Gameplay Dynamics
Wario’s back in the gaming universe and he’s ready to shake things up, literally. Nintendo Switch players can engage with over 200 quick-paced microgames in WarioWare: Move It!, set to release on November 3. A gameplay overview trailer for the upcoming game is now available for viewing, offering a first-hand look at what gamers can expect.
Modes to Watch Out For
WarioWare: Move It! is more than just a bunch of microgames stitched together. The game features various modes to suit solo or multiplayer experiences. The breakdown is as follows:
Story Mode
In Story Mode, players navigate through unique stages, each presenting a distinctive character, story, and a series of rapid-fire microgames. The stages offer an array of Forms—or poses—for players to assume, aligning with the respective microgames. Gamers can even double the fun by co-oping with a buddy, thanks to the compatibility with two sets of Joy-Con controllers. Boss battles cap off each stage, and progression unlocks additional levels, including challenging ones like Megagame Muscles and Super Hard.
The Museum
Want to perfect your microgame skills? The Museum is where players can revisit and practice any microgame they’ve previously encountered. Adjust the tempo and hone your skills for an even crazier gameplay experience.
Party Mode
Local multiplayer gets the spotlight in Party Mode, accommodating 2-4 players, each with a single Joy-Con controller. The mode includes quirky contests like Medusa March, where players aim to reach the goal while avoiding Medusa’s petrifying glare, and Galactic Conquest, a board game featuring Wario’s unique rule set. Games like Go the Distance and The Who’s In Control show add variety to the Party Mode, promising a frenetic and laugh-filled gameplay session.
Movement Is Key
Whether you’re mimicking the Fashionista or the chicken-like Ba-KAW, WarioWare: Move It! brings a new layer of interaction by incorporating Joy-Con movements. From shaking and punching to dancing and wiggling, players will find themselves physically engaged as they clear each microgame.
For those eager to dive into this world of quick reflexes and hilarious moments, mark your calendar for November 3. Until then, the new gameplay trailer should provide a solid idea of what to expect.
