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.

SO ****EN pointless.
I know this for casual gamers, but casual gamers are not mentally retarded 5 year olds that are easily entertained by digital fish.
Why did they even make this game ?
horrible.
Also, maintaining a fish tank is EXTREMELY expensive and very hard. This looks to replicate the experience quite nicely at 5 bucks.
Dewey's Adventure, Wiitard Music, and now this-a definite pattern. The only thing that could top it would be Mario and Sonic: Special Olympics
If you don't want it, don't buy it. Jesus christ.

OMG that's some of the funniest shiz I've read in a while. It's so true though.
What bothers me about this is that it's something you can get online for free. In fact, I'm looking at an ad banner right below this post that reads, "Get Free 3D Aquarium Screensavers". I know that Nintendo puts no restrictions on what comes out on their systems (beyond Adult content, of course), but they really need to start balancing out "traditional" vs. "casual". There's a definite stigma developing around their system, and it's not something that the announcement of a single Resident Evil title is going to solve.
It's pretty sad when even the people on these forums, who certainly aren't casual Nintendo gamers by any stretch of the imagination, are like, "WTF Nintendo?"
If you don't want it, don't buy it. Jesus christ.
Believe me, I won't.

I'll 1up you sir and if anyone tells me they bought the game i will kick them in the balls and if they don't have balls i'll spit in her face.
If they came out with a virtual ant farm I might buy it... I've always wanted an ant farm...
