	WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$ - GameCritics.com
		WarioWare is centered on the concept of the 'microgame.' Microgames are games that present the player with a fairly simple task, like blocking a penalty kick or successfully identifying which of four different objects is different in a crucial way.
		Although many of the microgames are logical and conceivably possible to pass on the first try, huge portions of the game are going to be initially obscure and will only be finished after the player has already made several attempts.
		Some microgames are so willfully obtuse that only several rounds of Assimilation will allow the player to discern not only what to do, but even what exactly is taking place on screen.

	"The Next Level" GBA Game Review - Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$
		Wario and Co. have over 200 microgames for you to review, each with three levels of difficulty.
		Apparently, Wario hasn't played a game since before he began starring in them, as all of his microgames (think mini games, but more mini) require only the D-pad and the A button, and quite frequently, only one of the two.
		The microgames vary wildly in terms of level of graphical detail.

	.:Nintendo Insider:. Intelligent Gaming Coverage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Each group here compiles 25 microgames of a similar theme into one group (except the first game, which has only 13), the last microgame actually being a “boss fight” that is longer than the 24 microgames preceding it, but still relying on quick reflexes and fast, frantic action.
		The microgames range from a collie with which you must shake hands; a nose up which you must stick your finger; a Metroid scene where you, as Samus, must destroy Mother Brain; a tennis match where you must return a serve; and a plant that you must water.
		If he wins the microgame, a big turtle is added to the weight scales of all the other players, while if he loses the microgame, he gets a small turtle.

		During a stage, microgames are thrown at you rapid-fire, the next one beginning almost as soon as the other ends, giving you little time to adjust.
		At certain intervals during a stage, you'll see the "Speed up!" warning, which means the microgames will start to move faster, giving you less time to complete them.
		These minigames are as simple and fun as the regular "microgames," and the controls are even simpler: Player one uses the L button, and player two uses the R button.

	Silicon Fusion >> Reviews >> Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$
		Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ throws more than two hundred different five-second challenges and you'll not only have to figure out what to do and how to do it, you'll also need to complete them before the timer on the level runs out and you move on to the next mini-game.

	Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Microgames - GBA review
		Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ is easily one of the strangest games to come out this year, or any year for that matter.
		As such, the player is placed into a series of stages, each of which centers around a particular designer’s microgames.
		There are even games based on more obscure bits of Nintendo history, including one based on their light gun shooting ranges that they operated in the 1970s, and another centered around none other than R.O.B. the Robot (when was the last time you heard that name?).

		As far as this website is concerned, a microgame is any inexpensive--no more than $15--wargame or conflict simulation which is generally also small in size and quick-playing.
		It's no coincidence that these are the circumstances under which many of us microgame fans originally found them--in the early 80s while still in school.
		Although they weren't the first small-format wargames to hit the market, the MicroGames coined a lasting name for the format and their popularity convinced other game manufacturers to release similar small-format science fiction and fantasy games.

	[No title]
		Return to Mavericks Boardgame Closet MAVERICK'S MICROGAME LIST Microgames were a phenomenon that originated in the late 70's, exploded in the 80's, and after dwindling away are still produced by a few publishers today.
		Although there is no precise definition of what a microgame is, they are generally small-format games sold in either a ziplock bag or "pocket" box.
		Although the companies that produced microgames took different routes, the games all seemed to share certain attrative qualities: diverse subject matter compared to boxed games, very inexpensive to try out or collect, minimal storage factor, and to some extent a leaning toward science fiction and fantasy themes rather than traditional historical wargames.

	Wario Ware, Inc.:Mega Microgame$ (gba: 2003): Reviews
		There's certainly a lot to dig into if the game sucks you in, be it the attitude presented by the story and characters or the sheer craziness of the microgames.

	WARIOWARE INC. MEGA MICROGAME$
		Some people may see instant gratification becoming more of a trend in the videogame industry with the amount of RPGs on the decline, and plenty of games that you can just jump in and begin to play.
		The sound is ok, but it gets annoying quick, I had it turned off most of the time and didn't really miss much.
		The only downfall is that you might find it a little short, but it still is one of the most unique titles I've played in a while and comes recommended.

	Warioware, Inc.: Macro Microgame$ GBA Review
		The sticker sheets, which include game characters, wigs, a mustache, and words like “scum” and “potato” can be used on a number of glossy pages in the manual, each devoted one of Wario’s friends in the game.
		Warioware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ is bizarre and weird, even to Nintendo fans who might think they know what to expect.
		If you can get past it’s strange mix of arcade surreal, Japanese schoolgirl silliness, and techno “out there” elements then you’ll find it an ideal collection of time-wasters and short attention span fixes.

	[Review] GBA - WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (Soap on a Rope)
		Instead of playing through one game, you play through hundreds of microgames that last only a few seconds apiece.
		You keep going until the game is too fast for you and you lose.
		Also, the first time you play each round of games, you finish with a "boss game," which is a slightly more complex microgame.

	Wario Ware, INC. Mega Microgame$ Review - GamersMark
		There’s a wide array of sounds and music, ranging from surprisingly crisp Japanese vocal pieces to radio-DJ-sounding mix transition effects to the requisite digitized voices.
		All of his microgames require only the D-pad and the A button, and quite frequently, only one of the two.
		Here’s the catch, you only have around five seconds to clear each game before moving on to the next.
