Poll: What Review Score Would You Give WarioWare: Move It?

I found the motion controls to be unresponsive sometimes. Most notably, the control method with the IR camera was frustrating every time from my experience. The game barely gives you any time to prepare your hand to face the IR sensor, and the IR sensor itself may not even pick up on what you’re trying to do. It was also sometimes confusing on which direction or angle you were supposed to hold joycons in, as in face up or face down. Overall, Move It has good ideas, but if a veteran WarioWare player like me can get confused, then I don’t really think this should be someone’s first WarioWare game in my opinion. I beat the main story in a few hours and have no desire to keep playing, whereas I would play other installments like Twisted and Touched for longer. I give Move It a 6/10.

I just finished the story and have yet to do multiplayer. It is more of the same wacky fun and intensity that I expect from WarioWare. Smooth Moves is my favorite Wii game and this is a worthy successor to that. I appreciate how the microgames keep me on my toes and how creative they can be. Yeah, the motion controls can be a bit wonky at times, but I enjoy replaying games to improve for higher scores.

I’ve been playing it a lot, having finished the story and unlocking all the microgames and side games. No multiplayer yet though.

Controls can be iffy. Hand Model (IR Camera) pose has some issues with recognizing my fingers (the games that just involve you moving your hand left and right work well though). Squat position is probably the form that’s giving me the most grief.

But overall, this game’s microgames are fantastic, creative and kooky. It’s still getting away with alot of unique control types and outside the box ideas.

I just wish it had the online functions and replay value that Game & Wario, Gold and Get it Together have. Currency systems, toys, weekly online challenges, special artwork, cosmetics, achievements. Those features had a big part in me reaching approximately 100 hours of playtime in both Gold and Get it Together! individually. Move It! takes a few steps back to the older Wariowares in that regard.

So all things considered it’d probably be a 7 or 8, possibly a 9 with either fixed controls, or a slightly better grasp at them.

Easy 9/10 for me, I loved my experience with it greatly!

10/10. It's Warioware. I love it.

@OldGamer999 Yes, me. I’m UK too. Haven’t bought anything from the eShop in a while but I have been needing to buy NSO subscription cards online when it’s time to renew because it won’t accept my card on the store itself. Was always fine before.

I guess it’s a security measure but it’s seriously flawed because it just randomly decides to block my card for 30 days. I know other people with the same issue

@larryisaman
Thank you for reply.
I can’t at all buy on my Nintendo with my silver points things like the Mario wonder key ring as you have to pay £1.99 delivery and it won’t accept any cards.
I believe that Nintendo don’t deserve my business anymore as this a joke for a company this size
And you can’t use a credit card in Nintendo Store, My Nintendo or the e shop.
And they want me to buy a Switch 2 and cannot purchase anything on any stores, joke of company.

Needs more collectibles but 8/10

Seems like this just kind of brought attention to reviewbombing the game. I doubt anyone rating this below a 6/10 is all that serious, and the aggregate is suffering a lot for it

I'd give it an 8, I loved all the microgames, and it's a fun way to be at least a little bit active while gaming. I also wish there were more collectibles, and I'm not a big fan of some of the changes they made to the museum/mini game gallery, but overall I think it's a really solid entry in the WarioWare series. I've played every minigame and haven't had any issues with the motion controls. The IR camera can sometimes not register properly but usually it works fine, and I'm happy to finally see another game using the IR camera.

I haven't had a chance to sink as much time into it as I'd like. My copy didn't come in the mail until Monday, and on that same day I came down with flu-like symptoms uncluding a 101° fever, soreness, nausea, and diarrhea. So, needless to say, I wasn't exactly in the mood to flail my extremities around haphazardly. I tried to power through that evening and felt like my arms were going to fall off.

Edit: I should clarify for all you Bri'ish blokes that my fever of 101 is in degrees Farenheit. I'm not sure what that equates to in Celsius, but to put it into words you'll understand: "The lot o' me was feelin' quoite rubbish, so oye was." Hope that helps explain things.

@The_Pixel_King
How dare someone not like a Nintendo game, how dare they!

@blindsquirrel I think it's more a thing where giving a score of 1 is usually very unrealistic as even bad games usually have good stuff going for them that keeps them out of 1/10 territory.

@The_Pixel_King I rated it a 1 as I can't stand games that only let you play with the Joycons. Joycon only controls is abysmal to me.

@blindsquirrel It isn’t so much not liking it but using the review system incorrectly. It’s not like the game is crashing or buggy. The product itself from a code perspective is well made. I don’t like god of war games, but would never call any of them a 1. Probably a 6 or 7 which to me says the actual product is well made but not my cup of tea.

I think there needs to be a subjective scale so that people that dislike something because they dislike it even if the actual product is well made can vote without looking contrary for the sake of being contrary.

@John_Deacon
This is all in my own country and also my Switch OLED.
It’s terrible really and a shambles and blot on an amazing gaming company.
You can probably tell I’m really pissed with them and even considering leaving them and selling my Switch. If I can’t place a simple order on the eshop or my Nintendo Store.

@Clyde_Radcliffe
I hope you can get a refund!

It’s certainly not perfect, the controls can be a little fiddly from time to time, but hearing my wife cackle hysterically is worth the occasional setback for me. I’d rate Get it Together a 5, but this one is such a welcome return to the absurdity that makes the series tick that I’m giving it an 8. I’m getting older, so I haven’t been able to dig into it too deeply yet. My calves are still sore from all the fun we had on Saturday night. That’s my fault though. I need the exercise!

After Game & Wario and Get It Together, Move It is a beautiful return to form.
10/10 for me, might be better than Smooth Moves, but I'll need to get it out at a party to know for sure.

