Game summary

Watch an aquarium of fish on your television, swim with them using a Mii character or read the fish encyclopedia! Turn your television into a living virtual aquarium with AquaSpace. You can simply relax by watching the fish or take the opportunity to read detailed information about them, such as scientific name and habitat, using the illustrated encyclopedia. If you want to get up close and personal with the fish, you can even dive in with a Mii character to swim with them, feed them, or hunt for trivia icons to discover fish-related facts! Choose from eight aquarium themes and then spruce them up with around 40 different fish and a variety of decorations, wallpaper, and plant life. In addition, you can change the background music by taking your pick from a selection of songs or using the sound of water. Then once everything is set up, you can view your aquarium from a variety of camera angles (including a fish’s eye view) to get a good look at and appreciate the fish. Also make sure to visit every day and see your aquarium change—your fish will grow and new fish may be born. Life continues in your aquariums even while the Wii console is turned off!

Play AquaSpace on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play AquaSpace on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

AquaSpace installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install AquaSpace like you would on any PC.
