About this game
World of Zoo simulates a zoo experience where the player can safely interact with animals using a first-person view.
There are eleven major families of animals, and a small editor that allows the player to mix and match parts to create real or imagined species of animals.

The goal of the game is to make the animals happy through constant direct interaction.
There is a large list of achievements ranging from cleaning up poo to building something new.
The achievements unlock additional content in the game, providing the player with more options such as new animal parts, and new pre-made animals.
The experience is cosmetically different between the Wii and PC versions.
The PC version is split into two UPCs, each containing half of the animals that are present in the Wii game.
Functionally, the Wii and PC game are different as the Wii game utilizes the Wii Remote, and the PC uses a mouse.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks World of Zoo for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding World of Zoo to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.

Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
