VC Friday: Something fishy

by Chris Greenhough { Aug 15th 2008 at 8:58AM }

Arguably more a relaxation tool than a game, Hudson's My Aquarium makes its western debut in the latest PAL update today. Its price, just 500 Wii Points, reflects its status as the Endless Ocean of WiiWare; it's definitely a good deal cheaper than the real thing. The in-jokey Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner completes the line-up, while the Virtual Console is put on the backburner for another week.

My Aquarium -- WiiWare -- 500 Wii Points
Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points

Spread your fins and swim past the break for video of each.

I am liking they're doing the wii ware channels but all I am really waiting for is Shining force 2. :(

The Aquarium is more of a screensaver than even My Pokémon Ranch was.

I'm curious to see if Strong Bad sells as well in Europe as it apparently has so far in America. Here's hoping.

so, do you think we are going to get this in N.A. on monday? And also, what would be better - My pokemon ranch or this? I dont have a ds

Umm... hmmm...
Depends, do you prefer fishes or cute things that run around?
Pokemon Ranch has cute things react to each other and the "toys" you get everyday. They also react to your Miis.

It's cute, calming, and slightly entertaining... but the best part of it is seeing YOUR Pokemon run around - there's something endearing about it.

But if you want a basic screensaver, basic-interacting, also as calming and slightly entertaining... this would be better for ya'.

In my honest opinion, this game looks like that Aquarium-channel we had back in Manila. ...I used to watch that thing all the time! :P

What definitely would make me get it is: SD-mp3 uploading! :D
I could play classic music to it... or to make it totally inappropriate: Heavy metal.
