It does soften the blow a little but to me makes it an even more no brainer to include with the Switch as this could be the perfect game to appeal to the casuals. I can't see many spending an additional $50 for it.

 

[Sendou]

1€ per minigame would be alright. Choose the price or the amount of content according to that and I would consider it for sure.

 

[topplehat]

Kinda surprised this game isn't a Warioware.

 

[xxracerxx]

 

[Shiggy]

Kinda surprised they aren't charging full price for each minigame.

 

[dalindeck]

It appears to be at least 24. I wrote a post about this on the NintendoSwitch subreddit, but there's 8 known games as you see here:

And then there's another 16 games that are different as seen here:

I want to know what the final number is.

 

[Enduin]

Kinda surprised this game isn't a Warioware.

I've been super disappointed it isn't.

 

[Don.Abbade]

This game should be "free", like Wii Sports. No way i'm buying this for $60.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

$50 is way too much, there is not even stuff happening in the screen..

 

[Effect]

Kinda surprised this game isn't a Warioware.

Wouldn't be surprised if it started as one and is made by the same team.

$50 is still a lot.

I hope they push out a demo to download to at least give people a taste of what this game is like. That would go a long way of selling people on the game that might be on the fence due to the price. Especially if the games work as well as people have been saying.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Are you? Even they aren't this bad. Not sure how that can surprise anyone at all.

1000 dollars for all? Hmm. Makes no sense.

[watershed]

Copy Dance, imaginary PingPong, and Air Guitar look to be the dumbest.

I honestly don't understand imaginary PingPong. Wii Sports was famous for its Wii Tennis. Wii Sports Resort went even further with Table Tennis that was fun and more competitive. Now we have invisible table tennis. I don't get it.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

The whole package just looks so disposable to me. Like, I get the novelty of some of these minigames, but I don't think that they'll have any lasting appeal. Why would you want to play these over and over? This is no Wii Sports.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

sarcasm

Maybe

 

[B4s5C]

Fuck Evilore

 

[_Clash_]

Who knows, maybe everyone besides GAF buys it

 

[FirmBizBws]

3 dollars per game isn't that bad

Yeah I don't get how its meant to work. Are we meant to guess where the ball is supposed to be?

Think of it as a 2-player competitive Rhythm Heaven minigame.

 

[ThanksVision]

Okay this is much, much better. Honestly I'll happily pay $50 for 24 of these minigames that I can bring up anywhere with fam and friends. They are dumb as hell but they are active and A LOT of my family members would immediately stop caring if I put a 'normal' multiplayer game in front of them i.e. them having to match what's on screen with button input

E: I know lots here have been ragging on it cause there is nothing on screen, but I think there are a handful of more casual gamers or ppl not interested in video games at all in my life that would be less dismissive of this because it's simple physical interaction. That's all I'm trying to say

 

[Dark Cloud]

Nintendo needs this to sell to casuals from the start.

 

[Poyunch]

If they wanted to price it that high they shoulda done the Wii Sports Club model.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I'm so happy I own this game.

 

[OricWindstar]

That's certainly better than I initially thought. Still shouldn't be $50 IMO, but I guess I'll wait to hear more.

 

[Enduin]

3 dollars per game isn't that bad

WarioWare Smooth Moves had 204 mini games for the same price. That's a quarter a game.

It also had graphics.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

What does a meeting look like over at Nintendo.

"Ok, so the Milking mini game is done for 1, 2, Switch. Just 15 more mini games and it's ready to launch. Any other orders of business to discuss? What? A new 2D Metroid? We don't have the resources for that right now. Plus, what if it didn't sell........"

[Papercuts]

I expected more given the price/simplicity of them.

 

[Coreda]

These stock images are only being used for the promo site, right?

 

[reelbigtink]

I'm hosting a big "get drunk and play party games" party the week after release so I guess I'm buying this. Good to see there's at least a decent variety of games.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Should've packed it in with the system then.

 

[Poyunch]

But can I look someone in the eye intensely as we both milk an imaginary cow?

 

[Will the Thrill]

It doesn't matter what the actual baby game will be, this is all I'm gonna do

loljk I'm not gonna buy this thing since it's 50 freaking dollars. This should of been built in/packed in, and or if it was separate the MAX should of been like 10 bucks. They probably spent more money filming the videos than working on the game.

Spoiler

It should of been a Warioware game anyway

 

[NickatNite]

And all are played without the need to face the screen? Based upon sound and rumble?

 

[Air]

I'm guessing about 25. Would be $2 a pop on an app store

 

[Shiggy]

Are you? Even they aren't this bad. Not sure how that can surprise anyone at all.

1000 dollars for all? Hmm. Makes no sense.

With how they priced the system and its accessories, it's surely a big surprise this game is just 50€ and not more.

 

[Spy]

This is my assumption.

 

[McBryBry]

I'm not. This is meant as something to get the Wii audience who don't normally play games. Make it a Warioware game and that detracts from the appeal for them since Wario can be a little out there for some.

 

[Glowsquid]

I've been super disappointed it isn't.

I guess it's similar in that it's a minigame compilation with quirky humor, but the structure and mechanics are completely different from the (good) WarioWare games

I suppose it is vaguely more similar to Game & Wario (though still superficially so), but the last thing WW needs is a Game & Wario 2.

 

[asagami_]

I hope Wario Ware characters be here. The meta commentary would be amazing.

 

[thepenguin55]

Ah good ole GB.

I'm getting a Switch and will mostly definitely be passing on this game. This game seems like a WarioWare game but one that's devoid of any charm and has terrible micro games.

 

[chillybright]

And all are played without the need to face the screen? Based upon sound and rumble?

Depends on the game.

In most games you are supposed to state at your opponent's eyes.

In Milk you are supposed to shut your eyes and feel the breast.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

This is good news. Really glad I'll get this for $40 and change via the Amazon Prime discount.

 

[Frozenprince]

I need waaaaaaaaaay more than 20 minigames that are fun one time and unplayable without another human being if I'm gonna spend $50 on this.

 

[15strong]

If this game had the warioware formula where it was switching beteeen mini games and had a ton of fun and small activities, I can see it being very fun.

 

[jax]

$2 a game? Worth it!

 

[SinCityAssassin]

"Upon its initial trailer, several commentators have compared the game to the WarioWare series. After playing the demo, Ben Skipper of International Business Times felt overwhelmed by the game's innuendos." -Wikipedia article

They better charge a dollar per innuendo.

 

[Darknight]

any links to the video? looks hella funny.

Micro-games, not mini-games.
