It’s fast, chaotic, brilliantly stupid, and exactly what the Joy-Con were built for. And now, with physical copies trending again ahead of Switch 2, Move It deserves another look — especially for multiplayer fans who never clicked with 1-2 Switch.

Motion Madness, Refined
This isn’t just another microgame rush. Move It! improves on WarioWare: Smooth Moves with cleaner detection, better pacing, and tighter Joy-Con tracking. The Form Pose system is back, asking players to hold their controllers like a chicken, a vampire, a robot — and that’s just to get started.
There’s no time to second-guess. Microgames last just a few seconds. You’ll go from brushing teeth to dodging UFOs to squatting in a Roman bath without breathing. It’s absurd, addictive, and physically hilarious.
Multiplayer That Actually Works
This WarioWare Move It Switch review wouldn’t be complete without highlighting how polished the multiplayer truly is — a rare feat for motion-based games in 2023.
Where 1-2 Switch felt like a tech demo, Move It feels like a full game. Up to four players can take turns in Party Mode, and the game adds just enough structure to keep things competitive without slowing down the chaos.
And yes, the cutscenes are still beautifully dumb. Every character has their own tiny storyline between rounds — from fitness freaks to haunted mummies.
Final Thoughts
WarioWare: Move It! may have launched late in the Switch’s life, but it’s a perfect reminder of why motion controls matter when they’re used with purpose and personality. It’s weird. It’s tight. It’s peak Wario.
If this really is the last big WarioWare on the current system, it’s a fantastic note to go out on.
