Madcap microgames are just <em>more fun<\/em> when you have to make yourself look like a total ninny waving your various body parts about, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/warioware_move_it\">WarioWare Move It!<\/a> attempts to capture that same lightning in a bottle. After having played it for a bit, we the developer Intelligent Systems might have cracked it.<\/p>\n<p>The game is split up into various modes, but all of them boil down to one idea: holding one or more Joy-Con and performing ludicrous actions with reasonable accuracy in microgames lasting all of a few seconds. If you\u2019ve ever grabbed a Wii Remote (sorry, <em>Form Baton<\/em>) and played 2007&#8217;s Smooth Moves, this is essentially a direct sequel to that idea, with a few ways to mix it up and provide even more silly things for you to embarrass yourself with. Off-the-wall nods to other Nintendo properties, uncouth actions involving noses and bottoms \u2014 they all make a return here, and quite right, too.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\">As you&#8217;d expect, the Joy-Con&#8217;s motion sensing comes into its own with microgames like these<\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>Story Mode has you taking on a variety of different microgame playlists for one or two players, Party Mode is the go-to for groups with various different objectives which can naturally only be achieved by playing microgames, and Museum just lets you pick a microgame to play at your leisure.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t think Nintendo is pushing any major boundaries here, but frankly it doesn&#8217;t need to. If the presentation is slick (it is) and the microgames are fun (they are), then that\u2019s all the game requires.<\/p>\n<p>We thoroughly enjoyed our short time with the game and are keen to have a deeper dive for our review when the time comes.
