Having played, replayed, and loved the GBA WarioWare: Mega Microgames, it was only natural that I should buy the DS version. WarioWare Touched is perhaps the craziest DS game ever created, a barrage of 5-second microgames one after another. There are 180 of them, all with strange goals like running a mechanical pencil out of lead or popping balloons. Some other reviewers have complained that this game is too easy, but I disagree. Sure, I was able to beat all the sets of microgames once in the first day I had it, but that's only scratching the surface. After you beat a Boss level or complete a set number of games, you recieve a weird souvenir, which could be anything from a party blowout to a parrot that repeats whatever you say into the DS's microphone. This keeps you playing even after your first run through the game, trying to beat challenges and unlock more extras. I still don't have them all. I still haven't even played all the microgames.

Another cool feature of this game is the fact that only the touch screen and the mic have any importance in the game controls; everything else just pauses the game. While this makes for a fun, different way to play, you should be careful not to get too carried away in trying to beat the clock, or else it's easy to scratch your screen. I know. I've been very, very careful {or have tried to be, anyway}, but my screen still got some scratches. Oh well. This game is worth it. This isn't a story-oriented game like Super Mario 64 DS {which, by the way, is an awesome game}, but it'll keep you playing for quite some time. Oh yes, it's got some pretty cool music too, 2 songs having lyrics. I really enjoy this game, and I recommend it to anyone who has a DS.

Pretty much a great game

I think it is great game!If you liked that random action style in the gamecube virsion this one will please you.
There is only two things wrong. One is that there is only about
20 mini-games for each character and only about seven or eight of them
so they tend to repeat the same thing alot. Second is there is no multiplayer whatsoever and that was a big letdown.It kinda makes up with the added game-room.

It's ok...

Since I haven't beaten the original Warioware game, I thought this game would also be fun to try and beat. I found that I was able to COMPLETELY beat this game in just a few hours. This game is really easy to beat. If you like a challenge, then this is NOT the game for you.

I did, however, like the graphics. I liked the fact that the buttons were not used AT ALL throughout the duration of the game. I didn't like the fact you could not skip over the cinema scenes the first time around (which probably took up an hour of my time, easily). The feature that initally attracted me to this game was the fact you got to use the microphone in the DS. I was disappointed in the fact that you didn't actually have to say/sing anything into the microphone. All you have to do is blow into the microphone, and after a few games, you start feeling sick and lightheaded.

This game has lots of secret unlockables, even after you initally beat the game. It constantly has me coming back for more. That's why my rating is so high.

Did this help?

Pretty good while it lasts; which isn't long.

Warioware: Touched! Is a follow up to the GBA version that was extremely loved for it's strange gameplay. Nintendo took that idea and put it on the DS. Was this obviously going to happen? I sure thought so; and few times I've wondered: was the DS actually made because someone had the idea for a Wario Ware game you could... erm... touch? I'll take you through the PROs and CONs, as well as my opinion on graphics,sound,control, and fun.

PROs: You can now "Touch" ( hence the name ), plenty of minigames, a lot of unlockables, 5 dollars cheaper than many other DS games currently around.

CONs: Though there's replay value, it's not the same going back through minigames you've played a few hundred times over, too short, too easy, not even worth the price in some ways.

Graphics: 4/5. You have to appreciate these graphics somewhat. This is a cartoon game, obviously, but it also takes on some strange graphics. From semi-realistic looking kittens, to some paper-cutout-looking graphics, to a 3D box of matches. The graphics are all different and don't really have one main kind of look.

Sound: 4/5. The sound is decent; there are some decent tunes in and out the game, such as the character "Ashley" who has her own song. The little sounds that go throughout the game are also pretty good, and the faster the game gets, the faster the sound gets, which makes you get pretty twitchy and into the game.

Control: 4/5. This game uses the stylus and stylus only; literally. There is nothing in this game you can do with the D-Pad or any other buttons, unless you want to pause the game. After going through all the games then going through again and again, you can easily get corpal tunnel if you're immune to getting it. The games are just repetetive.

Fun: 4/5. There are so many things to say about this game; it's Warioware with use of a stylus to "get in the game", you can use the DS's microphone to play minigames ( definitely cool. ), there is an array of about 20 ( probably more ) mini-mini games. Warioware: Touched! Is awesome while it lasts, but after you've unlocked everything, there's not much to come back for. This game could be well worth a one week or two week rental, but it could also be worth a buy, it's really up to you. Do you want to be pulling toilet paper off a roll as fast as you can? Do you want to break objects with a blow dart? Do you want to poke bug's eyes? Do you like to do that over and over again? If you like to, you should buy this game. If you don't think it sounds THAT fun, give it a look at your local videostore.

Short but Fun

I have only played this Warioware game and the Warioware: Twisted! game, so I will not be rating this game in comparison to the first Warioware game.

In this game, you play through a series of quick, 5 second microgames in quick succession. Although some games are hard to complete, the real challenge is in the speed. There are over 180 microgames, so with each microgame you have to instantly figure out what you need to do, or lose and proceed on at the breakneck pace.

This gameplay is incredibly fun, and really makes for one of the best gaming experiences ever. The actions are a bit repetitive, however. Take the microphone themed games. About 90% of these games could be done simply by blowing in the microphone again and again. Luckily, the little differences in each game keep you interested, and your eyes on the screen.

