- This is a review of Endless Ocean Blue World / Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep on the Nintendo Wii. It is also a follow up to my video on the Original Endless Ocean.
Genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. I'm so upset Luminous regressed. 😭
Based on fan response (I just got Luminous the other day and haven’t played it yet) they should have just ported or remastered this game instead.
This was such an amazing thing what a gem
Sadly the new one is nowhere near as in depth as this one is and is incredibly stripped back instead. Feels more like a $50 tech demo for now incredibly outdated hardware
That’s sad to hear. I feel bad for the fans who have waited so long for a new one. I hope they still can find some enjoyment in it.
This game is absolutely beautiful. It is a staple in my childhood. I hope it becomes more popular.
I hope so too. It’s a great game that deserves to be played. I’m sad I missed this one back in the day. Hopefully the new game revitalizes the series.
Luminous sucks compared to this masterpiece !
It's sad that luminous will be the first endless ocean game to a lot of people, it could have been so much more. I'm scared people will think "that's endless ocean ? Damn it's bad, not worth playing the other games" and crash the licence's popularity.
I really hope luminous wonnt be the last endless ocean game ever
Obviously you never know, but I don’t think it’ll be the last game. Arika has been making these diving games since 2001, and they don’t really have any other big franchises (go check out their Wikipedia page, what a weird list of games developed). So I’m hopeful someday the Blue World fans will get the game they want.
why did they put an orange slice on a glass of carton orange juice?? did they not have the whole orange to make the juice?? 0/10
Just finished playing EO2 for the first time since childhood. So underrated and a must-play for anyone interested in the ocean.
Thank you for watching & your profile and username are amazing. I am going to go watch Band Geeks now.
Heres hoping we get another endless ocean game after luminous, espicially since it sold well enough to make the top ten first week in europe
Awesome video! I wonder if you have seen the gameplay and reviews for Luminous, though? It cuts almost EVERYTHING from Endless Ocean 2.
I’ve seen the reviews. It almost sounds like a sequel to Endless Ocean 1 instead of 2. I’ll probably still get it to see for myself, but it doesn’t sound like I’ll like it as much as this game. Curious to see what fans of the series think though.
They should put it on switch for real. One of my favorite games as a kid
I could see it happening tbh. Lots of Wii games are coming over lately.
I dream of a remaster of this game
Yes spot on about the story mode,I am not online but the solo mode is ok even though I feel like I am going around in circles in places.
I’m glad you liked the game! I spent hours playing this game as a kid, it was one of my favorites growing up. I loved the story and characters even though they were a bit campy, I loved collecting treasure and finding mythical species. I was really excited for the new game, but it doesn’t even feel like an endless ocean game… Curious to hear your thoughts if/when you get around to it. But I think I’ll just go back to playing this game instead
I just got it the other day, so I need some time to go through it yet, but based on what all the fans are saying, I don’t have high hopes. I hope some day the fans get the sequel they deserve. I just don’t know why they didn’t just port or remaster Blue World at this point. I could barely find a physical copy of this game, which tells me I think they knew sales weren’t going to be great.
One of my top 5 favorite games fr fr
The Wii’s library is fantastic. So many hidden gems like this.
I literally just found out about the Endless Ocean franchise today, and as someone who loves to be in the water, I was immediately drawn to the long overdue addition of an air and depth meter. I assume the depth meter is in meters because the diver's icon turns yellow between the 30 and 45 markings. That is no coincidence: 40 meters (~130 feet) is the safe depth limit for recreational scuba diving, and 20 meters (~65 feet) is where you earn your basic open water certification.
I know nothing about diving, so that’s a cool detail I would have never picked up on, thank you for pointing that out! and assuming they did that on purpose, it’s pretty cool that the developers did their homework on that. You can tell this game was made by people who really like the art of diving.
@HydratedGaming Indeed! I noticed in Subnautica that the depth meter does one better on this one by actually giving a numerical readout of how deep you're diving. I forgot to add this in my previous comment, but I'm not sure if there is a way to set the depth meter to feet. Not that I would want to try; Japan uses the metric system anyway, which is extremely linear.
Hell yeah good video. What other Wii games do you have in mind to make a review of? Might I suggest World of Goo? Its also getting a second game even if you havent played the first one its pretty damn good.
Thank you very much! World of Goo apparently got ported to switch a few years ago, so based on your recommendation I’ve added it to my list to try to track down a physical copy. If I find one, I’ll make a video. If you have any other recommendations, I am certainly open to suggestions!
I’d love a short part 2 of the things you weren’t able to show in this video, as always great review! 🔥
I’ll probably compare it to the new one when it comes out, so maybe that would be a good time to do that! Either way, thank you for watching!
Definitely need a review on luminous
It’s on the way!
Nice video 👍
Thank you very much jank.
