San Mateo, Calif. – Nov. 30, 2009 – The creatures of the animal kingdom are ready to be cared for as My Zoo, the follow up to the WiiWare™ hit My Aquarium, launches on WiiWare today. My Zoo gives players the ability to raise and play with the cutest, cuddliest lions, elephants, giraffes and other animals in the comfort of their own homes. Published by Hudson Entertainment, the North and South American subsidiary of HUDSON SOFT, My Zoo can now be downloaded on WiiWare for 500 Wii Points™. My Zoo is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

“My Zoo is a fun interactive experience for gamers of all ages,” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Digital Download at Hudson Entertainment. “Families can bond over raising a virtual animal family together. With eight types of animals already available and more on the way, My Zoo provides endless opportunities to learn and grow with the animals you’re caring for.”

In My Zoo, players can choose from eight different zoo animals, including lions, panda bears and giraffes. Kids and families can raise these animals together.
