Aquanaut's Holiday, previously Aqua, confirmed as site opens

Last week we got word that Aquanaut's Holiday might get a remake for release this September, as it was briefly put up on a Japanese retail site and then removed. Seems that is wasn't a rumor after all. It's actually the game we once knew as Aqua -- a sea-exploration game where you collect data on the critters in the water. It's like Afrika, but wet. A brief video from when it was called Aqua is above and the official website has launched, so go ahead and check that out too.

Very cool--my daughter is going to love this! Great visuals, and though exploration-type games don't seem that appealing at first, if they do this right, it might be a very relaxing way to spend some time, hopefully without inducing boredom.

Will there be a 3D Steve Irwin riding sting rays ?

Gorgeous. A must buy for me.

As a diver it looks very realistic, with the possible exception of too many fish!

Too soon ?

I've been looking forward to this for a long time, ever since I saw that preview movie at the Tokyo Game Show. If it lives up to it's promise, it could be one of the best exploration games ever, though that is admittedly a big 'if'!

I wonder if this and afrika are planed to be 60$ games. The both look pretty, but sure I would pay full price for these type of "games". My girlfriend really like animal stuff though so might get afrika for her even if it is 60$.
