WTF?! Baito Hell 2000 renamed for US

For those individuals who think sailors don't live up to their reputation enough, "WTF" is about as common in their vocabulary as "the". Our less profane readers, however, will find that WTF is finally about as easy to pronounce as "Golly shucks, Grandma! Can I have another piece of apple pie? I love them ever so much!" The mini-game centric title Baito Hell 2000, a game that had originally gotten some flak for looking like a knock-off of WarioWare but evolved into something far more demented, will get a name change when it hits the US this year. Now called Work Time Fun, IGN's preview reveals that the game will feature, in addition to the core set of mini-games, a collection of "tools" (ramen timer, anyone?), more than 40 additional unlockable mini-games, and ad-hoc multiplayer.

The challenge we forsee will be in how the game will be localized to make it palatable to non-Japanese gamers. Then again, it's not like we really care so long as we have a blast, right?

Baito Hell 2000 reviewed

Hell as gone and puked all over the PSP, so suggests this review of the currently Japan-only Baito Hell 2000, which may or may not be a bad thing depending on what your sense of humor is like. The game, which was thought of as conceptually similar to Nintendo's Wario Ware Inc. line of games back when it was first revealed, brandishes a darker streak than its more tongue-in-cheek rival, but it also perhaps sacrifices a bit of enjoyability due to its cynicism. Baito Hell 2000 apparently takes the idea of doing tedious part-time work and tries to make a game out of it, which doesn't always work out. The lack of English translations unfortunately don't make this very import-friendly either.

There's still some room for the possibility that a more localized version for US or Europe may come into being, but as for the game in its current state, Wario can rest assured that his position on top of the manic mini-games heap still remains unchallenged.
