MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT SHIPS ZOO
HOSPITAL FOR Wii™
Majesco Entertainment Company, an
innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announced today that Zoo
Hospital for Wii™ has shipped to retail outlets nationwide. As the first
veterinarian game for Wii, Zoo Hospital lets animal lovers experience what it’s
like to treat and care for a myriad of exotic creatures including reptiles,
mammals and birds, at a struggling zoo slated for demolition.
The animals in Aunt Lucy’s zoo are
getting sick and causing zoo attendance to decline. Unless she can turn things
around, Aunt Lucy will lose her zoo to a local landowner who wants to build a
mini-golf course. To help save the zoo and its inhabitants, players will use the
Wii Remote to feed, treat and soothe 48 different animals from all over the
world – from gorillas to monitor lizards to dolphins – including seven not
featured in the companion DS game. Medical mini-games let players eliminate
parasites, extract rotten teeth, battle microscopic germs and much more.
Soothing and feeding each animal while following up on post surgical patients in
their enclosures is as important as precise operations, since happy, healthy
animals increase the Zoo Rating which in turn affects the number of visitors
patronizing the zoo. Zoo Hospital also enables up to 2 friends to treat animals
together in cooperative multi-player mode.
Developed by Torus Games, Zoo
Hospital is rated E for Everyone and is available now for Wii at the SRP of
$29.99.
