-Cartridge is not even remotely portable, it's huge and the rumble function will devour your battery.

-The games are about the same as Wario Ware 1, but with analog control. Some great, some blah, some stupid, all lose their luster after any amount of extended play.

-Its kinda hard to see whats going on on the screen during games where you're required to shake it violently.

-There are lots more "neverending gobstopper" versions of the better minigames available, but unlocking them is a maddening chore. Whenever you beat a stage boss, you get a random souvenier (out of, like, 200.) About 1/5 of these are games, the remainder are worthless bullshit like a bell to jingle or a teddy bear to roll and it's incredibly frustrating to finish a boss and get another bullshit prize.

-The tilt function is kinda iffy. The cartridge recalibrates after every game (so straighten it fast!) but turning too far in a game that calls for small movements can throw the calibration off by several degrees which can be incredibly frustrating in games where you need to align something, especially the mad scientist boss level.

-Several reviewers made mention of the one minigame that requires you to hold still as sko brilliant example of how sensitive the gyroscopic sensor was. These guys must be the most gittery motherfuckers in the world because I never got so much as a quiver.

Overall: If you know of a place that rents gba games, go for it, but without portability and its one big draw being a glorified analog stick for the gba I'd say stick with the original.
