 Touching is Good, Playing is BetterMar 23, 2005
By Bruce Aguilar
This is the perfect game for gamers like me. Someone who likes to play for 15-20 minutes at a time. Wario Ware Touched is a series of 5 second mini games that are easy to understand, fun to play and full of wacky (sometimes crass) humor. The quick pace of the games makes it perfect for short gaming sessions and still lets you acomplish something.
The main game won't tkae you taht long to finish, but even after you do there are still many other mini games to find. You find them by mastering the games you have already discovered. Playing in "Album" mode gives you a goal, say 20 repititions of the same mini game, that speeds up as you go along. It can get real tense trying to beat the game as it speeds up a bit more each time you play through it. By passing the goal on multiple games you open new mini games. It's a great idea that keeps you playing to find all the hidden mini games. Thankfully these bonus games are every bit as good as the main ones. I'll be playing this game for quite some time trying to uncover all the games and trying to beat my previous high scores.
You'll be dragging things , drawing, tapping, rubbing and even blowing on your DS to play these games. The D-pad and buttons aren't used at all. Some of the action even crosses from one screen on the DS to the other. All these features insure that this is a very unique experience. I think half the fun I had was just playing a game like I never have before. New players of videogmes can pick up on this games mechanics real easy since it's all about touching and moving things around on the screen.
Many times I found myself chuckling or laughing out loud while playing this game. So be careful if you're playing in public and don't want to get crazy looks from passersby. They might think you're going insane and maybe you are, but you're going to having a great time with Wario. A truly memorable gaming experience.

The perfect example of a DS gameJun 14, 2005
By Ryan H.
WarioWare has been a small series that was created on the GBA to truly be a short game. The first game wasn't expected to sell as much as it did, but now its on the DS. All the games remain the same, you must play mini games that last for 5 seconds. Sounds easy, right, well at first it starts out slow but then it gets extremely hard by speeding up and even making the games a little more challenging. This installment is the easiest to pick up and play because it does not require any button touches but instead the use of the touch screen for random games.
There are many categories to be unlocked and you get them fairly quickly. That's another thing with the games in the series, they are very short. Being a handheld game I expected it to be short, but the replay value is extremely high. This time around you can unlock toys that allow you to utilize the DS software in the most bizarre ways. For instance, one toy allows you to blow bubbles using the mic while another uses little creatures that follow the stylus and will even fall off the screen if you blow on the mic.
This game is a must-have if you own the DS because it utilizes the touch screen and other features real well. However, you might not like this game if you do not like short and unexplainable games. People who enjoyed Feel the Magic XY/XX will like this game as well because it has the same feel but has more games. This game is made for all ages, the story mode can be completed rather quickly but if you want more of a challenge you can try to get Gold Crowns for all the characters by scoring the high scores on the mini games. Doing so unlocks more toys and stuff to play around with.
Pros
- Over 200 mini games
- Challenges get harder as you progress
- Very addictive gameplay
- Very easy to learn how to play
- Unique unlockables that utilize the DS technology
Cons
- If you don't like random games, you won't like this one
- It can be completed rather quickly

Great Fun and Great Use of DS SkillsMar 11, 2005
By J. A Carty
"Jessie Carty"
This is a really great title. Nintendo has branched out on a great franchise to take advantage of the DS's extra capabilities.
It is a fairly easy game to "beat" but as you get better you do unlock more "microgames" to keep you entertained.
There are a few of the levels that can be very frustrated but I still feel this game has a lot of replay value.
Also of note is that the graphics and music are fantastic. I was very impressed with the cartoon cinema scenes.
I would rate this appropriate for over 13 or possibly 11 if you are concerned about some "crude" humor which I wouldn't say is any worse than Saturday morning cartoons.

A must-have for DS ownersMay 01, 2005
By Madisen
This is the first must-have game for Nintendo's new handheld. With great implementation of the DS' unique features, fun-for-anyone gameplay, and quirky tone, this will please both the masses and the diehards.
The hook here, obviously, is the touch screen. Let me tell you, using a stylus is just as intuitive as using a button interface. Everything is incredibly responsive; I can't think of a single time when I had to tap or rub repeatedly to get the game to react.
There are a respectable number of characters in the game, each with his or her own control mechanic. To complete the game, you must finish a set of each character's "microgames" (think minigames, only they last around 5 seconds each). For example, there's a character for "slicing", one for "scribbling", and another for "dragging", among others. This variety keeps the game fresh, and always makes you excited to play as a new person.
The microgames themselves are extremely well-designed. Although you are thrown straight into them, with no explanation or instructions, it's a cinch to figure out your objective and complete it within the time limit. You'll find yourself doing things as diverse as scribbling ketchup onto hot dogs, chopping carrots, or scratching backs. Lots of the games are funny, too. I should also mention that each game has three levels of difficulty, which adds more variety.
Maybe what I like best about this game, beyond the great gameplay, is the extraordinary amount of content. Sure, the "main" game can be finished quickly, but there's a boatload of things to do after viewing the credits. By earning high scores, you can earn tons of extra prizes. These prizes are really great and unique; you can unlock everything from a playable piano to a two-player ping-pong game.
This game has convinced me that the DS has real potential. It's a joy to play, it'll keep you entertained for hours, and it's full of little surprises that'll make you smile. If you have a DS, run out and play this now--I can guarantee that it'll make you leap up and exclaim, "Touching IS good!!"

This game ROCKS!!!!!!!!May 08, 2006
When I first got this game, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but i got in my car and started playing and couldn't stop! i was totally adicted. I got home around five, and the next thing i knew it, it was 8 o clock. This game has over 180 five second micro-games, and it made me realize how much fun you can have in five seconds. this game is a very good time-waster, and a fun thing to play when youre bored, or when youre on a long trip. this isn't just a kid game either, my dad has alot of fun playing it too. this game is worth 30 dollars.
