sweet! how do you get it? i wouldnt mind that for my wii

[801]

it was released on tuesday in the US. i think also in Canada too. :)
its been out for a few months in Europe already though.

I don't think its out in Canada yet but when it does come out I think I'll get it. Looks like a cool game and there really aren't many other games like it.

I've had it for a few months now.... it is not really a game as such... you just swim around and discover the ocean and it's inhabitants - when you find a fish you can get all the scientific details on it etc.

There are no goals or rules... it is just a chill game where you swim around and make discoveries

i went with someone to the video store today and they had endless ocean for $29.99, i ended up getting it, its really cool!

[801]

i did end up getting it, and i must say it is very relaxing.
not so much a game really, but if you have a nice big tv and you turn out the lights in the room its really nice to swim around in the reef. i only wish that the wii was capable of hi def. this game would look beautiful in 1080p.

[cocoa_pleco]

ive heard of wii hi-def cables but i dont know if they make a difference.

[801]

theyre component cables, and they do make a difference.
not a lot, but it is a slight improvement over the standard composite cables.
you can get them on eBay for about $12 including shipping. (retail is about $40-$50).

the problem is that wii video output is limited to 480p.
and since now i have a 40" 1080p HDTV, wii just looks horribly choppy on it.
the resolutions dont match, so the graphics suffer on hidef screens.

but i have heard rumors around 'tinternet that there might be an HD Wii in the works. a Wii 2.0, of sorts. great for the gadget junkies like me, but also bad news for the homebrew community as well.

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah. same, i have a 40" HDTV and with my 360 1080p HDTV looked awesome but with the wii it might look choppy

[Tigerbarb]

WoW! A productive video game for once!

[cocoa_pleco]

its pretty awesome, its actually relaxing. the sharks dont attack you or anything, and sometimes you see penguins in the ocean

[Tigerbarb]

I don't have a wii, but they should make a macintosh computer version.

[cocoa_pleco]

the coolest part is you have to find out info on the fish by kinda pi$$ing it off. you can poke it, pet it, or feed it, and after a while a page of info on the fish comes up. theres easily recognizable fish like green chromis, yellow tangs, lionfish, hammerhead sharks, copper banded butterfly's, etc.

Looks like a good game to learn alot of history on the fish. I like wii games they are more interactive and fulfilling than most video games. I mean I don't mind running around and senselessly slaughtering people on games when I'm frustrated but not all the time.....