By far the biggest problem with this game is its length. I beat it in about three hours. (Beat meaning I got the reccomended scores for every character in the game) I spent a further three hours or so, and I am now experienced with every microgame in Touched! and I am close to having beaten the Albums for them. I have every souvenier but three. And worst of all, once you have memorized every microgame, the entire thrill of the game, not knowing what to do, is gone.

If you are looking a tougher, larger game experience, buy Warioware: Twisted! for the GBA instead. It is a bit better than Touched!, but they're both great games really. If you have a DS, my reccomendation is to buy them both, put them in at the same time, and have a great time! Plus, you unlock a special video of Mona in Touched! if you put them both in at the same time.

Overall, Touched! is either a hit or miss game. Try it before you buy it, but I think you'll like it.

FINAL RATING: 4.5 out of 5

P.S. Please forgive the spelling mistakes, I am writing this quickly.

Funny and cool

Over a 150 minigames to play awsome. I just love the worioware games they rock they always give us more and more games to play. This is one is just so funny you can even play games for the old games. I like playing the games and not only doy you touch you spin, drag, and rub. I like the playing the glanry mix beacuse it really puts you to the test of how fast you can go. If you like DS games were you have to touch stuff this is for you.

Fun for kids and Adults too!!!

My son received a DS for his birthday along with this game. He let me play and I couldn't put it down. Lots of fun mini games and the robot feature (blowing in the mic) is the coolest feature ever for a video game.

Awesome

This game is awesome. It is a game with pointless mini games. Dont get me wrong i love this game and all its pointless (but fun) minigames or a.k.a microgames (called that in the game). I mean Nintendo DSers this game is one of the first games that uses the microphone. How sick is that. I love this game. It is 100% better then that stupid game feel the magic. It is probably the best game i have. I have a lot of games (Madden2005, SuperMario64 DS, Urbs, and Spiderman 2), but this game is probably the best of all. I mean eating a doeghnut, Scracthing a back, popping baloons, and my favorite ( or atleast 1 of them because they r all awesome) rolling down toilet paper untill all of it runs out r only some of the most awesome games this game. Like i said before this game is awesome.

too short!

Nintendo, always known to make unique games, hit a high note in originality when it released the original Wario Ware on the Game Boy Advance two years ago. Soon enough, there was a GameCube version. Now, with the capabilities of the new Nintendo DS handheld, Nintendo has had more than enough open space for innovation. The product is one of the DS’s most anticipated titles—Wario Ware: Touched!.

All of the Wario Ware games test your endurance and your ability to think quickly with dozens and dozens of quick mini-games. Wario Ware: Touched! goes a step further with a new means of control: the DS’s stylus and microphone. This time around, you’ll face up against 180 “microgames”, each with a different type of action you’ll need to perform. The microgames are truly unique, simple, and hilarious—some of them are almost disturbing—but they are all, for the most part, a blast. However, not one of them lasts more than five to ten seconds, so you’ll never get stuck for an extended period of time on a certain game.

I personally enjoyed most of the microgames, although some are certainly more fun than others. One that I thought was hilarious involved a little fire burning on the side of a mountain. To put the fire out, you are instructed to use an angel that is dangling from the sky, armed with a hose located in a “certain” place. Another that I enjoyed was one of the last games you play, where you guide an explorer through a cave of traps by cutting down bushes and breaking rocks by tapping them with the stylus.

As fun as individual games are, you are hardly given time to notice. As you play Wario Ware: Touched!, you unlock more and more characters with their own unique premise behind each game. You’ll use your stylus-tapping skills as Wario, your scribbling abilities as the ninja twins Ana and Kat, and even blow or sing into the microphone as the karaoke robot Mike. As you run through their quick little “stories”, you play microgame after microgame, with each one getting faster then the next until you reach a “Boss Stage”. These stages are actually quite simple in comparison to some of the other games. You are given much more time, even if the ultimate goal is a little tougher.

Another perk to Wario Ware: Touched! is the simple production value. The graphics are never a steady quality. Some microgames use simple sprites, others use real-life images, and a select few use the 3D capabilities of the Nintendo DS. Even though this might come off as a fault, it actually adds points to the originality of the title. Also, the music is fast, cheery, and very upbeat. It always keeps you glued to your handheld, ready for the next quick round of microgames.

Wario Ware: Touched! does have its share of problems, though. The biggest issue, and one that you’ll quickly notice if you purchase the game, is the fact that the fun only lasts a few hours. It literally only takes two to three hours to unlock every microgame and every “toy” (which range from a calculator to an advice simulator). As quirky as the two or three hours might be, a game shouldn’t cost so much for such a short ride. The price of admission is $34.99—meaning each hour of gameplay is worth $17.50—but the only positive note is that the game doesn’t end when you’ve unlocked everything. The fast-paced games and the strange charm will keep you coming back.

Although there are a lot of good things about Wario Ware: Touched!, the basic flaw still remains: it is a tough choice to throw down so much cash for such a short experience. The game can easily be replayed for hours and hours, but you’re basically paying for 180 hits of attention deficit medicine rather than a full-length game. The only ending comment I can say is that if you were a fan of Sega’s Feel the Magic XY/XX or past Wario Ware games, you’ll definitely eat up the addictive microgames in Wario Ware: Touched!. Otherwise, you will most likely be disappointed with the super-short length and the nearly-pointless gameplay.
