mini-games about various things.

Some games unlock special mini-games if you achieve a certain score. The challenging part of this game is that the games have no instructions and you just have to guess how to play!

You can play the games you've already won on the Grid. If you can win a certain number of mini-games on the grid, you score a ribbon. What happens when you get all the ribbons? Keep playing to find out!

You'll meet up with the entire Wario cast including Wario "The Greedy Punk", Jimmy T. the disco dancer "Who Dances The Night Away" with the biggest sports games in town, 9 Volt, an old grade schooler who is obsessed with retro classics Nintendo games, Mona who is interesting and savvy (she games and scoops at the Gelateria), Dribble and Spitz, the reckless go boom cab driver team who dabble in sci-fi games, Dr. Crygor (watch out for his experiments and research labs--he's always looking for a few good guinea pigs), Orbulon (the intelligent life-form who thrives on challenging IQ games) and a couple of kindergartners who double as ninjas!

I really enjoyed playing WarioWare because it's a nice break from the RPGs (role-playing games) I play. It's also a very good arcade-like game for those who like high-paced games.

Another perfect score for Nintendo on this one. The Review Zone's 10 out of 10.Keep in coming FASTER!!!"
