Don't tap the glass in Hudson's My Aquarium

by David Hinkle { Aug 12th 2008 at 8:20PM }

Because you'd probably be scratching your television.

As you can tell by the trailer above (and new screens below), Hudson's localized Blue Oasis (at E3 they announced it for North America under the name My Aquarium) doesn't require a rocket scientist to figure out. Hudson has gone ahead and basically crafted a virtual fish tank, allowing you to enjoy the serene company of aquatic life without having to clean a pump every month.

If you already checked out the tour of the Japanese game, then you know the title is chock full of content. And, if it's priced the same as its Japanese counterpart (500 Wii Points), we won't have to shell out a lot of clams for it. Get it? Hey, where are you going? Hello?

So I can turn my tv into a fish tank for 5 bucks.. Cool! Day one buy for me. : )

That actually looks pretty cool. Could definitely see having a little fun with that, and the fish look great.

Hmm... with such a lack of decent Wii games as of late, this does look tempting... but, knowing me, I'd download it and be bored in 5 minutes. Can't they make it so you can, y'know, aim and shoot the fish with the remote? Different fish have different AI, make it interesting? Come on, it wouldn't be that complex of a feature to add. :)
