\"\"<\/a>The weirdest thing about this game is not that it\u2019s a WarioWare styled title where they take your photos and make mini-games out of them.\u00a0 No the weird thing is that this is a new mobile game developed and published by Nintendo!\u00a0 I thought they were done with mobile, but I guess not!\u00a0 Anyway, Pictonico is available on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

You can download a demo for free, which lets you try three games.\u00a0 You can purchase volumes for 8 bucks and 6 bucks each, and they contain 50 to 80 games.\u00a0 I\u2019m only reviewing the demo here.\u00a0 But yeah this game is just like WarioWare.\u00a0 They\u2019ll take pictures from your photo album and make games out of them.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be given a prompt and must figure out and do what it says in a few seconds.\u00a0 And the games are pretty weird and silly.\u00a0 One has you moving your jaw with the touch screen to eat food. Another has you lather shampoo into hair.\u00a0 And the last one in the demo has you moving a lollipop around so your face can lick it.<\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s funny is that had this game had the WarioWare branding and characters, I probably would\u2019ve bought the volumes.\u00a0 I know that\u2019s shallow, but at least I admit it.\u00a0 But as it stands, I don\u2019t really want to support that kind of nickel and diming in gaming so I\u2019m not going past the demo unless I get REALLY bored.\u00a0 Also I think this game would\u2019ve fared better had it been released five or more years ago.\u00a0 But if you like WarioWare styled games, you might want to try this one out.\u00a0 At least it\u2019s not TOO expensive.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing too violent or objectionable here, at least from what I can tell.\u00a0 If you\u2019re ok with your kids playing WarioWare, they\u2019ll be fine here.\u00a0 The game says that photos won\u2019t be shared online, but parental supervision is still recommended for the in-game purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
