More than 100 timed Nanogame (very short game) challenges run on the 3DS. Like the uDraw version (for the Wii), this 3DS version is fun and well designed. Like WarioWare, the challenges that last no more than five seconds each, and require extremely fast reaction time. Some of the games are very creative; but some are equally hard, and it is easy to get frustrated, as they require a few times through before you figure out what you're supposed to do. In other words, failure is part of the instructions. Content includes several video clips featuring Patchy the Pirate, plus a well designed drawing activity, where you can sketch using a pallet of colors. If you liked WarioWare, you'll love this game. And the open ended drawing features don't hurt either. Created for THQ by WayForward.
