Review

Looks like a simple fishtank simulator. I hope there is alot to do.

Complete Relaxation...

I dont think i will be getting this one. I already have Endless Ocean which this seems to be a simplified version of.

It would be great if you could import smaller fish from Endless Ocean to this game. Not the blue whale of course:)

I look at these screens and, for some reason, I have Hayley Westenra's music in my head.

So long as I have Endless, I don't know if I'm getting this one.

Yo Tony, that would be a very cool feature . Take a sim dive to catch some sim fish to put in your sim aquarium. I love that idea, really. Maybe there will be some boating game as well, to take you on your sim boat to your sim diving site.
Why didn't the devs think of that? Shame...

That aquarium thing here would probably be a very cool feature as background illumination for some cool parties in your living room. 500pts sounds tempting to me...

Oh, another thought here: isn't there a "Find Nemo"-Game out there somewhere where this would fit in neatly?

Mmmmh, it doesnt looks too interesting. But it only cost 5€/$. Maybe....

It looks like Fish Tycoon

Thomas: Indeed. Endless is probably more interesting/contains more depth.

This released in Japan today from what I know so we may be getting this soon whether you all like it or not!! XD

But for 500, oyou can't go wrong, can you? Time will tell. I'm not getting this but maybe my friend will consider this since he has an aquarium of his own and he loves tending to it.

Obviously I haven't played the game, but to compare this to Endless Ocean would be like comparing Shadow the Hedgehog to Metroid Prime just because both involve guns. And to continue the analogy, I'm also certain that Blue Oasis will have the quality of Shadow the Hedgehog next to Endless Ocean's "Metroid Prime-like" quality.

Yeah, the comparison sucks, but hey, stupidity doesn't stop an Endless Ocean fan.

This might be nice to just have running in the background as an alternative to buying a real fish tank. Not sure how real it will look, but from the screen shots it looks to be pretty good.

another ENDLESS OCEAN... um...yay?

We need Insanaquarium for Wii Ware.

i would consider endless ocean than this

Ill prolly get this game since i played Aquarium for the DS version as well... but yeah, i think Endless Ocean is more cooler to play than this, love the music too... but ill still get this game when its out and hopefully soon.. looks kinda cool.

since I didn't feel paying $50 for endless ocean, this seems like a good buy at 5 bucks

Sounds like some of those old Windows 95 screen-savers, don't it? Well, I for one have game cartridges and VCR tapes lying around from 1985, so why not reinvent something that has already been done over a decade (or two) ago?

Didn't this used to be Blue Oasis? I'm not too interested, I've had fish before, and that was enough for me. I don't need to have one in a video game, where really all you do is stare at it...

You know, when I heard about WiiWare, I was hoping it would have more items of the "game" persuasion, implying fun and enjoyment. Fish-tanks will always be boring, virtual or not!

"since I didn't feel paying $50 for endless ocean, this seems like a good buy at 5 bucks"

Isn't Endless Ocean a budget title? I got it in a 2 for £30 offer with another budget title, Wii Chess, both Brand new.

@Terranigma Yeah, Endless Ocean is a Budget game if we were to compare it to a wiiware game it would cost the same FFCC:mlaak without any DLC (1500 points) so surely that is what $15... a lot less than the $50 that Breeder mentioned earlier.

Infact im sure GAME sell it for £10 which is the equivilant of 1300 points and that is for a retail game with a pretty decent 2 player online mode compared to what this Virtual fishtank would cost - anywhere between 500 and 1000 points.

Looks good. It'll brighten up my HDTV at parties!

Well, is this is your cup of tea... enjoy.
I have endless ocean already (it wasnt all that endless) and the fish tank sim sucked. I think I'll pass.....

I wanted Endless Ocean but was put off by the (apparantly long) loading times.
And where can you find it cheap anyway? Best I've seen is £17.99 and my local game sells it for £20

For now though, this will keep me more than happy for £3.50.

The loading times for enless ocean are really laid back and relaxing. And yes you can find Endless Ocean around $20-30. Its a good exploration style game.
