Well I’m not sure what the “Moe” means but “Waifu” is what you hook your internet up to, right?  Nah, I’m just joking.  I know it means like a pretend girlfriend or something.  Anyway, in this game you can unlock pictures of fantasy anime ladies in different outfits by playing a memory game.  They’ll play a pattern and you must memorize and repeat it.  So yeah, it’s pretty much Simon.  It’s available on current PlayStation and Nintendo consoles but reviewed on PS4 here.

On each level you are shown pictures of fantasy objects like swords and crowns and such, and they’ll highlight one with a sound and after two or more play, you must repeat the pattern.  They’ll show you what buttons go with each icon, either the face buttons or shoulder buttons.  The problem is they don’t really highlight the icons very well, so it’s very hard to see and memorize, especially in the harder rounds.  This also applies to the menus, they don’t highlight your selections well so it’s hard to see what you pick. If you win three rounds, you can move to the next level.  If you lose, you’ll have to start that part over again and again but I couldn’t figure out how to exit from that and give up, so I had to restart the whole game.  You can also view the characters you’ve unlocked in a gallery or read how to play.  This type of game is usually found as a mini-game or challenge in a much bigger game, and you’re better off just getting a Simon keychain instead of this.

Kid Factor:

Moe Waifu H Genius is rated T for Teen with an ESRB descriptor of Suggestive Themes.  The anime characters can have skimpy outfits but that’s it.  Reading skill is helpful for the text but not necessary just to play.
