Help Wanted: 50 Wacky Jobs! is a Wii simulation game developed by Hudson Soft and released in 2008, built around a collection of 50 distinct job-themed minigames. Designed with families in mind, the game takes a lighthearted, slapstick approach, tasking players with completing a variety of silly occupational challenges. Earnings accumulated through these daily work activities can be spent shopping for defensive items, with the broader goal of preventing some form of impending extinction. Collectible keepsakes obtained along the way can be displayed as part of an in-game collection. The game positions itself as the first compilation of its kind centered on job-based gameplay, using the Wii's motion controls to bring each wacky workplace scenario to life.
