The fact this thread has been abandoned with no posts at all makes me sad.

Is the heavier focus on multiplayer really that off-putting for people?

I played it and enjoyed it, like I do all WW, but Dread is taking up all my headspace right now lol

WarioWare was a very pleasant way to spend September. After Gold brought back the best of the old, I appreciate the new direction this entry got. It's missing some of the presentation and bonuses of prior games, but I still had a great time with it!

I'll probably be playing it less since October is a busy gaming month, but I'll be popping in for Wario Cups and slowly clearing out high scores and missions.

 

[AliceAbstract]

Ran through it on multiplayer with my sibling in one day and it was amazing! Excellent experience and I have zero regrets purchasing it. The bit with Penny was a pleasant surprise (and that song is a heck of an ear worm) not to mention she feels, imo, like the best character, even if she is tricky to use in the beginning.

That said, I feel as if I understand the lack of continuing conversation about the game, as I don't find myself going back for high scores in the individual micro games like I did in past entries - even though there's more fun/randomness to be had thanks to being able to play through any game/stage as the whole company crew. I thought the bonus games this time around were fun too, but the best ones also benefit from multiplayer. (Although props for including two different and terribly silly Smash-esque micro games amongst them.)

...Also, are Spitz and Ana just destined to fall to the bottom of the rankings thanks to being locked to second player? Ah well, at least my Ana can maintain her 100% win rate this way...

 

[MissingNo.]

The current Wario Cup where you are controlling two Pyoro simultaneously is brutal, lmao.
I was doing well and then suddenly it just kept falling apart.

Pyo!

Good game. Big fan of all the WarioWares and the main gameplay gimmick is a great idea, was a good way to shake things up. Going through trying to get all the achievements, need to finish the score requirements for the minigames towers.

Still have no clue what we t wrong with the game's presentation though. We went from Gold having substantial, fully voice-acted cutscenes to GIT not even having ending cutscenes and the opening cutscenes being abridged as fuck. Feels like they had less of a budget somehow, when it should've been the opposite.

 

[Clix]

Fantastic game. But I binged it job stop the first four days and had to get back to NTWEWY. I want to go back to it because I still have to do some unlocks and want to do the challenges.

At first I struggled a bit with the various control schemes but then when I hit my groove I ended up loving it. Second favorite entry behind Gold.

Big same to the bolded. Such a delightful treat, even if the track has refused to leave my brain for nearly a month now. I want it in Smash, lol.

Spoiler: Postgame Song Discussion

I also really love how it has different variants of the song depending on if you win or lose the Microgames in Penny's Mix. The "bad" lyrics do a good job of remaining in character too!

I'm very of two minds when it comes to Get it Together's story. On one hand, the voice acting is sorely missed, along with the ending cutscenes to the stories. On the the other hand, the fact that the storyline involves the crew interacting with each other almost all the time was a nice change of pace that made them feel more like friends. Wish we got the best of both worlds there, but alas.

 

[bellydrum]

Wario cup keeps pulling me back in to this game. It's furiously addicting

 

[dkeane]

Yup, I like the weekly challenges. I just have too many games to play so after beating the main story I use it ass filler when I only have a couple minutes.
Really wish the Switch had a quick resume feature, it would be perfect for this and Animal Crossing.

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

Feels like that's the trouble with daily/weekly things. There's only so much time, and there are so many things competing for that time. Having unique challenges for each week is ambitious, but with so much going on it'll be tough for me to keep up.

In retrospect, procrastinating on playing Samus Returns until this week was...a mistake.

Agreed. The crew interaction scenes were nice, but I don't know why they included normal opening cutscenes for the levels but not endings.

 

[Theorymon]

Here's my current score with this week's Wario Cup. I think there's some room for improvement. Should note that my Pyoro is level 40 currently.

This is a pretty hard Wario Cup, but it's also my favorite so far, because it forces you to radically change your approach to microgames in a way other modes don't. Sorta akin to Wario Ware Gold's wacky side modes in a way, which was one of my few big issues with this game, but it seems like the wacky side stuff is hidden behind Wario Cup!

