Every now and then, a game comes along that you know you shouldn’t like. The mere thought of purchasing the title makes you question your dedication to hardcore games. You try to hide your shame, but it is permanently stamped on your soul. It’s kind of like your own scarlet letter. However, unlike that book I was forced to read for school, you don’t get it for something cool like copulation.
Hit the jump to discover my newest shame.
Thus far, I have been fairly unimpressed by WiiWare. I plan on purchasing “Mega Man 9” (also coming to PSN and XBL) immediately upon release, but other than that, there seems to be nothing else deserving of my virtual currency. Can you really blame me when the service is home to games like “Pong Toss – Frat Party Games” and “Major League Eating: The Game”? I hope you said no, because that is the only acceptable answer.
Apparently, Hudson Entertainment feels my pain. Not content with pumping out another uninspired “Mario Party,” the studio wants to provide a triple-A blockbuster for WiiWare. Are we getting a remake of “An American Tail: Fievel Goes West“? Unfortunately, for those that still live in the 1990s, the answer is no.
Instead, Hudson has decided to bestow “My Aquarium” upon Wii owners. Please do not freak out. That wasn’t a brain aneurysm you just experienced. It was the feeling of extreme disappointment. Perhaps Hudson should have developed another “Mario Party.”
My initial thoughts were comparable to the previous comment. “My Aquarium,” a virtual fish tank, sounds like an incredibly stupid idea. It, in my opinion, isn’t even a game. It is like a customizable screensaver. I enjoy the opportunity to be creative, but deciding where to place plants and rocks is a rather dull way to express myself. A roster of 40 types of fish sounds decent enough, but it appears it will be comprised of wussy orange fish and wussy striped fish. That sounds awesome. When can I insert the barracuda to devour both of those scrubs?

Yay sarcastic gamer did another parody
if they didnt then nintendo are even thicker than I first thought
I suppose it’s a step up from one of those DVDs you can buy with a looping video of an aquarium or fire
Well, it interested you enough to write about it, but not pay for it.
That is the most idiodic game I have ever seen. It better not cost more than 75 cents.
What windows 3.1 screensaver will come to the wii next and will it have motion control – stay tuned.
Why do people blame Nintendo for this? It’s not THEIR game, it’s Hudson’s.
Anyway; there are a few awesome WiiWare games, such as that Dr Mario one I can’t remember the name of, Lostwinds and My Life as a King. There are a few more but either I’ve forgotten their names or I can’t be bothered to name them.
