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.[1] 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.[2]
Story
The planet, Earth, is now at risk after a horrible incident. In the NAZA Space Research Center, a group of men encounter a huge meteor that is striking Earth. Meanwhile, in the Executive Mansion, the president gets a call from NAZA, telling that the meteor is coming. He warns Kate to get to The Picnic Place and get the lunches as he tells her that he can't kick the bucket until he has a date with her. Back to the NAZA, they encounter some kind of alien behind the meteor, then the entire 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 super hero. Ann, Fran, and Stan tell mom that they want the toy. As they talk about the gadget, the grandpa, or Gramps, tells them that he's checking out the Geezer's comet. Tom and Maya join with him at the balcony with Gramps' telescope. What they saw is a huge meteor, they head to the living room as Gramps warn about the end of the world is coming. Dad and the other adults doubt as Gramps argues it's not a joke. Gramps tell Maya and Tom how to save Earth via getting temporary jobs and TV shopping.
After a meteor is destroyed, the family celebrates until a meteor with a realistic face appears. Gramps theorizes the meteor with a face will turn everyone too realistic. 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 as the members resort to praying for humanity to be saved.
From a meteor to a realistic face to a magical space girl and Space Codger/Dad, Gramps theorizes and commands his grandchildren to work for the sake of mankind. Tom and Maya work hard for a paycheck worth for the items of Points Channel. As days passes buy, they experience dangers, benefits, and challenges at the beginning of the day while the gigantic object goes closer to Earth.[3] If the number of days hit to zero, Gramps try to defeat the object, but accidentally destroys the Memorial Hall after defeat, making the family pay the destruction until it is rebuilt. After defeating objects falling to Earth and the Space Codger, Gramps and the big kids celebrate, but too early.
The Space Codger gets out the ultimate weapon from his underwear, the Monumental Thingy. Gramps warns Tom and Maya if that hits Earth, it'll eat Earth by changing the appearance, which everyone and all creatures will live in eternal suspicion with nobody to trust anyone else. He ends by telling all will be plunged into dismal times that's worse than annihilation. In addition to the worse, it's a final battle to save humanity. Meanwhile, at the wrecked NAZA - small shack and the members - site, they get back online and finds out the fragment that destroyed the center was from the Space Codger's weapon. Barry, who reveals his face with the others, strike with anger to the point of shaped like the Point Channel's Scary Mask product. Finding a way to stop the big one, they change to their TV channel outfits and resume their duty, revealing the TV Shopping Channel hosts are undercover NAZA members. After defeating the thing, it shatters and it gets worse as fragments began to fall to Earth, but a helicopter comes to their house with Barry. He informs the heroic family that they receive a fire extinguisher with a bonus pack lasting for 10 years. The family work together as they launch the fragments away from Earth with a huge blast. The planet is saved while Gramps gets blasted off.
After saving Gramps from the extinguisher Barry delivered, he tells the family that he went to the other side of Earth without injury or wounds. He then informs them that they're heading to space and blasts the family to the moon. Arriving at the moon, they plant their own flag and head back to Earth via second launch. During a second launcher, their house was destroyed when they landed back to their house's position. After they rebuilt their home, they spend their lives as regular citizens and have a happy life for now on.
Gameplay
Help Wanted is essentially a mini-game collection that utilizes the Wii's motion control capabilities.[4] Some games require the Nunchuk attachment while others do not. There are 50 mini-games in total, some of which the user begins with by default, and others that they must unlock in the Employment Office mode. For these to be unlocked, the user must purchase outfits pertaining to the minigame from the TV Shopping Channel.
Each minigame represents different, real-world and fictional jobs. Therefore these minigames are also referred to as jobs. Each job has three difficulties, Normal, Hard and Expert. Initially the user only has access to the Normal difficulty of a job, while the other difficulties must be unlocked via the Employment Office mode. To unlock other difficulties, the user must achieve different ranks from playing the jobs a sufficient amount. The ranks include Newbie, Pro, Expert and Master. By default, the user has the rank Newbie. But as they unlock further ranks, they will gain access to the difficulties Hard and Expert.
In the Career Fair mode, the user can choose to play any of the 50 jobs, and any difficulty of that job, as long as they have it unlocked (by default or via Employment Office). They can also select to play as characters exclusive to the Career Fair and Job Battle mode. In the Job Battle mode, two users can fight against each other in jobs.
