15th August 2008 – Get ready for a pair of WiiWare treats this week as Strong Bad Episode 1 Homestar Ruiner and My Aquarium come to Wii!
Charming. Suave. Awesome. These are the words Strong Bad would use to describe himself. In a world gone mad, only one man can be trusted to save the day. A man with an attitude. A man called Strong Bad.
As the star of the Homestar Ruiner web cartoons, Strong Bad has been answering emails (in boxing gloves), pranking his friends, pummeling his enemies, and making people with questionable taste snort milk out of their noses for years now. And he's branched out to star in Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, a 5-episode series.
In Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner, when Strong Bad's plans to beat the snot out of Homestar backfire, he ends up with an unwanted houseguest cramping his style. Now he needs to get life back to normal, by any means possible. But wait, there's more! Teen Girl Squad comics! Achievements! Funny costumes! Arcade games! You can even send pictures and emails to Wii friends using Strong Bad's computer! So how about it? Can you handle Strong Bad's style?
Strong Bad Episode 1 Homestar Ruiner is available to download now for 1000 Wii Points.
Next up this week, something a little more calming. Swaying aquatic plants…Fish idly swimming about… My Aquarium is a relaxing, Wii software experience that allows you to enjoy a virtual aquarium in your spare time. Regardless of fresh or saltwater, you can select from over 40 popular types of fish; including favourites like the Ocellaris Clownfish, the Freshwater Angelfish, and the Asian Arowana. You can also create up to six different aquariums and personalize them by adding decorations like seaweed and driftwood.
In My Aquarium, you can send aquariums to your registered friends. The aquariums can even be set with special dates, such as a friend's birthday, when the fish will commemorate it with a dance. Feed your fish, and watch them steadily grow from fry to adult. Then, after meeting certain conditions, you can breed them! Another fun feature will allow you to interact with your fish using your Wii Remote, such as "tapping" the glass of your aquarium!
Download My Aquarium now for 500 Points.
