An excellent, funny, endearing and polished collection. It really makes use of the majority of the 3DS’ features and is just a blast to play through. It’s got a ton of cool extras and side modes too.

Short and sweet. Fun stories, fun micro games.
K, this is actually the best WarioWare by default. I secretly adore all the cutscenes and voices. They seriously didn't have to make Ana so fucking cute.
ngl me salte la mitad de las cinematicas porque la historia no es para mucho, pero los minijuegos son buenos y tiene muchisimo contenido para jugar cada tanto con distintos retos
I fucks with this
WARO
indispensable si te gusto alguno de los anteriores. probablemente actualize la puntuación en base al postgame pero aún así es un paquete súper completo y divertido.
mi mayor pega en cuanto gameplay son algunos de los minijuegos finales que son más molestos que no divertidos pero el resto impecable
muy muy buena localización y doblaje al castellano creo que todas las voces y actuaciones han sido un acierto

I actually missed out on WarioWare Gold when it first came out, and I really enjoyed it! It's crazy to me that this game has full voice acting but get it together doesn't. Will always love the humor, Ko Takeuchi's artstyle, and the gameplay of the ware series. Gold in particular is a compilation, or greatest hits of warioware microgames and I gotta say, they picked some good ones! A lot from games like smooth moves and touched I grew up with. Big recommend to snag this one before the 3ds eshop closes!
eetsa gudt game
Wario becomes god after putting a toilet on his head
It was super quick and breezy. Perfect for something to do when you have nothing else on. The little stories between rounds add so much charm to the game and the games are so fun.
There isn’t just story mode but also challenge rooms and missions to complete so there is still plenty to do even after the credits.
I’ll definitely play again

You can't go wrong with a "best of" collection in one package. Gets really hectic when you have to switch between touch, button and gyro controls on the fly, and that's GREAT.
This is the cheapest these games looked I really do not like this artstyle I'm sorry

I still think smooth moves is a tiny bit better but this is very much up there. Such a lovely title
This is a collection of past and new WarioWare microgames bundled in a 3DS game. Things can get very hectic since the game makes use of the different 3DS features such as touch, gyro, and regular button commands.
Even though the game is fairly short in terms of the "campaign" mode, there is plenty of fun to be had by replaying the different micro games.

Yes. Best micro game game ever. Nice to play
Outstading compilation of old and new microgames. Lots of extra modes and unlockables and, of course, the absolute nonsense and quirkiness that makes every single WarioWare game unique and something everyone must experience.
Some people might not like the tilt and touch screen controls that were added, but I think they all feel super natural. Great collection of old and new games along with tons of unlockables and extras. Might be my favorite entry in the series so far, up there with DIY.
As far as WarioWare games go, this one is the most complete package. Gold has the most microgames with the greatest variety, and of the WarioWare games that have used motion controls, this one functions the smoothest. While the mechanics are solid, sometimes the presentation brings down the experience.
Microgames in Gold are mostly remixes of previous entries' microgames, split between using button controls, the 3DS's gyro sensor, or touch screen controls. There are modes that let you play the collection of a single control type, or an insane mode that randomly switches between the three types. Such variety makes it easy to keep poking around to find something to do, without even mentioning the multitude of unlockable minigames and curios the series is known for. (I do however hate the new unlocking system, which artificially slows progress by introducing coins to take a spin at the prize machine instead of awarding a spin for clearing a boss mini game outright. Pointless and mean in a game with hundreds of prizes to claim.)
As for how the microgames have been updated, the results are mixed. Some microgames have had their method of input changed, and others have gotten graphical or art style refreshes. Uniformly, the controls are snappy and the gameplay changes are intuitive. However, with all the updated art, there is some loss in legibility. Borders around the active areas of the microgames are inconsistent in shape, and in some cases, the new art styles lose the high contrast between the controllable element and the background. In a series where what the player controls is often abstracted or environmental in nature, with only seconds to tell them apart, these oversights greatly impact a first play-through.
Although there are over 300 microgames, being split roughly evenly between the three control types makes the game feel both larger and smaller than that count suggests. Other entries have had closer to 200 games, but confined to a single control style. So depending on what you like about the series, you either have 1.5x as many games, or .5x as many games as you would expect. At least it learned the correct lesson that microgames controlled by the 3DS microphone, do in fact, unilaterally, suck, and has like 5 of them.Still 5 too many.
To WarioWare Gold's credit, it is the most fun I've had with motion controls in the series. The 3DS hardware is finally sensitive enough to allow purposeful variety in how microgames control without the inconsistency of Twisted!'s customized GBA cartridge or the base Wii Remote in Smooth Moves. (And those awful transitions to change hand positions or recalibrate the Wii Remote, absolutely killed the pacing of that game.) Motion controls are often a gimmick, but in a collection of gimmicky game ideas like this, its great fun.
In my rating system, 2 stars represents an average, C rank game, and at 2.5 stars I give WarioWare Gold a C+. There's definitely an increase in budget here that makes the game feel robust, but some of that budget went to fully voiced cutscenes, which are absolutely painful. WarioWare stories are always hot nonsense, and hearing bored English voice-overs cover flash-style animations make the product feel cheap in a way it doesn't deserve. The music is also pretty lame, opting for more "humor"-focused sound-effect laden soundscapes rather than engaging melodies. I feel like with a better-focused art direction that paid more attention to the user experience, this could have been something really special.

This game was a great summation of everything that made the series great up to this point. A lovely buy for the 3DS, highly recommend it.
Juego alocado, adictivo y creativo. Mezcla perfecta de lo ya visto en anteriores WarioWare.
A great collection and tribute to everything that's come before in the series. Loved it.
not one complaint
There is a dangerous amount of charm oozing from this game. Every couple of seconds, I'm raising an eyebrow or chuckling at how strange and inventive things get. Despite there being hundreds of microgames, you'll almost never encounter one where the goal is weirdly obtuse. Critical information being delivered effectively and quickly has always been WarioWare's strong suit, and it's on full-display in Gold.
is this what being addicted to crack feels like?
Some of the best Microgames in the series and more, all in one place. And the characters have voice acting for the very first time! Its not amazing voice acting, but it fits very well. It sounds like a kids' cartoon show.
artstyle change is ultimately i think for the worse, but after sitting on it for a few years i dont hate it anywhere near as much as i used to. feels kinda easy? a lot of the microgames returning have had their lengths doubled for what i feel is unnecessary reasons, overall the story isn't really much trouble (the boss games in particular almost all suck, which is my biggest issue with it)
that being said, the side content in this game is easily the best in the franchise. has basically every single player mode from every game i'd want (wario watch and gamer in particular are both 10/10). this combined with all the cool bonus content and just neat stuff to look at really makes this feel like the warioware deluxe fan package it set out to be, even if it is lacking in a couple areas. you basically come to these for the side content anyway, so more than valid tradeoff in my book.
is this like the only game on the 3ds that uses the gyroscope well

Wario Ware is back!
The one guy at the fast food drive thru was too rude to Orbulon. I like Orbulon.
No Frills WarioWare. It just feels like a cleaned up re run of the GBA one, but since we've seen it before it's not as good. Total missed opportunity to make use of the 3D meter.
