This December Nintendo DS owners will be able to expand their virtual pet options with the release of Aquarium by DS and Fantasy Aquarium by DS.
The games promise to be just like real life, requiring players to feed the fish and clean the tanks in order to keep the fish healthy. Aquarium by DS will allow player to keep the usual types of fish such as Clown Fish, Angelfish, Neon Tetra and Guppy, while the Fantasy edition will offer the likes of Blue Whales, Dolphins, Seals and Sharks.
Each game will feature more than 30 types of fish (also some mammals), with more unlockable through good fish care. The player will also be able to name their pets and even have the ability to share and swap fish over Wi-Fi.
Five tanks of differing sizes will be on offer, each customisable with backgrounds, plants and accessories such as rocks and bridges.
If players neglect their fish, not switching on the DS for a few days or simply putting the fish in the wrong environment, then the fish will die and disappear from the tank. Players must also be careful to ensure they choose good combinations of fish in each tank – putting a killer whale in the same tank as a penguin will result in a well fed killer whale and a dead penguin.
Aquarium by DS and Fantasy Aquarium by DS are scheduled for release in December, 2007.
