Bonsai Barber stands out as one of the better WiiWare titles available to buy, but it isn't an absolute must-have. Cute visuals and a quirky style accompany this entertaining if somewhat shallow game.
"Bonsai Barber was released for the Wii's WiiWare service on March 30, 2009 in North America, at a price point of 1,000 Wii Points, which is $10. The game was developed by Zoonami and published by Nintendo, and received and ESRB rating of "Everyone" with "Comic Mischief" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
Do the reported hours for the game show it to be "a cut above the rest" of other WiiWare games? How many hours can you expect to get from Bonsai Barber if you have never played it? Brew yourself a fresh pot of coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
Club Nintendo members can receive a new downloadable reward with their points.
For years, video games served as an escape in the most extreme sense. Players left their boring lives to become fighter pilots, barbarians and a certain mustachioed plumber. They didn’t want to work in a warehouse, cook or wait tables.
Then, publishers began releasing games based on real jobs. In Shenmue for Dreamcast, people took a break from pummeling thugs to operate a forklift. Later, they ran a bakery in Cake Mania and served up all sorts of dishes in Cooking Mama. All of a sudden, it was cool to have a second job, albeit a virtual one.
On that note, the following downloadable games let you experience another profession without having to go on interviews or pass a drug test. And we left out sports games featuring professional athletes because that would be too easy.
