Help Wanted

Help Wanted (Hataraku Hito: Hard Working People in Japan, Job Island: Hard Working People in Europe) is a game that features a collection of various, Wii Remote-based minigames. The game offers a story mode (Employment Office), quick play mode (Career Fair), and multiplayer mode (Job Battle). However, only 15 of the 50 jobs can be played in multiplayer mode. The game is developed and published by Hudson Soft and was released in Japan for Nintendo's Wii on November 27, 2008, in Europe on March 13, 2009, in Australia on March 27, 2009, and in North America on May 12, 2009. The game's artwork and presentation as a multi-game compilation is reminiscent of the Deca Sports video game series also developed by Hudson Soft, and its European title implies that the game is ostensibly a spin-off of such series, which is titled Sports Island there. Story The planet, Earth, is now at risk after a horrible incident. In the NAZA Space Research Center, a group of men encounters a huge meteor that is striking Earth. Meanwhile, in the Executive Mansion, the president gets a call from NAZA, telling them that the meteor is coming. Inspecting the meteor, they both see an alien behind the meteor and survive when the NAZA S.R.C gets destroyed by the piece of the meteor; however, all four of the men survived without injury under a cost of hope. Meanwhile, there lived a happy family. The big siblings/protagonists (Tom and Maya), the grandparents, the parents, the three little kids - Ann, Fran, and Stan -, and their dog are watching the TV Shopping Network. As they turn on the TV with a remote, Barry appears and advertises the Transformowatch - an expensive gadget that turns anyone into a gigantic superhero. Ann, Fran, and Stan tell mom that they want the toy. As they talk about the gadget, Gramps tells them that he's checking out the Geezer's comet. Tom and Maya join him on the balcony with Gramps' telescope. Seeing the meteor, Gramps warns about the end of the world is coming; everyone but the big siblings doubt. Gramps tells Maya and Tom to get temporary jobs and shop for the sake of humanity. After a meteor is destroyed, the family celebrates until a meteor with a realistic face appears. Meanwhile, members of NAZA saw the meteor exploding, giving the members a ray of hope. According to their observations, more planet-sized objects are heading towards the planet.
