i say warioware isn't that casual because from none of the people who bought wii as their very first console found warioware to be enjoyable (and it comes to... about 20 people). most found it completely pointless and actually too hard, and a couple who borrowed it got stuck on some levels that they couldn't beat the "boss". personally it's my most enjoyable experience of all video games i have ever played, but not for anybody that i know of.

warioware is still casual in the sense it's accessible, but it's not "that" casual. the campaign, which you have to finish to unlock to multiplayer modes, is far from casual. you need to be pretty dedicated to put in the time just to unlock that mode, which is utterly ridiculous.

EDIT: example of a boss they can't beat: the light sabre boss. "it's so hard! i always end up dying." and of course, they stopped playing the game, period.

Where are you getting this information from? Do you work at a game store or something? I've introduced WarioWare to a total of eight people who never play video games. All of them found it accessible and very fun (multiplayer wasn't unlocked for any of them).

 


they're my friends and my relatives. and no, i don't work at a game store. relatives are mostly 30+, friends mostly in their 20s. most of my relatives dissed the game off, friends liked them, but like i said, they had trouble beating the game and gave up on it after trying it for one night.

 


O.o I've had friends (16-21) all play it and enjoy it with virtually no learning curve.  I've had parents of friends play it and they had maybe a ten minute learning curve?  I don't see how it's THAT hard.  Heck, my non-gaming friends even beat me out soundly on some levels.
