Now the fun comes full circle: The first part of the most popular animal hospital simulation sets off to the autumn season with new editions for Nintendo DS and Wii. Accompanied by this darling of the public and winner of the TOMMI-Award it’s possible now to foster & heal on the go or to get closer to the animals via Wii Remote at home.
And the winner is … When „My Animal Centre“ was stacked onto the shelves in 2006, no one could anticipate the tremendous success of the animal simulation and its exotic follow-ups. Winning the TOMMI-Award for children’s software and the Comenius Award already in the year of publication was just the beginning of a success story. In 2007 the second chapter of the top product series was awarded: „My Animal Centre in Africa“ received the coveted „GIGA-Maus“ for the best console game and ranked second at the TOMMI-Award for children’s software. Last but not least a few days ago Braingame was honoured with the „GIGA-Maus“ of the children’s jury for the down under version of its classic. Positive proof that both professionals and interested kids agree on the fact that Braingame’s original is way ahead of its fellow products. „My Animal Centre“ does not only convince through its distinctive look & feel and ever new and changing cuddly quadrupeds but first and foremost with a genuine plus of knowledge and seriousness. It is not without reason that the comprehensive knowledge section is repeatedly accoladed both by pedagogues and little fans. Finally the bestseller and showcase item for sophisticated edutainment is also available for Nintendo DS and Wii platforms.
“Citing the current tough economic landscape, Brash Entertainment has confirmed the company has instituted a strategic cost reduction plan that will see the elimination of over 20 positions across …
