Warioware is art.
Loki Power \| 3:34 PM on 02.13.2008	6 comments

When you ask most people what games would qualify as "Games as Art." You would hear the
same basic answers. Bioshock, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, the Suda 51 games. But one you
will never hear is the Warioware series. I think that is a shame really. Warioware is what art
is, fun to look at. The colors are bright, the sound design is amazing, and the style of the
graphics change every microgame. remember when people first saw Pop-art? their reaction
was What the F@%K is this? I uttered the same sentence when i saw Warioware. Warioware is
the Pop-art of video games.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, so disagree if you must, but I think the Warioware series is
fun to play, and to look at.

Heh, I never thought about it that way before, but it's an interesting point.

WarioWare could be considered a commentary on our society and all the weird things that we do on an everyday basis without thinking.

And I still consider WarioWare: Twisted! to be one of the best and most addicting games of all time. :3

I agree completly. I think other quirky games like Katamari and Earthbound should be considered art as well.

I always loved that Sniff! microgame.

warioware on the Wii and DS are among my favourite games for these consoles, and the Wii version is just a blast to play with lots of people! ( 12 player-couch-action FTW! )

Art is subjective. So a thing can be art regardless of what it is as long as you accept it to be art in your own reality. Therefore anything can art, just as long as someone acknowlegdes it as art.

I love that line-art style used in some of Mona's games, particularly the boss stage.

Good call.

I'd classify the WarioWare series, as well as Rhythm Tengoku, as all being dada-ist works of art.
