How i love wario ware.
It is a passion of mine, the ability to switch on your game boy/Ds and just play for five minuites each time almost garantied to be playing at least one minigame you have rarely played before.
Oh how i sit there with my game boy and just blast through a few before trying to work out how i can emulate that for my upcoming game.
This is why when i saw this game on Ebay i knew i had to try it out.
Neo Poke lives in your Neo Geo Pocket (or gp32 here) hes the one that controls how much fun you have, by going to work and working o minigames that you can play when hes finished.
You don't feed Poke-kun; you don't teach, reward or discipline him (though dropping heavy 'acme' type objects on his head can be enjoyable); if he has to go to the toilet all you can do is watch his agony and pray that he finds the bathroom door. In short, you don't care for Poke-kun in any sense and Poke-kun, for his part, never really acknowledges your existence. Your interaction with him is basically limited to triggering various sight thingies in his room which affect his being in one way or another; either making him sad, or angry, or confusing him, or making him happy. Really, since the sight gags are randomized, the virtual pet sim has more in common with a casino/gambling simulator than other virtual pets like Chaos from Sonic Adventure.
When you press a, you trigger a front door action, and some one will enter, be it a fat Sumo person, or a sexy lady (see above) etc.
EMULATING
There is a few minor problems with playing this game on your gp32 currently.
as the main emulator, and i must say i think its the only, NeoGP32 dosnt support sound there is none. thats that.
the second is that the sprite of Neo Poke is screwed up. on every rom there is on the internet, there is a screwed up sprite. i assume this has something to do with the emulator.
this is not a major problem as all the rest are fine and the game is still fun x 10
MY MARKS
GRAPHICS: All great and well animated apart from Neo Poke being buggy
gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console OUT OF 5
PLAYABILITY: Amazing when you have the minigames and the virtual pet bit is very playable too gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console OUT OF 5
LASTABILITY: Will last a good while as there are about 60 minigames and they dont all come at once gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console OUT OF 5
OVERALL:gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console gp32_console OUT Of 5
In my opinion this is one of the best games ever to grace the neo geo pocket, and i highly recommend this to lovers of wario ware, and casual gamers as well.
lets just hope that the sprite issue is fixed in the next GP32 NGP emulator.
Thanks and goodbye.