By the way, something that is helpful for every Wario Cup: I'd suggest remaping start to Y. Pausing is actually one of your most valuable resources for score chasing in any Wario Ware game, since it gives you valuable time to think, and you can pause a lot in quick succession for microgames that require more thought to them.

 

[CMM1215]

I've been enjoying this game a LOT. The characters add a lot of diversity to the microgames, and the weekly Wario Cups are an absolute treat!

 

[CornyShiba]

Loving GIT so far, but I haven't tried the multiplayer games yet.

 

[Donnie]

Oh my god this Pyoro weekly challenge, I'm dying here haha it's brilliant. I feel like this is a game I'd struggle to post or say much about here on Fami but also I think it's wonderful. It's exactly what it promises and great for it

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

I feel like not putting any time into the Pyoro mini games in the previous WarioWare games put me at a disadvantage in this week's challenge. Still, I got to A rank unlike last week, so I can't complain much!

 

[Legion of Primes]

I need to get around to picking it up. The impressions in the old Nintendo thread on the old place got me wanting to check it out sometime

The only WarioWare game I played before this was Smooth Moves, and this game is already looking to oust it from the top spot. I definitely think you'd enjoy it given the chance.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know how to run the online multiplayer? A friend of mine and I were trying to figure it out last night but it didn't seem to be quite so clear cut on how to start it, or even unlock it if necessary

 

[WonderLuigi]

It's pretty great. Gold still takes it for the better fundamentals, let's say, but as a co-op game???? Perhaps the best on Switch

I might get it. I have a few other things to play right now so I don't want to add too much on me. I probably will later in the month or next month

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think there is actual online multi after the story you can log your score on Wario Cup and compare friend scores that way but I thiiiink that's it. All the other stuff you see is local only.

Ah damn, was afraid of that. Thanks for the heads up though! We were so confused though and thought it was just because I haven't unlocked much in story mode at the time and the back of the box says compatible with NSO haha

It's a bummer lol my partner is super into Nintendo games generally and will normally play things with me but I'm SOL with Warioware lol I'd love for there to be some sort of online component to play with folks!

 

[Harpoon]

Over a month later and I am still loving this game tremendously. The multiplayer modes are really fun when you can get people together for them, and I think the Wario Cups will keep me playing for the next year. I hope we get more like the double Pyoro one, because as frustrating as it was, it also so addicting to play.

 

[Semajer]

Are there any videos yet of someone getting a good score on the newest cup? I did pretty well and ended up at only B rank.

Somebody on my friends list got under 28 seconds within the first day and I was dumbfounded. I barely got into A rank and I don't know how much better I can optimize it.

My next best just gets me into A at nearly 29 seconds, I think. I hope a bunch of chumps show up this next week with weak scores to keep me in A rank.

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

This week's was interesting, playing as characters with slightly awkward movement for the games provided. My time was 0:30.50, right at the cusp of B and A, but there's room for improvement here. Gonna aim for that A Rank!

EDIT: I'm getting some pretty big variance on the NSMBU microgame. My first run had a layout that took like 3 seconds to clear, but one layout I could clear in about a second. Accounting for me just not being all that great at the microgame, I think that will affect times a lot.

EDIT 2: Got a 0:28:60 attempt - got a better NSMBU and overall better play, but I did much worse on Appealing Mask. Still, that's a safe A Rank for the time being!

 

[Harpoon]

I got silver on the latest cup pretty quickly, but gold feels like it's going to take some work.

I got silver quickly and was like "shit I need to do it in 20 seconds less??" But then I just kept playing and got it without much effort eventually with 4 seconds to spare. I think it's more about luck than anything else once you already know how to approach each level.

I love these weekly challenges though, I always go back to the game to complete them and work a bit more on the other missions too. I predict I will be doing this for a long time, it's really fun.

I got it without doing anything too special, I think luck counts a lot. Just try to be laser precise in the easier microgames and try and hope for the best in the most difficult ones (the one that gave me most trouble was the pop the balloon with Jimmy). You will get it eventually.
