Ant Nation
Nintendo Wii · 2009
About this game
In Ant Nation , the player controls an ant hive and has to keep them save by expanding.
There is no story, but it is implied that the player takes the role of a scientist who experiments with the hive: all interactions with the ants takes place through tools, e.g. a pipette to quickly move them to one place to another, a magnifying glass to inspect the environment or a pointer to select a single ant.

The basic game structure is that the ants have to collect food and bring it to the hive in order to expand the population and grow stronger.
The food is purchased (and then dropped in the playing field) with gold which is earned by completing missions (solving tasks - usually killing invaders - within a time frame).
Outside the (finite) missions, gold can be found by searching the environment with the magnifying glass and food by killing invaders which sometime show up.
While sheer numbers play an important role, each ant also has statistics which influence the outcome.
These can be improved by squeezing them enough to come seriously hurt, but not enough to die.
Later in the game, more torturing tools (e.g. a Bunsen burner) are unlocked.
In addition to the main playing mode, there is a bonus game with 20 levels in which the player uses weapons (e.g. a hammer or rocket launcher) to kill as many ants as possible within a time limit.
About Nintendo Wii
Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.
Gamevaro tracks Ant Nation for Nintendo Wii 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 Ant Nation 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 WII release dates back to 2009.
