My Aquarium, known in Japan as Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., is a virtual pet video game by Hudson Soft for WiiWare and PlayStation Network. It was released in Japan on June 24, 2008, in the PAL region on August 15, 2008 and in North America on September 1, 2008 for the WiiWare;[1] and in September 2010 for the PlayStation Network.
Overview
The game is a virtual aquarium that sees players caring for fish in up to six aquariums of their own design. The player can choose from 49 species of fish (most of which must be unlocked as only 13 are available at the beginning) to populate an aquarium that can be customized with a choice of decorations, backgrounds, lighting and plant life.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The game also would utilize data from the Forecast Channel, changing lighting and conditions based on the weather. However, there is no emphasis on realism; for example salt water and fresh water fish can be placed together and water temperature is not taken into consideration.[2] While no cheats are available for the game itself, it has been noted that the game runs off of the various aspects of the Wii system and with that in mind, the date from the system settings can be changed repeatedly to unlock new or hidden items.
Players could also send their own aquariums to other players with the game through WiiConnect24.[2]
