Review for WarioWare Gold. Nintendo 3DS game, the video game was released on 27/07/2018 The version for 3DS came out on 02/08/2018
When the original WarioWare was released in 2003, the project seemed like it came out of some crazy mind. The pre-release screenshots showed robot versions of Mario fighting Bowser alongside an image of fingers flying towards an open pair of nostrils. Since that time, the WarioWare saga has always been strange and joyful, and WarioWare Gold completes its story to the best of its ability by offering both old and new minigames, thus resulting not just a simple collection, but a real new chapter.
Naively aided by his historians and new friends, Wario organizes a videogame-themed competition to make his fortune. The texture of the brand new Wario Ware Gold is simple but functional. Each friend offers us their own idea of minigames, at the end of which we should face the boss stage to complete the challenges. While not having played all three hundred mini-games, we can safely say that the experience that comes out of it is incredibly unique.
If, like us, you are a bit old and have been lucky enough to play the Wario Ware saga, especially Wario Ware Touched! for Nintendo DS, you will understand what we are talking about.
WarioWare Gold takes us along a path full of madness, nostalgia and above all through the history of Nintendo. We will go from crazy racing on Mario Kart's Rainbow Track to strategic planning in Fire Emblem, to the mini-games proposed in Brain Training to having to rescue a baby Mario on Yoshi's island.
The controls are divided between movement, physical and tactile, always being fun despite each minigame lasting only a few seconds, highlighting the full potential of our Nintendo 3DS.
As the story progresses, not only will we unlock the minigames of the various characters, but we will also earn coins that will allow us to buy rewards. These prizes are nothing more than fun items or games; for example in "Wario draws Amiibo" we should support one of our heroes on the 3DS and Wario will reproduce it on the screen, or we can find Nintendo icons such as the GBA or others, of which we could read the most important information such as the release date.
In practice, a bit like the library in Super Smash Bros, or as another alternative we will win strange objects, which I do not want to reveal anything about so as not to spoil the fun, which will make you smile more than once.
Surely, however, the most striking novelty of Wario Ware Gold is the presence of the fully dubbed movies, yes, even Wario! At first glance hearing our "hero" speak like one of us made us turn up our noses a bit, but overall the result is a character with an even clearer personality, and the same can be said of the other protagonists of the game.
As this is a WarioWare title, Nintendo also allows us to use the microphone built into the 3DS to voice the characters in the various animated shorts of the story.
Whether you are big or small, casual or passionate gamer, WarioWare Gold is a great remedy for your stress, a fun and fast game that will make you good company. It may not please everyone who is still waiting for the series on Nintendo Switch, but still it remains a valid reason to brush up on our 3DS and get lost in the total madness of Nintendo.
Finally, remember that if for some reason you are not yet convinced of the purchase, you can download the game demo on the eShop.
The WarioWare saga has always been a fantastic oddity in Nintendo's library, and collecting a lot of what made the franchise so famous in one large collection is a great idea. For anyone new to WarioWare, this is a great place to start. For veterans, this chapter has more than enough new content to be sure of buying.
