- you like tracking a shared happiness meter as progress

How to Decide
Arctic Tale is a single‑player, Wii‑controlled adventure that teaches kids and families about Arctic wildlife through National Geographic narration. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Endless Ocean leans into cooperative and split‑screen multiplayer for shared underwater exploration; SimAnimals emphasizes four‑player split‑screen gameplay and a happiness‑meter progression system that rewards caring for a wide variety of forest animals.
When comparing these titles, focus on (1) the required hardware and platform – Arctic Tale and SimAnimals both need a Wii, while Endless Ocean runs on other Nintendo consoles; (2) the multiplayer experience – Endless Ocean offers co‑op and split‑screen, SimAnimals provides four‑player split‑screen, and Arctic Tale is single‑player only; (3) how education is delivered – Arctic Tale and Endless Ocean use factual pop‑ups and narration, whereas SimAnimals ties learning to a happiness‑meter and animal‑care quests; and (4) progression mechanics – SimAnimals uses a measurable happiness meter to unlock habitats, Endless Ocean relies on cataloging species, while Arctic Tale’s length is fixed with twelve episodes per creature.
