I got the Japanese version of this, it is one of the best games I have played. It is just as fun as the GBA version, but 10 times better. Especially the multiplayer modes. There are a variety of brand new multiplayer modes that are played differently, but still use the same insanely fun microgames from the GBA.

Lets party!

This game has all these tiny games thatare only about 5 seconds each. Some I wish I would be able to play longer than what time they give you, but its still really fun. I need to figure out how to unlock a lot of things.

Unrivaled Mini Game Chaos.

Wario is back once again trying to make a quick billion from his increasingly popular Wario Ware titles. Oh man, this game is certainly addictive and has caught my attention and genuinely kept my interest just as the wonderful GBA pocket version did. This game is truly the ultimate multiplayer game. Wario Ware for GCN offers in game interaction but also offers out of game interaction. Yes, you heard that right. Wario Ware, Inc: Mega Party Game$ encourages players to act out while playing the game... It's a magnificent concept, I only hope it is not overlooked. The different modes of multiplay have yet to become boring to me and all of my loyale friends (some who like it alot, some who tolerate it and some who just don't understand). The single player is limited to different modes of play involving the 200+ mini games, but also offers free and challenge play for each game. A time consuming challenge indeed. My only complaint is the lack of a bot feature for the multiplayer games... for those times when a lot of friends are not available. But, nevertheless, It is a great game for everyone and you just can't beat the suggested retail price. Go out an buy it for Wario's belly's sake. You wont be dissapointed. (...)

wario is a joke

Wario Ware Mega Micro Games was a huge hit on the handheld GBA! And no wonder! With 100s of minigames it was instantly addictive and had a warped sense of humor. Now it comes to the GameCube, but oddly pretty much INTACT other than a multiplayer option. Think of it as the ultimate party game and you'll be fine! The most fun multiplayer game in a long time, and nobody has to explain how to play.

They have opened up the ability to play and practice the minigames in a library section of the game. Now it's great if you want to learn how to do one you are stumbling over again and again, but it's kind of a cheat. You can become familiar with all the games and how to win pretty quickly. Which makes you no fun to play with when your friends grab a controller with you. And that is where the fun is! It also makes the solo version less fun because you can pretty much go to any level in the library and control the speed.

I would have expected some more advanced graphics, or more involved games ... but this one plays EXACTLY like the GBA -- you use the directional pad/joystick and the A button and that is it! People missing the Atari 2600 rejoice! The games are funny, and if you don't have the GBA version this version of WARIOWARE is the way to go -- your friends will love you. But if you do have that handheld ... you may want to rent or play your friends and just show them that you are already the master at picking noses, putting in eye drops, and teasing kittens!

Totally Funny and Weird!

It's me, WARIO!!! Sorry. It's me, Will Whitehurst, and I can tell you about what I think about WarioWare for Gamecube. There are zany party games that you can unlock. The party games are listed here:

Survival Fever-Jimmy
Wobbly Bobbly-Kat and Ana
Milky Way Delirium-Dribble and Spitz
Balloon Bang-Dr. Crygor
Listen To The Doctor-Mona
Card e-Cards-9-Volt
All For One-Orbulon
Jump Forever!-Bonus
Paper Plane-Bonus
1 Controller Survival-Bonus
1 Controller Jump Forever!-Bonus

Plus, every 200+ microgame in the GBA version is here!
My Conclusion: If you loved WW,I:MMG, then you will love Mega Party Games!

Party Games:11
Microgames:200+
Control:10
Graphics:10
Sound:9

TOTAL: 1,000,000 (BUY THIS GAME)

Bizarre

That's the word that most aptly describes this game. I have never played anything like this before.

"Mini-games" is not a good word to describe the games that comprise "Warioware." "Micro-games" is more like it. You'd think you can't lose with 200+ of these games, but know that each one lasts about an average of 3 seconds. Usually you can finish them by pressing one button at the right time, or moving the joystick in one direction. You're given no instructions, except for a one-word command (Shoot! Escape! Choose!), and half the fun of each game is seeing how quickly you can figure it out.

The single-player game is played by finishing 24 "micro-games" in rapid succession, followed by a longer "boss stage." This was really fun the first time I tried it, but once I got through all the stages, I had no desire to play again. And unless I overlooked it, there's no multi-player games - just the option to take turns playing one-player micro-games and compete for score.

The graphics are not good but are 100% appropriate for this type of game. Most of the micro-games have "retro" graphics and are designed to look like old Nintendo or arcade games. This was the best part of the game for me, as there are micro-games based on The Legend of Zelda, Dr. Mario, Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, Metroid, and even the old Virtual Boy games. All of the games paid homage to old arcade games in their simplicity and ancient-looking graphics.

But I'd recommend a rental for this one. The replay value seems minimal at best. If anything, I might buy this to make other people play it and see their reaction to how incredibly strange it is. But probably not.

One Word, Rental

This game is definitely not worth the $30 I paid for it. I bought the game after reading some fairly good reviews and thinking that it would be similar to Mario Party. I also thought it would be a good party game, but none of my friends enjoyed playing this game.
Every game is about 3 seconds at the longest, and none of them have an explanation other than one word, such as "DODGE". 200 games seems like a lot of fun action, but none of them are really fun. Here's a typical game: A bar is dropped, and you have to catch it by hitting "A" at the right time. No explanantion other than one word such as "CATCH", and the game is over in 2 seconds. You either catch it or you don't, then on to the next game.
If you have Attention Deficit Disorder and enjoy playing 10 pointless games within 30 seconds, this game is for you. If you are considering buying this game. I highly suggest you rent it first.

Some are missing the point...

The *beauty* of the game is that the micro-games are incredibly short and offer no explanation as to what you are supposed to do--it's not a flaw.

All the micro-games have only 5 controls: up, down, left, right, and button. In a couple seconds, you have to figure out what to do. With so few controls and such a short window, you *know* it's going to be something very simple, you just have to try and figure it out.

Even if you fail, you usually glean some info as to what you *should* have done, so the next time that puzzle comes around, you'll be ready for it.

It's hilarious to play this game in a group, and watch people try to do the right thing in that breif moment. Everyone gradually starts to identify the puzzles as they begin to repeat, and then it's about who has the fastest hands and best learning curve.

This is a great party game; just encourage all participants to go with the flow, and not get frustrated by the lack of instruction. Figuring out what to do in a couple of seconds without any instruction is really the heart of the game, and it's great fun if you give in to it.
