WarioWare will probably go down as one of the original classics of the Nintendo DS. It did seemingly well on the GBA, then went on to get a spin-off on the Wii as well.
The reason it'll go down as one of the classics is not because of how wonderful the game is, but because there aren't that many copies of the game available. It's more of a collector's item than anything.
Full of quirky little minigames that require you to do everything from pulling the string of a party popper to snipping the snot of the silhouette of a woman. Very interesting indeed.
I had a problem with the amount of time it took to get to each of these series of minigames when you start the game out. I tapped Wario in the beginning to get the game started, and it wasn't too bad. It tried my patience a bit to get to the minigames, because the storyline is absolutely horrible. But that was nothing compared to the next series of minigames (the girl's). It took so long to get past her stupid story and to the minigames. I found myself to be thoroughly irritated by the time I was playing the second series of minigames. Had the plot been a little thicker, maybe I would have enjoyed it more.
It's got lasting appeal, cause you can go back and try to master the minigames you've already played. In that sense, it's somewhat nice. Not the best game available, but a good title to own.
This is one of the few games I didn't have the luxury of retail available for. I had to buy it on Ebay after it was flushed out of the retail stores and a little harder to find. Wouldn't be surprised if its value went up monetarily as well. Keep an eye out for that. The notoriety of valuable Playstation 1 games got me to thinking that it could be a possibility for DS titles in the future, seeing as the DS has found wild popularity. Other titles I think may follow suit:
Lost In Blue (I have no idea why, just hard to find brand new)
Advance Wars: Dual Strike (Out of production, price going up on Ebay)
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (Greatest Hits version released)
I may make a listmania for this category of DS games, as I watch the average price on Amazon and on Ebay and see if the value is going up.
