WarioWare: Touched

The WarioWare series of games are some of the most innovative of recent years. WarioWare Twisted was pretty good, but the control scheme was limited and often counterintuitive. WarioWare's vision of simple offbeat games is perfectly wed to the DS's touch screen design.

The microgames are fresh and fun. Almost every game offers something new, although there are a few that are basically clones of each other. One thing I like about the games is the art style. Each microgame has a distinctive appearance and character. The games are also very easy to figure out and play. Most make use of the stylus although a couple use the microphone.

Besides games, there are toys to collect. Some of these are pretty fun, like orbit ball, and some are just weird, like the talking grandma. The game lasts a decently long time, and is fairly replayable, although the microgames do get repetitive after a while.
