The trailer at least gives the impression this will be much more light on story than previous games. That would be pretty disappointing - the gameplay in these games is typically nothing special so it’s the story that kept me playing.

Hasn’t that always been the case with the warioware series? The games are always a wild mix of off-the-wall mini games that often don’t stick the landing, but for people that enjoy the series that’s the exact charm of them. I would guess if you’ve already played and enjoyed a few games from the series you’ll feel much the same about this one. I’d just check reviews to make sure they haven’t wildly changed the format in a way you’re not interested in, but otherwise Nintendo has been pretty consistent on what to expect with this series.

Oh no, is our good good boy “30 under 30 luminary” Griffin McElroy safe??

If I still had my 64 I’d break out paper mario once a year.
