Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced the release of Furu Furu Park for the Wii home videogame console. Developed by Taito, Furu Furu Park integrates old-school arcade fun with quirky new Japanese-style challenges into 30 fun mini-games.
Included among Furu Furu Park's 30 different mini-games are:
* Arkanoid: an arcade classic pitting paddle and ball against a wall of blocks
* Pinch Hitter: step up to the plate and take a few swings with the Wii Remote
* Bubble Bobble: hold the Wii Remote like an NES controller to burst all of the bubbles in this retro arcade puzzler
* Safe Cracker: memorize the combination then enter the code by tilting your Wii Remote left and right to crack the safe
* Sonic Blastman 20XX: clutch your Wii Remote and punch at the screen to destroy asteroids heading for earth
* Super Karate: execute offensive and defensive maneuvers with your Wii Remote to defeat your opponent
The Laser writes: "Taking players on a short-burst tour of Taito's arcade history, Furu Furu Park on the Wii brings 30 hyper-kinetic mini-games to the table. It's simple to understand controls and fast pace is similar to WarioWare, though with a number of classic arcade games like Bubble Bobble, Arkanoid and classic shooting style fun, in addition to some humorous sports, puzzle and strange themed games. The controls are quite simple and spelled out between each game, making this a perfect party game. Look inside and discover if there's enough depth for extended play, or whether Furu Furu Park's sugar high wears off too quickly."

Craig Harris writes for IGN:
"The original Nintendo DS game was a terrible collection of mini-games, and the Wii version continues that tradition. Even if you make the excuse that this game's a budget title, you really can't justify the crumminess of the 30 different games in this pack.
