Filed under: News

This item has been going in and out stock all morning, so it will require a bit of patience and providence to take advantage of this one-day deal at Amazon. If you don't mind spending the rest of your day watching the product page, however, WarioWare: Smooth Moves could be yours for only $25 (s/h included), half of its regular price! Just think of it as another minigame -- every click on your browser's reload button is another opportunity for you to win! Bwahahaha!

[Thanks, Adam!]

When the professor is away, Wii will play

Reader Matthew, who attends George Washington University, sent us this video of him rocking the Wii on a pair of projector screens. In getting some time in with WarioWare Smooth Moves, we find ourselves incredibly jealous of the fun these fine chaps are having. Of course, we'll be the ones laughing when they get the bill for this semester.

Head past the post break to catch the video.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves' heightened gaming vignettes

Posted Mar 19th 2007 1:45PM by Eric Caoili

Frantic sets of microgames have been the standard of every entry in the WarioWare series, forcing gamers to assess and complete outlandish objectives at a frightening pace. While each title has its own "gimmick" with its microgames (e.g. Twisted!'s motion sensor), WarioWare Touched! and WarioWare: Smooth Moves have the responsibility of proving the newly-launched systems they debuted on. Working with these quick bursts of gameplay, these two games promote how the features of the DS and Wii can be taken advantage of, providing hundreds of examples in an enjoyable, playable format.

The New Gamer has an editorial on the steps Smooth Moves takes to successfully advertise the Wii remote's capabilities. Each five-second game manages to quickly retrain us on how we're interacting with the controller and what's on our screens, using condensed levels of popular games, memorable stances, and familiar situations for these brief vignettes. Because of these design decisions, adapting to the 100+ microgames ends up being more fun than intimidating, vindicating the Wii remote with each satisfying bite of gameplay.

Japanese pop star shows us some Smooth Moves

The Japanese pop star is none other than Ayumi Hamasaki, who is (according to her Wikipedia page) one of the country's most famous singers. Well, for how famous she is, she's not used any of her wealth or free time to master the minigames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. She flops many of the minigames, including using the tennis racket to bounce a ball and shaking a puppy's hand. Not only that, but she's just about the worst at the chaffeur boss stage we've ever seen.

Still though, the video is worth a laugh as just about anyone looks like a total idiot when they're playing this game. Be sure to keep an eye on Wii Fanboy as we're set to give away a copy of WarioWare: Smooth Moves to one lucky reader.

Metareview - WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Wario's latest adventure, and the Wii's latest release in quite some time, has had time to marinate in the hands of critics and we're glad to report that most of their opinions fall within the 'absolutely love it' category. We haven't had the chance to try it ourselves, however given our love of previous titles bearing the fellow's name, we're sure to enjoy it just as much, if not more.

Sure, the game does not support 16:9, but can that really get in the way of enjoying the game that much?

GameSpot (91/100) informs us of just how wonderful this game really is: "It's a terrific use of the Wii's unique control features, it looks amazing, and in short, it should be a part of your library."

Nintendo Power (90/100) also provides much praise for the game: "Though Smooth Moves may not seem deep, the fact that it offers physical play and draws a crowd should make it a permanent fixture in a lot of Wii consoles." [Feb. 2007, p.92]

IGN (82/100) is not so quick to praise the game: "It's not perfect, it isn't the best in the series, but WarioWare: Smooth Moves is an essential piece of the Wii collection, as it's as much fun ripping through it in single player adventures as it is to shove the controller off on unsuspecting houseguests or non-gamers months and years down the road."

That's right, with the impending release of WarioWare: Smooth Moves next week, we find it to be the only thing on our mind. With all the other available games on the Wii, excluding one, being there from day one, we find ourselves a bit parched and in need of a thirst-quenching new release. WarioWare: Smooth Moves is like a pitcher of water in the desert. We can't be the only ones dying for this game?

So, whilst waiting, what are you playing this weekend? Will you be hitting up your Gamefly account or stopping at your local rental spot to pick up a new game for the weekend? Or are you still chipping away, ever-so-slowly at another title such as Twilight Princess or Call of Duty 3? Personally, we plan on celebrating the weekend of football playoffs (go Birds!) with a little Madden 07.

Smooth Moves through smooth video

OK, we enjoy the quick, pick-up-and-play style that the WarioWare games have presented in the past, but Smooth Moves might be taking things a little too far in terms of content. We've watched this video several times and are certain that a minigame does, in fact, ask you to spray down naked men with champagne.

Yes, you read that right.

While it isn't gratuitous and we assume the video is safe for work overall, just a word of warning to some of you who are incredibly scared at the prospect of shaking a bottle of champagne and letting it loose upon unsuspecting, naked men.
