Adventure Island: The Beginning (Wii) Playthrough

- A playthrough of Hudson Soft's 2009 platformer for the Nintendo Wii, Adventure Island: The Beginning.
In the years leading up to Konami's corporate takeover, Hudson Soft had focused a lot of their effort on giving 3D facelifts to popular franchises that the company had established back in the 1980s. When they weren't producing Mario Party games, they were updating classics like Bonk, Lode Runner, Star Soldier, and Adventure Island.
Like the Adventure Island game that appeared on the Gamecube and PS2 ( • Adventure Island (Game... ), the Wiiware-exclusive Adventure Island: New Beginnings (not to be confused with New Adventure Island on the TurboGrafx-16) wasn't a remake. New Beginnings is a new installment that appropriates elements in equal parts from both Adventure Island ( • Hudson’s Adventure Isl... ) and New Adventure Island ( • New Adventure Island (... ) while also adding in a few new additions of its own.
Tina has been kidnapped yet again, and Master Higgins, everyone's favorite overweight islander action hero, has to save her. The game play will instantly feel familiar to anyone that has played an Adventure Island game from the 8 or 16-bit era. You run through each stage avoiding things like frogs, foxes, snakes, and leaping octopuses, trying to reach the goal ahead of the timer.
The game features a hub world that connects each of the stages, as well an all-new store that allows Higgins to trade golden melons for improved weapons and platforming abilities. He can now learn to float, double jump, and hang from ledges, and he'll have to use all of these abilities in order to collect the 92 melons strewn throughout the action stages. The final eight melons are given as prizes in the motion-controlled mini-games.
The new graphics are nicely done. They're not as lavishly detailed as the previous game's, but they're less muddy and better defined, resulting in a game that's far easier to play. The music is good too, though I did find myself missing some of the more classic themes from the series.
The changes do a fine job of updating the core Adventure Island mechanics, though they do make the game substantially easier than the earlier titles in the series. With only twenty main stages, it's a much shorter game than you might expect, and all of the padding (the item collecting, feats, and especially the minigames) hurts the package more than it helps.
But overall, taking into account that this sold for $9 at release and was bound by the WiiWare service's limit of forty megabytes, it's a good effort. It's another fun retro throwback that will likely appeal to longtime fans. It never quite lives up to the legacy that it's derived from, but I thoroughly enjoyed it when it came out, and it's still an entertaining diversion all these years later.
No cheats were used in the recording of the main game. I did, however, use autofire to hit the 16 shots per second feat in the Rapid Fire Ruins minigame.

Adventure Island: The Beginning is by no means a return to the series' glory days, but for a $9 Wiiware game, it's not bad.
i though the beginning was on nes lol
"Press the 2 button" Ah, those were the good ol' days.
I hope we're not skipping Super Adventure Island II, that's my favorite in the series.
I think he already did that one years ago if I’m not mistaken
EDIT: Ok nevermind no he didn’t 😂
That one sucks
@@SigmaChicken09 In my opinion it's one of the best lol
Was waiting for this. I've had this game sitting unplayed for about 13 years now. Knowing its only a couple hours long and won't be a significant time investment is a godsend. Thank you.
ACK!!!
I actually missed my chance to download this back when it was available!!
The Skateboard Survival minigame looks like the closest thing we received as a 3D Adventure Island!! I would Imagine An Auto-Runner game in the style of Pepsiman might be fitting for an 3D Adventure Island!!
Also the OST is quite good!! 🙂
Holy crap! How many adventure island games are there?? 😮 good playthrough 😊 And let me add that, just like bloody roar. This game needs a remake since both are made by Hudson soft.
This is definitely not adventure island gameplay wise. Too slow.
But indeed. For such a price, something to launch in the evening after work, when you have around 40 minutes before sleep - it's pretty good.
And of course, good walkthrough as usual. Thanks for the upload.
@@Vetusomaru Definitely closer to the 3 of the classic games, no doubts. But I mentioned it's just too slow, closer to classic platformer but incredibly slow.
01:00:23 Thwomps!!
So is this like a prequel game to the whole series or the name is just misleading?
I remember getting this game, getting far and the map didn't allow me to progress. I don't know if it was a glitch or a bug so I gave up on it. I may try it again at some point. I can't redownload games from the wii shop channel I bought so I got the entire wiiware collection from other sources. Now.. I know this ain't great but not bad for a $9. I played worse at that price point.
Huh, This kind of looks like the remake of Klonoa that was also released on Wii
Adventure island need Zelda Ocarina of time like treatment like explore island complete dungeon and fight bosses on every island that would be cool concept, also weapon crafting and items from adventure island 4
Is it even possible to play WiiWare? Probably not--someone has to curate the digital releases somewhere. If this is worth playing, then there needs to be a way that people can legitimately procure it.
Elither mod your Wii or emulate it on Dolphin
looks absolutely dreadful 😂
I’ve played it. It’s not a bad game, but nowhere near as good as the older Adventure Island games. It’s decent at best
🔥🔥🔥💪🎮❤
Is anyone got any idea about a game where a whte ninja robot kimd of guy does the campaign mode nes game ?? I don’t remember the name as ot was in 1998~1999.
None of these remakes look good. Not GC, not Wii, not Wonder Boy Returns, or Returns Remix...
Guess I'm sticking with the NES version
