I’ll be honest with you — the sight of another Wii minigames collection averagely sends me running in the other direction as fast as my feet can carry me. Sprinkle a dash of odd into it, however, and I suddenly find myself drawn to even the simplest titles. That is definitely the case with the recently announcedHelp Wantedfrom Hudson, which is a job simulation game which challenges you to try out fifty different types of jobs.
This would probably suck if the options included “trash boy at McDonald’s”, but with options like bodybuilder, yakitori chef and haunted house monster, this game looks like its going to be hilarious. Multiplayer is an option too, which allows players to take on versus mode with fifteen of the jobs available.
It’ll be weird, alright, but probably missing from the lineup: the eager, young boy who wields the mop at porn shoots. Some jobs are just too terrible to think about.
