"Presenting the second first-person-shooter to hit WiiWare (the first being Hudson's very own raved about Onslaught)! Water Warfare is not only the second FPS, but also the very first family-friendly FPS downloadable digitial title for the Wii. Fast-paced and action-packed with no blood and gore, prepare to soak your friends and family in an all out water fight!

"Water Warfare is an FPS devoid of bullets and other bad stuff. Players will be able to run around playgrounds and beaches with their trusty watergun in hand, soaking any poor chap who crosses their path. Not only are there a bucket-full of items in Water Warfare such as squirt shotguns, rocket launchers, and more being fired at you, there are also ample defensive items to take on that barrage of mayhem. Protect yourself with towels, raincoats, and anything else you can find!"

Game Type: Simulation
Publisher: Hudson Entertainment

"An entire planet becomes your laboratory in this large-scale simulation game. Players help foster new life and promote its evolution into life-forms of higher intelligence. Guide civilization along the path of evolution until it can achieve Exodus, the ultimate goal of settling on another planet. The basic challenge of the game is to maintain a comfortable environment for the life-forms by adjusting atmospheric and geological parameters. Small organisms called Prokaryote and Trichordate will grow and evolve into a multitude of life-forms. Making a drastic change is a recipe for disaster. The key to success is to make small adjustments and watch how the life-forms react. SimEarth also includes planets with environments different from Earth, such as Mars and Venus. Try your hand at terraforming these planets with harsh conditions into a world where life can thrive."
