Review: WarioWare: Get It Together! for the Nintendo Switch

WarioWare Get It Together

We received a free download code of the new game WarioWare: Get It Together! for the Nintendo Switch from Nintendo. Opinions are our own.

Constant movement and crazy action await in WarioWare: Get It Together!, the latest game form Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. In the game you control Wario and his friends in a never ending series of micro games. I say micro not mini because these games can last mere seconds. Constant action is what is happening here. There are also many friends of Wario that are there to help and each one has their own special ability. One can jump very high, another never stops moving and can throw boomerangs that you can control and yet another cannot move but can fire a grappling hook at rings in order to move around the screen.

Andy and I played this game for a while and it was crazy and silly and super fun. We’ll definitely be going back to it to play even more and maybe pull Allison and Eva into the frenetic insanity. There are over 200+ of these micro games and various modes for you to choose from in order to play them.

The game modes are

Story mode (1-2 players)
Wario and his friends are trapped inside their company’s latest game—and only you can help them by clearing microgames. Play this first to unlock more characters and modes.

Variety Pack (1-4 players)
Looking for a totally frantic party game to play with friends? Take on 10 wacky games with the crew of WarioWare, Inc.

Wario Cup (Online game mode)
A rotating weekly challenge where players can win trophies to earn in-game currency. By turning on Ranked Mode (Requires Nintendo Switch Online membership), players can also fight their way up the leaderboards against players worldwide or friends that are also playing the game.

Official Description
You’ll help out the infamous game designer after he gets sucked into his latest creation in Story Mode, and, for the first time, YOU control Wario and friends inside their own chaotic games. From assembling a robot to pulling out a statue’s armpit hair, WarioWare: Get It Together! is a hilarious, cooperative mashup for the whole family to enjoy.

Build Your Own video Games with Game Builder Garage on the Nintendo Switch

Nintendo sent me a free copy of Game Builder Garage so that I could play and review. Opinions are my own. Game Builder Garage is a fun interactive way to discover game design through guided lessons. In this game you will meet the Nodon, characters that are behind every aspect of game building. When you tap into the programming power of Nodon you’ll learn the secrets of building your own games from scratch!

When I was a kid I taught myself how to program BASIC just so I could make an 8×8 set of pixels look like a little guy and make him dance. Wow, things have changed and my own kids have an incredible tool at their disposal to create their very own video games. Game Builder Garage is a powerful tool for learning how to code and for making fun and exciting games all by yourself. Andy has had so much fun making different games and he loves to show his friends and family each one that he creates. I’m very envious of that. Had I had this game as a kid I may have been more inclined to pursue a career in game creation. Being a kid and having that time and focus to really work on something like I used to do when I completed games like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Brothers. I can only imagine what games I could have created using this. Maybe I will take some time to get to know this game and do just that.

While I did not create my own games, yet, I did make a video as a parent’s guide to the game.
