There have been rumours before about a revival to the virtual pet videogame Seaman for some time now. The game, originally released on the SEGA Dreamcast, had you be the owner of a new 'Seaman' pet, a species which can quite easily be described as being a fish with a human's face. The face was actually that of Seaman's producer, Yoot Saito. A weird concept, but the game still managed to get substantial recognition and it became the third best-selling Dreamcast game of the region. A sequel was also released for the Playstation 2. Non-surprisingly, the game has popped up on many 'Weirdest Games Ever' lists, but has remained un-touched since the commercial failure of the sequel.
I haven't seen much demand, but Nintendo may be aiding Saito in bringing back this series, which I know will have many throwing up their arms and celebrating. The two trademarks which the gaming giant has registered in Japan are:

So, weird? Anyone at all interested in the concept of owning a pet which is a fish with a human face? Is this something you've been waiting for, and the game the Wii U needs to get itself off the ground? Not bothered? Drop a comment!
