| George Wood, Flight of Fantasies | n.d | "Donkey Kong Country is truly perfect. If you do not get this amazing new generation of Donkey Kong Country madness, you are stupid. Yes, I know it's insulting, but that's also the truth. If you're a true video game fan, you will not hesitate in the slightest bit to buy this piece of gaming history." |
| Mr. Goo, Die Hard Game Fan | 100 out of 100 | "When you see Donkey Kong Country for the first time, you'll do what I did ... turn into a blabbering, drooling idiot! This is the most amazing 16-bit game yet, and that's a fact. Simply everything about DKC is kick-butt rocking magnificent ... you'd swear it was 32-bit. If you possess a SNES, you have no excuse not to buy this game NOW." |

| Lucas M. Thomas, IGN | 8,5 out of 10 | "A sacrifice may be offered of some of your nostalgic feelings for this title, as its revolutionary-in-1994 visuals aren't as spectacular any more, now in 2007. But DKC's gameplay is still a lot of fun, and it's still easy to see why this was the game that saved the Super." |

| Bob Mackey, Joystiq | 2 out of 5 | "Playing it safe may make short-term sense for Nintendo's bottom line, but the company should never forget that their most innovative and beloved classics often operated on risky and untested waters. Game & Wario, on the other hand, lazily floats in a half-full kiddie pool, trying its best not to make any waves." |
| Hedi Kemps, Gamespot | 5 out of 10 | "Overall, Game & Wario doesn't have the consistency or the creativity expected from the series. Seeing Wario's once-awesome microgame galleries turned into a bog-standard minigame-fest is disappointing in its own right, too. WarioWare farted in the face of conventional game design, and further installments made creative use of new control schemes without losing the pacing and craziness the original established. Game & Wario, in contrast, feels like the aged former punk rocker who has got an office job now but still wants to convince the kids that he's hip and with-it. There's still some spark of that rebellious Wario genius, but for the most part, the game seems to give up and settle for stable mediocrity." |
| Jonathan Holmes, Destructoid | 7,5 out of 10 | Game & Wario is the most "normal" game in the WarioWare series (assuming it's officially a part of the series) which is part of what makes it so weird. As a whole, it's all over the place, sometimes original, sometimes derivative, sometimes dry, sometimes funny, sometimes simple, sometimes complicated. It's clear that Nintendo just wasn't sure what to do with some of these games, so they threw them in the Game & Wario package whether they fit there or not." |

Summary
Game & Wario received mixed to negative reviews. Common complaints include the relatively low number of minigames, the uneven quality of them and the shift away from the microgame format. Also words words words.
