Videogame Review, 5 Arcade Gems for the Nintendo Wii (Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuck)

Videogame Review, 5 Arcade Gems for the Nintendo Wii (Wii Remote and Wii Nunchuck)

There’s a game in here called Jungle Pizza Delivery.  What’s it about?  Let me tell you- a pizza delivery guy is out in the jungle and he needs to deliver a pizza to someone’s home in the South American mountains.  And suddenly a group of angry natives start chasing the poor guy all over the mountains!  But that’s not all: he has to avoid flying vultures, running pigs, water logs, and other obstacles so he can make it to the customer’s house for his pizza delivery job in the jungle.  A fantasy like this… is vulgar.  While it’s a lot of fun getting the pizza delivery guy over logs and pigs there’s some connection with racism here; or, the attitude a racist has that he must do something extremely stupid (ex. pizza delivery) in order to be swept away from the running, enraged natives with stereotypical outfits and masks and spears and such.  But it IS very funny.  Other games in this 5-game collection include a knight’s round table, a child’s racing car toy, a galactic spaceship, and lumberjacks (or boobs) in the woods.  Gameplay gets really intense and I’m finding my limbs twisting and turning in front of the TV where all the fun and magic happens.  Visuals are top-top-notch also.  Our 4 knights are dressed in strong-looking armor with flashing, brilliant colors in red and blue and yellow and green.  The collection supports multiplayer but the 1st player mode will put someone in red unless another color is preferred via player menu screen- point, push, and pull.  My nunchuck is used as a motion controller in of itself for launching axes in the mountainscape’s air and having a knight’s jumps made on the grey, brick-to-brick tower.  Wii remotes can still be used in motion control for mallets, cursors, and co-nunchuck running with the pizza delivery guy.  Knights use mallets and axemen use cursors.  Visuals are rich, expanded, and mastered into nice presentation.  In fact I like the graphics on 5 Arcade Gems better than the graphics on Mario Party 5 for the Nintendo Gamecube.  Nintendo Wii consoles are still Gamecube-like.  People who are on a budget should try purchasing more games on less consoles and buy less consoles for games since a machine, or videogame console, can pile up to a lot of money.  5 Arcade Gems is a download from the online shopping channel.  This Wii game doesn’t have as much of an everlasting effect as… say… Gradius 2 for the TurboGrafx-16 console on the Nintendo Wii.  Even the pizza delivery game in the jungle or wilderness could only add so much time for your schedule and yet it serves as a great work of art which illustrates, in visually gross metaphors, the havoc raised by native tribes against innocent people.  I don’t know… that pizza delivery guy is suspicious.  What’s he doing in the jungle?  Who orders pizza in the wilderness, Tarzan?  Okay I think you’ve gotten the idea.  It’s pretty stupid, fun, and silly.  Were we to really dislike this Wii game for its insane cartoon worlds we might as well dismiss Duck Hunt on the NES, or Hot Wheels in the market, or Battleship with friends.

Note:  A picture is shown of the pizza delivery guys as they’re running away from the chaotic natives.  Isn’t that funny?  Running/jumping/dodging controls are perfect for Wii arcade times.
