Bro I have never felt happier to get a WarioWare in my LIFE. Smooth Moves is by far my favorite entry in the series and one of my favorite Nintendo games of all time, so the fact we got a direct sequel had me excited, and they thankfully delivered.
I believe WarioWare has always been best when it had a central gimmick. Even though I really liked Get it Together, it felt a bit lacking without it utilizing the Switch's gimmicks. Thankfully that's what this game does and it is amazing. Unfortunately since the Joycons aren't nearly as intuitive as the Wiimote, some microgames can feel a bit finicky, but those few are outshined by a plethora that uses the motion controls to its absolute best. This game has one of the best selection of microgames in the series as not only it replicates Smooth Moves' style, it innovates on that style.
The only gimmick that doesn't particularly work well is the IR camera, but not many microgames utilize it so it's not a big deal. The new forms introduced with the NARRATOR returning are extremely fun and it brought back the spark this series didn't have for 17 years. Not saying the new games are bad but it didn't have a certain style that made me fall in love with this series.
Overall, this a fantastic return to one of my favorite gaming series and I'm hopeful they can keep innovating with whatever Nintendo's next console gimmick will be. I feel so happy to be a WarioWare fan.
