This week's edition of Critical Reception examines distinctly mixed online reaction to WarioWare: Snapped!, a downloadable Nintendo DSi launch title that some reviews claim is "certainly worth experiencing."
Snapped currently earns a score of 55 out of 100 at Metacritic.com, with some variance of scores.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "One day Nintendo will pull the plug on DSiWare, such is the fate of all digital stores, and so we’ve decided that this is the perfect time to take a look at the best DSiWare games of all time."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): When talking video games, the question "where were you the first time you saw WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$!?" normally doesn't come up.
LoreHound.com connects the dots between NBC's Minute to Win It and the fore bringing of microgames, the WarioWare franchise.
iTZKooPA writes: "We're not here to discuss how WarioWare was the first entry into the (now standard) party game market. Or how its simple and intuitive design made developers think that it must be an easily repeatable formula; one that's possible to recreate on a shoestring budget, no less. No, none of that is why we are here. We are here because WarioWare's potential has transcended mere video game design, and leapt into the realm of analog games. To my knowledge, WarioWare's simple and fun games have lead it to become the first video game to become a TV game show."
Now all we need is a game in Minute to Win It where the contestant has to jump over an automotive potato.
This sucks.
Wario Ware is my favorite Nintendo series too.
Yeah, I would've liked it a ton if it was longer than 15 minutes and picked up pictures easier. :D Other than that, it's hilariously fun for a little while.
