Nintendo is making a recall for the buggy "Forever Blue" game, that started selling on Aug. 2
Get ready to take the plunge with underwater exploration game Endless Ocean following Nintendo's announcement that it's swimming to Europe on November 9.
I just don't think the Wii's graphics will be able to do justice to the concept.
1080P would be nice.
It'll be a nice and relaxing game I'm sure, along with the Wii Remote for control should prove nicely
So EU gets this game Nov 9th, but has an exact NA release date been set? All I see is Q1 2008 for NA.
Swim lazily over coral reefs, admiring the fish and listening to the soothing/annoying sounds of Hayley Westenra, the Kiwi Charlotte Church. If that's your idea of a good time, then welcome to your New Best Game Ever. If not, have a word with yourself and come back with an attitude readjustment, because you need to forget any preconceptions you may have had. Forever Blue is console psychotherapy, and it's totally brilliant.
It's also a proper game, believe it or not, with missions and objectives. That there's a complete lack of challenge in any of it only adds to its supremely relaxing nature, but you do get a feeling of accomplishment after acing another task or finding a particularly pretty sort of fish.
I think the game has a novel concept and looks like a lot of fun. But I am sure many of the Wii-haters who happen to frequent this site will bash it for not being "hardcore" enough. As if a game has to be "hardcore" to be fun.
It would be a nice way to unwind after a hectic gaming session of Attack & Defend in Rainbow Six: Vegas...
The only drawback I noticed were the mediocre visuals, but I have a feeling the type of person who would really get into this isn't necessarily a graphics whore.
I'm afraid my viewpoint has been jaded due to some of the eye popping visuals that are now out on the Xbox 360 and PS3. I'd love to see an iteration of this title for one of those powerhouses.
I WOULD LOVE THIS GAME FOR THE XBOX360 OR PS3 O WELL LOOKS LIKE IM GOING TO BY A WII FOR CHRISTMAS.
Will love this title. I'll bring it home as a surprise and I know it will be well-received. Anyone who enjoys Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Sims, and the like will probably thoroughly enjoy this title.
This game is slowly turning out to be the sleeper hit for 2007. Famitsu scored it high and now CVG has scored it high as well. I'm still not sure whether I'd like this type of game but if others are enjoying it, I may give it a shot.
Famitsu score wasn't great. Last I heard the Japanese Version or some version was half broke.
But anywhos, Hope the American Version gets tweaked and fixed so it'll be worth playing for more than 10 minutes [hahaha. I didn't say 5 ;P]
Famitsu collectively gave Forever Blue a 35/40 and ya, a major bug was discovered in the game after its release. It went through a recall and the bug has since been fixed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
"On August 10, 2007, Nintendo issued a recall of the game in Japan after a major bug was found in copies of the game released on August 2, 2007. Nintendo have re-released the game in Japan with the bug removed. The bug caused the screen to go blank and caused the console to freeze as soon as you put in one or more bowmouth guitarfish in the Aquarium, in which you can reexamine your categorized underwater creatures. The exploration mode is not affected by this bug."
Ah, then I must have remembered a different game that scored low.
Oh wait. Now I remember. that was Escape to Bug Island :D
@Darkiewonder - Escape to Bug Island!??? Never heard of it... but it sounds hilariously lame
Eurogamer's most wanted 2007 games for Wii:
"Most Wanted lists like those featured in this series bring out the worst in a readership (as 300-odd furious comments in our previous two articles demonstrate with car-crash appeal). For many gamers who own just one of the three main players, defending their chosen machine is not just about fighting for its honour but also about justifying their own wisdom as a consumer. Gamers who have eschewed Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for a Wii may well fight with similar (also pointless) vigour, but with so few games in the Wii's catalogue, they certainly have a lot less ammunition. Newfound gaming grannies and mainstream press column inches don't pack quite the same punch as a Halo 3 or Metal Gear Solid 4 in the playground debates."
My wanted Wii list is quite simple:
1.Metroid Prime 3
2.Super Mario Galaxy
3.Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
My wanted Wii list is also simple:
1) Super Smash Bros Brawl
2) Super Mario Galaxy
3) Super Smash Bros Brawl
4) Metroid Prime 3 Corruption
5) Super Smash Bros Brawl
Yep, my Wii top five...
You really want Super Smash Bros Brawl. I'm waiting to see if Sonic joins the cast.
Gotta update my list:
4.Super Smash Bros Brawl
5.No More Heroes
Definitely gonna get brawl. that's getting online play right?
I'm still a little upset Metroid Prime 3 isn't getting online. I know that isn't what the core of the game has been about, but it would've been nice. Any one else think there should be online for MP3??
You know what would really, truly, kick ass?
A big, hi-def, next gen Super Mario game for PS3 and 360.
Just a whole new Super Mario (Like the N64 one) but on the next gen consoles!
You have to admit that it would kick major ass!
but I plan on getting one this holiday season. These are my top 5 most wanted:
1. Manhunt 2 (Please make it uncut.)
2. NiGHTS: Journey of dreams (I'm a huge Nights fan since the Sega Saturn days)
3. Super Mario Galaxy
4. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
this sure is stimulating discussion. deciding which one of the 2 or 3 games coming to wii in the next YEAR you are going to get. you're all going to buy them all because there are'nt very many scheduled to come out. i think the bigger topic about this article is just how FEW games there are for the wii right now as well as in the future. someone should shake nintendo and let them know that the system is selling because it's cheap and that they better get some games going or it'll end up like the N64 and the GC.
"this sure is stimulating discussion. deciding which one of the 2 or 3 games coming to wii in the next YEAR you are going to get."
Huh? This is about 2007, not 2008. None of the Wii games have the hype of PS3 or 360 games in N4G, but it doesn't prove anything of their quality. I'll wait until the reviews. I have already predicted that Wii will get more AAA games this year than PS3 or 360. Let's see at the end of the year who's right and who's not.
Anyways, here's my list of US released 07 games I'm going to keep my eyes on (definately doesn't mean I'm going to buy them all):
-SSBB
-SMG
-MP3
-RE Umbrella Chronicles
-Endless Ocean
-Battalion Wars Wii
-Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn
-Dewy's Adventure
-Manhunt 2
-Nights: Journey of Dreams
-Zack&Wiki
-No More Heroes
-Madden 08
-Tiger Woods 08
-Soul Calibur Legends
-Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
-Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
EDIT: I haven't purchased a current gen console yet, because there aren't that much games I want on any of them. Wii has two AAA titles: Zelda (not the biggest fan of the series) and RE4 (already played it, might pick up the Wii edition when the price goes down). PS3 has one AAA title and 360 has six of them, but there's only one I'm interested in: Oblivion. Other than AAA titles I might get for the consoles are Super Paper Mario, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Forza 2 and Viva Pinata. Not enough for now.
One of the very few games on the wii to get crazy reviews, and by crazy I mean really good, is buggy ?, The graphics are nice as well.
we know this already, i thought they recall it all ready and they are going to fixed the problem.
They didn't deny the bug or blame users for 18 months....
"It`s a sad,sad situation, and it`s getting more and more..." Elton John`s music sums it all up. :(
It's a real shame that such an interesting looking game gets this negative spotlight. Of course, it's also good to see that the problem's already been taken care of.
