WarioWare: Move It! is the tenth main installment in the WarioWare series released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on November 3, 2023. First announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, it is the second game in the WarioWare series released for the Nintendo Switch, following WarioWare: Get It Together! The game returns to the traditional gameplay style of the series after WarioWare: Get It Together!'s departure, and utilizes the Switch's Joy-Con motion sensor as its main mechanic.[3] As indicated by its Japanese title, WarioWare: Move It! is a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which showcased the Wii's motion controls in a similar manner.[2] It is also the first game to feature Kevin Afghani as the voice of Wario, succeeding Charles Martinet.[9]

Overview

WarioWare: Move It! is, like other installments in the WarioWare series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles. Being a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, its gameplay utilizes motion controls, with the Joy-Con (referred to in-game as the Form Stones) as controllers. Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in Diamond City, the game takes place on a new tropical location, named Caresaway Island.[10][11] As such, the characters of the game wear tropical outfits. The cutscenes of the game make use of full-motion video animation with full voice-acting, like WarioWare Gold.

In the game, the story mode can be played either single- or multiplayer. Its level selection screen is reminiscent of WarioWare: Smooth Moves and WarioWare: Get It Together!; each level is represented by one to three character heads, while the remix stages are represented by jeepneys that hold select characters. Story multiplayer returns from Get It Together! with slight differences. Players take turns playing single-player microgames, and if one player fails, the second player can preserve the life at stake in a tag-in challenge by playing the same microgame. If the second player fails the tag-in, the life is lost. Ocassionally, the players will play a two-player microgame simultaneously and must complete the microgame together.[12]

The party mode of the game features five multiplayer modes (two returning from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!) which can be played with up to four players, who each choose a crew member to play as.

Story

The game begins with a short video about the history of the Form Stones, followed by an advertisement for Caresaway Island shown on a television by a burger vendor. Wario, driving his bike in Diamond City, notices the vendor and orders fifty Garlic Burgers, granting him fifty chances to draw tickets. He ultimately gets the winning ticket, a voucher for a free vacation to Caresaway Island with twenty of his friends, much to his dismay. His employees overhear his victory and they all set off to the island via a yacht.

Later, Wario escapes the inhabitants of the temple, but falls off a cliff. He lands on the same parrot he accidentally hit with the Form Stones earlier. Wario is delighted at his luck, and takes a liking to the Form Stones. He laughs as the parrot carries him off.

There, the trio meet the actual creature and a caveman who is in need of new ideas for what to draw. The caveman asks the trio to make poses as inspiration for his art.

"It's still me, Ashley. This island has weird fruit. I should find more for Red to, uh...taste test. I've got the Forms Tug-of-War and Scales for you. You could try for a high score if you're bored. I'm not going anywhere." (Second description)

Later, a seagull sits on a directional sign, causing it to change direction. Nearly every racer ends up going the wrong way, Dribble and Spitz included.

"Wario's back! Hmph. I'm getting bored of this trip. But I'm not going anywhere until I get some treasure! I know just where to look! Heh heh... Anything goes for this stage. I got microgames with all kinds of Forms! Try to keep up!" (First description)[15] Clear Pool-Party Panic
Story: At nighttime, Wario sneaks into the shrine at Perspiration Peak Volcano and attempts to steal all the gold there. He removes a golden statue of the Form Stone God, unaware that it was plugging a hole from which a giant lava hand emerges and snatches him. Wario is pulled into the hole and merges with the volcano, causing his face to appear on it as it erupts, endangering Wario's friends and other people below. The elder of the Woods Watchers urges everyone to start dancing in order to calm the volcano down.

Later, everyone celebrates after succeeding in making the volcano stop erupting with their dancing. Just then, the volcano shoots Wario back into the shrine where he lands on top of the hole where the golden statue was. Wario realizes that he is stuck and struggles to get out while the shocked Woods Watchers begin to serve him as their new god.

Staff

Main article: List of WarioWare: Move It! staff

Like its predecessor, WarioWare: Move It! was primarily developed by Intelligent Systems and supervised by Nintendo. Goro Abe, the lead of the series, continued to serve as the chief director. Waki Shigeta, who was the art director for the previous installment, also directed the entire game development. Ko Takeuchi once again works on the character art and illustrations. The characters' English voice actors from WarioWare: Get It Together! all return except Charles Martinet, who was succeeded by Kevin Afghani.

A promotional image showcasing the lunch box

By pre-ordering the game through the My Nintendo Store in Europe, customers will receive a lunch box.[32]

In Japan, Nintendo ran an ad campaign for the game featuring the comedy duo, Chidori.[33][34]

On the day of the game's release, Nintendo released a parodic launch trailer in the form of a "Launch WAHmmercial" on its YouTube channel.[35] This trailer parodies TV infomercials by introducing how the game can help the player through typical life situations. Within the trailer, fake testimonials are made for the game from fake sources such as Toilet Tribute, Dr. W.A. Rio, and Someone Named "Dan". In this scene, some testimonials tease the viewer for pausing the trailer to try to read through them.

Reception

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo Switch Shaan Joshi, We Got This Covered 3/5 "WarioWare: Move It! offers up plenty of hilarious, colorful, and creative microgames — it's just a shame that players will have to contend with an unwavering dedication to motion controls and a story mode that only lasts a couple of hours."
Nintendo Switch Adam Cook, God is a Geek 9/10 "WarioWare: Move It! is a hilarious, bonkers game that shouldn’t be missed, and the best WarioWare title since Smooth Moves and the earlier handheld titles."
Nintendo Switch Ryan Janes, Nintendo Insider 7/10 "WarioWare: Move It! delivers another wild and wacky assortment of microgames that make some of the best use we’ve ever seen from the Joy-Con’s motion functionality. The variety of actions you’ll perform is truly impressive and there’s little denying the quality of ideas on display here. In a package more catered to multiplayer though and with few extras and surprises to distract in the longer term, Move It! isn’t likely to keep the attention of those playing alone for much more than a weekend. Still, WarioWare is just as fun and unpredictable its ever been, even if it is a little lighter in content this time around."

The microgames in WarioWare: Move It! are again controlled with motion controls via Forms[17]; in particular, the simultaneous usage of one controller in each hand is similar to the microgames in Orbulon's stage in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Wario's stage is visually similar, involving him running away from a threat after acquiring the artifacts around which the game is centered. Many microgame graphic styles are similar to this game's, often involving simplistic and rough 3D models, environments and texturing. Several microgame music pieces from this game are rearranged. The final boss is a version of Wario Dance Company and involves similar looking characters, gameplay and dance steps.

Trivia

  • This is the only game in the WarioWare series to feature a microgame based on a video game in which neither Nintendo or Intelligent Systems is credited as a lead developer, as Fuse Games (later known as Silverball Studios) is credited as the sole developer for Mario Pinball Land.
    • Additionally, as Wii Play: Motion had its individual games developed by numerous different developers outside of Nintendo proper, this status technically also applies to its microgame in Move It!, which is based on Skip Ltd.'s Pose Mii Plus.
  • This game, along with WarioWare: Snapped! and Game & Wario, are the only games in the WarioWare series to not feature a microgame based on Super Mario Bros..
