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.
IGN Ratings for Furu Furu Park (Wii)"
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."

Blake Morse of Gamer Revolution writes: In the Wii world mini-games seem to reign supreme. Whether getting in shape with Wii-fit or searching for treasure with Zack and Wiki. Furu Furu Park tries to carry on that fine tradition but, unfortunately, falls flat on it's face.
Furu Furu reminds me of a Japanese arcade - it's got bright colors and fun music. The sense of humor has some eastern flavor as well - and what's up with all the muscle men with neon afros? The problem is that the games just aren't as fun as the ones you would find in the arcade.
+ Great Colors
+ Funny Grading System
+ A few fun games
- Everything is too short
- Not enough variety
- Games have little, if any, replay value
- Target market? Japanese school girls.
- Seriously, what's with all the Afros?
