WarioWare=Innovative Awesomeness
Posted by: j_john | From: September 4, 2005
WarioWare, Inc. "Mega Microgames", released for the GameBoy Advance in 2003 did a great job of highlighting the GBA's ability to provide incredibly fun and quick gaming sessions (most of them lasting mere seconds). I played a bit of the Gamecube version which added some excellent multiplayer additions, and checked out the DS title Touched, but it wasn't until the latest GBA version Twisted came out that I got hooked again.
The unique gimmick with Twisted is the gyroscope that is attached to the game cartridge. Instead of using the directional pad to move your character, you twist the actual GameBoy itself! While I had a bunch of fun moving around while playing, I thought I had exhausted the fun from the game after finishing all the levels. However, I recently discovered an innovative (and incredibly challenging) new way to play Twisted--via the GameCube GameBoy Player!! Check out this video to see what happens.
(Also--check out another great Twisted video from Les Pozdena.)
If you added weights to the 'Cube, you'd have yourself a revolution in fitness equipment!
