HUDSON ENTERTAINMENT BRINGS THE BEAUTY AND MYSTERY OF THE SEA TO WiiWARE WITH MY AQUARIUM
Hudson's New and Original Experience Delivers the Relaxation of an
Aquarium to Your Wii this year
REDWOOD CITY, CA - July 15, 2008 - Hudson Entertainment, the North
American publishing arm of Hudson Soft, today announced that it is
bringing My Aquarium to WiiWare on the Wii.
My Aquarium is an all-new, original IP for digital download on WiiWare.
In this pleasant and relaxing software experience, much like a real
aquarium, you can customize your fish tank with different backgrounds,
gravel styles, decorations, plant life, and of course, fish. A release
date for My Aquarium will be announced soon.
"While many games and downloads these days focus on wild, fast-paced
gameplay, My Aquarium offers a totally different, calming experience,"
said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson
Entertainment. "Watching the amazing things that can happen in the
underwater world is something the entire family can enjoy."
No room for a real aquarium? Don't have the time or money to maintain
a fish tank? Why not add a beautiful, maintenance-free aquatic
experience to your home with My Aquarium? Sit back, relax and interact
with the fish. If you have to go away for a while, don't worry; you
might even find a brand new fish when you come back! In My Aquarium,
Wii owners can choose the fish that will live in their aquarium and
what decorations they'll get to enjoy. You can choose the glass color,
lighting, background design, style of gravel, rocks, or plant life for
the world their fish will inhabit and can mix and match different fish
in up to 6 individual aquariums. You can even send aquariums to
friends using WiiConnect24T if they also have My Aquarium.
Some other features of My Aquarium include:
- A wide selection of colorful fish - Choose from 40 different types of
fish, from groupers to jellyfish. Both freshwater and saltwater fish
can cohabit just fine. If you want to feed your fish, you can choose
from a variety of food. You can even interact with your fish and keep
a watchful eye on your favorite. Learn more about your fish in the
Fish Database.
- Interacts with the Forecast Channel - Tank conditions change
depending on the weather in your area!
- Focused on Fun -You can simply relax and enjoy the fish. Don't worry
about water temperatures or other special knowledge needed for a real
aquarium. My Aquarium requires only your imagination.