@whiskeydave Oh I loved Get It Together! I thought the multiple characters really freshened things up and I've played it for 35 hours.

It does kind of suck as a multiplayer game since the amount of characters was too much to take in for new players, but I've always preferred Warioware as a solo experience used for high score chasing. Trying to beat my previous score is really addictive for me. I love the Super Hard mode!

@OldGamer999 Have you checked with your bank/credit card company? Sometimes they will stop online purchases without telling you.

@Clyde_Radcliffe
See, that’s awesome in my opinion. I thought Get it Together was no fun, and at times I get cranky at Nintendo for “fixing” mechanics that weren’t broken in the first place (Starfox, anyone?) but we all have things we like for different reasons. For me, WarioWare is all about getting friends together and laughing our arses off at the ridiculousness. I love a high score chase myself, and these games have always supported that stance, but I like getting people that wouldn’t necessarily want to play a video game involved in the hilarity of it all. I also think the different stances with the controllers add to the frenetic pace much more than a few simple button presses. We’ve all got our preferences, but as much as I lament some of their design choices, I applaud them for mixing things up. I’d rather dislike an entry in a series than be bored to tears with a yearly reiteration. Some of my frustrations are actually my favorite things about Nintendo.

@LinktotheFuture
Tried that thank you and have ordered lots of stuff online from many stores including the other two gaming wise.
It seems a problem not just in the UK but USA as well as read on the internet.
Once in a blue moon as I have had a Switch since day one it works and also saves your card.
But say a few months this later it stops working and you are stuck again.
So that’s me stuffed for ordering digital games from the eshop or anything from my Nintendo store. I have had to use vouchers for the eshop to get Mario Wonder.
But you can’t use the vouchers on my Nintendo store in the UK but you can in the USA.
Might just the ditch Nintendo now as they can’t be bothered to sort it out, so why should I be bothered with them and their dis functioning service.

@Ryu_Niiyama @Yosher
That makes a lot of sense. I interpreted it wrong I guess.

As someone who can’t hold both joycons due to a disability it’s a shame to see another Nintendo game that I physically can’t play (unless theres an option to use a pro controller). I just wish Nintendo would take accesibility into account more when designing their games.

Dang it sounds like this game is really good. Shame that there is too many games coming out this holiday that I want.

0/10 because me no like Wario voice change.

I'm going to lean a high 7 (probably around 7.8 if we were doing decimals), but more 7 than 8 nonetheless. I enjoyed it, it's fun, I'm good with Wario's voice, and I do like the nostalgic throwback to WarioWare Smooth Moves. I think I do like Get It Together a bit more between the two (Penny's theme is an absolute joy-fest), and I liked that they tried something new with the formula and was largely successful.

Again, 7 is a good score, and it's a high 7 if we did decimals. But since I'm comparing it to others in the series, and the WarioWare series is largely full of good ones, it's got a lot more to live up to.

I recommend it if you missed Get It Together, though. You can go listen to Penny's Theme on Nintendo's YouTube and be good.

If you’re a fan of replaying the stories for high-scores and arcade-like fun, then it’s an easy 8. One of the best games in the franchise, in my opinion.

I haven’t been able to play local multiplayer yet. If that ends up being super fun, it could be a 9.

@harrygamerstar

No option to just use the Pro Controller, unfortunately. The way this game is designed, I'm not sure how Nintendo could've made it work without motion controls, to be honest. Maybe this isn't very helpful if you're wanting to play this game specifically, but at least Nintendo seems to have a button-controlled alternative for many of their motion-based games this gen. WarioWare: Get It Together released a couple years ago, and that title doesn't use motion controls at all. Likewise, Nintendo has a motion-based Mario Party game in Super Mario Party, but Mario Party Superstars is completely reliant on button controls.

I don't want to see Nintendo abandon motion entirely as there are some games where I think it's more than just a gimmick and genuinely enhances the experience. But that's easy for me to say as someone without a physical disability, and I empathize greatly with you. At least we're not in the Wii days anymore where every game had obligatory waggle controls. Do you think a custom controller like the ones Xbox make could accommodate you and in some way replicate the motion controls if Nintendo were to make them officially compatible? Or if more of these games allowed for touch screen support? This game doesn't, but I know Clubhouse Games allows you to play many of the sports like bowling on the touchscreen instead of having to use a Joy-Con.

Best game in the series for multiplayer, and still super fun in single-player. Motion controls are nearly flawless once you learn how to assume the forms properly. I've never considered the series' extra content such as the minigames and toys more than charming distractions, so I don't mind the lack of them here. I'm content trying to set new high scores in the standard endless modes.

i think this is the most fun warioware by far with the multiplayer being a blast if you have people to play with, but without multiplayer youre literally missing out on half the content. missed opportunity not bringing back coins and buying "souvenirs" for the resort theme, or even more solo modes. that made replaying the game a lot more rewarding than just going for highscores

i probably prefer GiT more just for giving me more to do as a solo player, and it has more competitive edge too with precise button controls, leaderboards, and character viability which makes it fun to replay.

but both are fantastic games that capture diff roles, and i think thats a best case scenario for both games so one doesnt simply replace the other. i just wish they'd program some CPUs to play against, i can rarely gather people for local multiplayer nowadays lol

@Not_Soos I’m not sure if it would help because my issue is that I don’t have fingers or tendons on my left hand so I can’t hold the left Joy-con. Puts me in a difficult position because most stuff like the gyro in Splatoon and even the motion in Mario Galaxy is ok. But when I have to do complex actions with the left controller like in Arms, Skyward Sword and this game it’s almost impossible. Every disability is different and it would be really hard to design an accesability controller that allows for motion capability, even just what Xbox has done with it’s accesability controller is a miracle in my eyes.
