Review: Warioware: Get It Together

You’ve made it; it’s time since I came on and launched an editorial section for SwordChomp we knew the legendary day would arrive. It’s time to review a Wario Game! Warioware is an insane series and probably one of the most objectively strange and entertaining things that Nintendo has ever done, and I’ve been head over heels for it since way back in the GBA era.

Warioware: Get It Together is Intelligent System’s latest foray into the world of Wario and the Diamond City crew of weirdos that all hang out together for some reason. Get It Together hits some of the micro game-highs of the series past but struggles in the spots it tries to change, namely in being a cooperative experience and offering an interesting choice of character options to play around with.

Review: Paper Mario: The Origami King

I have a strange relationship with the Paper Mario series. The first two entries in the series, the ones that stray more closely to the typical RPG formula are some of my favorite games ever. Then comes a series of not so great titles. Some swear by Super Paper Mario, but it just wasn’t my thing, then follow-ups like Sticker Star and Color Splash seemed to miss the mark altogether. I have good news for any existing fans who were feeling cautiously optimistic about Paper Mario’s latest outing. While not a return to form, it’s an excellent game, and possibly most interestingly, I don’t think I’ve ever played anything quite like this.
