Game design in WarioWare

WarioWare on the GameBoy Advance is one of the most interesting games I've played. It is actually a perculiar game where you go through many many mini games. It's so interesting and out-of-the-ordinary that Game Studies, an online journal of computer game research, is looking at how WarioWare can teach us about games. Interesting read.
WarioWare, finally, is fascinating because of its message to game scholars: we can reflect upon games by making them. Experimental games are a powerful tool for thinking about and communicating ideas about games.
