WarioWare: Smooth Moves 2006

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems' party game for the Wii, released in December 2006 in Japan and January 2007 elsewhere, the fifth WarioWare. It is built on microgames of about five seconds. Each needs you to hold the Wii Remote in a particular way, such as vertically or with the bottom end against your nose. In each stage the microgames come one after another, and failing one costs one of four lives. Some use the Nunchuk. Each stage is represented by a WarioWare character and loosely connected by a story. After the single player stages, a hotseat mode unlocks in which one Wii Remote is shared by up to 12 players. Each tiny challenge is still a physical one, since you hold the controller in odd positions.
