Endless Ocean ($29) (formerly known as Forever Blue) is a game that has crept under the radar. This Nintendo published "scuba simulation" budget game comes out January 21st here in the USA, and has already been available in Europe and Japan for a while. Reviews look promising. I just have heard little to nothing about it here.
Basically its like a combination of Nintendogs and Electroplankton. You can find and collect fish, take photos, and even dive with a friend over WiFi. You can even sit on your boat and enjoy the sunset. Other features like playing with a dolphin, treasure quests, and aquarium building.
Check out some video and more details.
| Nintendo wrote: | For players really looking to kick back and relax Endless Ocean features several soothing modes. On the deck of the boat is a deckchair that allows the player to sit and watch the sea. Alternatively in the aquarium section of the game players can select fish they have seen and add them in an aquarium for a closer inspection. What's more this game even doubles up as a tranquil screensaver if the Wii Remote is left untouched. The relaxed setting is further heightened with a tranquil soundtrack from New Zealand songstress Hayley Westenra.
If players prefer to dive with a buddy, the Wii's unique WiFi Connection Service allows players link up with their friends. By exchanging friend codes, two players may dive and explore the ocean together. In this co-op mode they have access to all the tools that can be used in single player mode, as well as an additional mode of communication controlled with the D-pad. With a fish logbook to complete, items to be salvaged and collected and the ability to listen to your own MP3's via the Wii SD Card slot while you dive, Endless Ocean provides hours of entertainment. |
Suprisingly, it is developed by Arika, the developer of Street Fighter II (they also made a similar game, Everblue, for PS2). |

I rather enjoy sunsets in a boat in real life. (best graphics lawl)
I don't plan on getting this game, but I GUESS it would be good for them fish lovers. It's not like it will be like Street Fighter and your fish go con fu fighting. |

This has to be a Relax-O-Fest. That's what I seem to think! |
