Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH shows capitalism gone mad in Hudson Soft’s latest party classic!
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced Job Island – a stunning collection of mini-games set within an umbrella theme, which has been created by Hudson Soft and will be released for Wii in March 2009.
Job Island was formerly known as Hard Working People, but has been renamed following the huge success of Hudson Soft’s similarly-themed Sports Island, which also used the concept of fun-orientated mini-games to such good effect.
Plenty of “Wii would like to play” commercials have been released, but this might take the cake for the most boring Wii promotion of recent memory. Although, I’m pretty sure the casual crowd will enjoy watching it!

San Francisco, Calif. – November 11, 2008 – Mastiff, a worldwide publisher of videogames and Renegade Kid, developer of innovative interactive software, today announced that the highly anticipated first-person shooter Moon scheduled to release for the Nintendo DS™ on November 18, 2008, will now be releasing on January 13, 2009.
Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is a sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS™. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058. Researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base, but it’s a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch.
“With each passing day I see Moon grow into a darker, more heart pounding beast,” said Bill Swartz, Head Woof of Mastiff. “Gamers are in for an intense experience unlike anything they’ve ever experienced on the DS.”
