Update: Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Microgame$

It?s not the quality that counts, it?s the quantity.

Finally, a game that recognizes that the GBA cannot be used as a surrogate GameCube. Rather than fruitlessly attempting to cram a first-person shooter onto the minute screen, Wario Ware bombards the player with rapid-fire mini games that are more about the accelerated assimilation of data than dazzling effects. This is truly the king of twitch games.

The goal is to complete as many consecutive mini games as possible. You?re given minimal instructions (often only one word!) and but a few seconds for each game. The mini games come at you faster and faster, until you can?t keep up. Wario Ware is unique in that it tests a player?s ability to rapidly adapt to each new challenge.

Wario Ware also includes some two-player games that let both people play on the same GameBoy. One person uses the left trigger, the other uses the right. While simple, the vs. games are highly competitive, and are great time killers. From its cynical industry commentary to its original gameplay, Wario Ware?s Mega Microgame$ are going to change the way you look at your GBA.
