Majesco ships Zoo Hospital
EDISON, N.J., September 16, in the year of our Lord 2008
- Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), 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.
