I have such a soft spot for WarioWare Smooth Moves and I appreciate a lot of things about this spiritual sequel. The core goofiness of the microgames are there and so are the amusing ways this game uses the Joy Cons. I also love how much better 2-player mode here feels compared to Get It Together.
Unfortunately the presentation is just... so barebones that it threatens to derail the entire game? The narrator voice discussing the forms just doesn't sound good at all. The music is unmemorable. And on top of that, since Smooth Moves controlled so well thanks to Wii hardware and the sensor bar, it's very jarring to have the Joy Cons just straight up not work in some microgames.
I was excited for this game the most out of Nintendo's late 2023 releases and I walked away feeling that this almost feels like an AI generated sequel to Smooth Moves. And that's without mentioning how short this game feels even for a WarioWare game.
I had enough fun, but this game is definitely a disappointment.
