Butterfly Garden

Butterfly Garden (WiiWare)

Butterfly Garden is a computer simulation by independent developer Autonomous Productions, revolving around the raising and collecting of butterflies. Initially for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, the developers decided to port the game to WiiWare also.

The game revolves around breeding different butterflies via genetic selection, and promises a robust online component, allowing users via their online service to visit other gardens and share rare genes.

Seems... pretty enough. The game actually looks good... I might get this!

This game looks like it could become either something special or something boring. Can't wait to see more of it in the near future.

I'm all about the online components... and I'm a nurseryman! Whaddayaknow! No idea what their demographic is but, I doubt I'm gonna get this... looks great from the screens though.

I love games like this. I thought Endless Ocean was my big surprise for the year, but then comes along a game like this... Open ended, breeding-alife simulation, chillout game? FRSRS?!?!

I wonder though, is this video the Wiiware version or the XBLA version?

I don't know if I'll be downloading this because I already have Endless Ocean, but I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't download it otherwise. :) It looks really good.

I dunno... those visuals look pretty impressive. Aren't those Xbox 360 graphics? I mean, the clip is on an XBOX Community site...

Considering that it's even a WiiWare title, and with our storage problems, maybe we'll be gimped on the Wii. fudge.

Looks similar to Endless Ocean's gameplay with butterflies instead of divers.

seems alright i might get it depending on what the entertainment value is after the first hour and on the size

I was thinking the same thing as Tony, seems kind of like a similar experience to Endless Ocean. But this one sounds like you would actually have to do something more. They mention predators in the interview, which may mean you actually have to protect the butterflies. It sounds interesting enough.

Sounds very very interesting and I'm definetly considering buying this one whenever it comes out! There's a game that really reminds me of this title, but I can't remember it...whatever.

Though I do agree with you Stevii's Father, I really hope we don't get ripped off or anything.

As long as you can listen to your own music while playing the game i might get im still not sure yet!

19. The shoemaker Canada 01 Jun 2008, 06:17 GMT

I don't really care about changing the music, I think I remember it being fine. It's the gameplay fact that i care about. And I think this game will not dissipoint.

This game looks good, not sure if ill get it though. I think its funny how people say "i will get this" and then it ends up at the bottom of the list because people still buying the crappy games. Ah well, not our fault, Nintendo's casual gamers matter more i guess :D hehe

Judging from a video I saw, this actually sounds pretty good. Unfortunately, I doubt it will be this good come release, because that video was from when it was going to be an XBLA game, and I doubt they could fit all that in 43 mb.
