For anyone interested in game or music design, this lets you be creative in a new way. Superb. [May 2010, p.78]

I love WarioWare D.I.Y. as a creative outlet: game builders have been around since the '80s but this is the first time I found myself truly engrossed in the process of building a game from scratch because of how simple yet powerful it is.

Fans looking to purchase WarioWare D.I.Y. simply to play the microgames might be a bit disappointed with the lack of variety in the included titles, but those who are willing to put in the time and effort to become familiar with the creation tools will likely find a very powerful and rewarding gaming experience limited only by their imaginations and free time.

WarioWare D.I.Y. is one of the best game creation tools we've yet witnessed and deserves to be picked up by each and every DS owner without hesitation.

While not without its limitations, WarioWare: Do It Yourself provides creative handheld gamers with a wide range of excellent game-creating tools. If you've ever entertained the idea of making your very own microgames, you'll find tons of entertainment in Wario's latest outing.

Every step of the way, you'll feel the classic Nintendo touch. [Issue#96, p.98]

Using the simple, lighthearted game approach from WarioWare titles and pairing that with an actual use for the design tools in Mario Paint, Nintendo has brought us a great new tool for creating our own Microgames.
