CORBIE'S GAME BLOG

I'll admit, I wasn't always a fan of the Wario Ware games. In fact, I thought they looked downright rediculous and silly from looking at screenshots. So when Mega Micro Games and Twisted were released, I passed on both of them. I almost passed on Wario Ware Touched! as well, but by an odd twist of fate, I was finally introduced to the Wario Ware series when my mother, who hasn't bought me a video game since I was back in high school in the late 80's, gave me Wario Ware Touched! for my birthday. To be honest, I put on a happy face and pretended to like the gift, but my first instinct was to return the game to where she bought it and get something I really wanted. The more I thought about it, the guiltier I began to feel since she was only trying to get me something I would like. After going back and forth for awhile, I finally decided to just give it a try. I mean how bad could it be?

From the first moment I began playing those microgames I was hooked! I couldn't put the game down without catching myself thinking about it. The premise of the game is so simple, yet thoroughly addictive in the way the game tosses all of these microgames at you in such rapid succession. I especially loved the classic games that had some of the classic NES titles featured in them. The more I played this game, the more I wanted to play it. I bet Wario Ware Touched! spent almost 3 weeks in my DS before I finally took it out to play something else. Yet every time I turned around, I caught myself playing it again. I don't get pleasant surprises with video games much anymore since I spend most of my time playing them for review purposes, so when a game like this comes along that I just fall in love with, it's always a nice treat. If you haven't tried out Wario Ware Touched!, do yourself a favor and find a copy, if you can. It's one of the most enjoyable and addictive games you can find for the DS. (RATING: 9.2/10)
