I'm extremely excited for the new WarioWare game coming out for DS later this week, WarioWare: Touched!  I can't really explain just how much I'm really looking forward to it, given my affection for the first game.  I think the game is perfect for anyone with ADD or ADHD.  This game is lightning quick, and incredibly fun.  The whole concept of playing mini-games that last between 3-7 seconds is just a sheer thrill-ride that keeps you on your toes, and ready for more.  Not to mention that some of the mini-games in the first title on GBA had a ton of nostalgia factor for those of us older gamers that remember things like the Virtual Boy, SuperScope 6, and R.O.B. 

If WarioWare: Touched! can come even close to the fun and excitement generated by the first game, it's going to be a killer-app for the DS.  Granted that I know that Castlevania DS WILL be THE killer-app for the handheld, I think this one might just keep people happy until that game's release sometime this summer/fall.  Here's hoping that the game lives up to its predecessor, because I think it would take a really big screw-up to mess up something as simple and as fun as WarioWare.

BreakmanX (AKA Matthew Nyquist) founded BreakmanX.com in 2001 after having small video game websites since around 1996. Things really took off in September of 2002 when he started The Game Show with Richie. BreakmanX.com quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers as the crew covered major industry events and interviewed top industry talent. Break later went to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to get his MFA in Film and TV Production. He worked in Hollywood for seven years with people like Fred Roos (The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars) and Dane Davis (The Matrix). He's now gone full circle and returned to Kansas to write and direct a feature film (EyesOpenMovie.com), relaunch The Game Show (BreakmanX.com), and spend his day time hours as an tenured Associate Professor.
