I think it's cool how a game like Endless Ocean is getting another chance to see the light of day. I love it when Nintendo revisits their more obscure and underutilized series, like what they did with Famicom Detective Club, Advance Wars, and Another Code. Here's hoping they'll continue to do that with their other overlooked and underrated games/series in the future!
Unfortunately this entry into the series based off the small amount I've played seems rather half added. The graphics are somehow worse than the last game from 15 years ago, and so far the story is not even close to as gripping as the story in both other games. Also I kind of enjoyed the way the second game went with factoring in the elements a bit more by having an oxygen meter along with having to neutralize aggressive sharks and what not. Just my two cents though
I had to come here to see for myself. After all these years, my little brother (now 22) messaged me that this was coming next week. We had a friend who was diagnosed with cancer back when the first one came out. We didnt have much, but I saved up enough money to buy a wii and the OG endless ocean. Me and my brother spent countless hours playing this with our friend at his house not knowing what the end outcome would be. We had fun all the way up to the end. I cant tell you the wave of emotion that swept over me hearing the music. I do know that our friend is in a better place, hopefully playing his own endless ocean. I thank you for remembering those of us who played the old game and whole heartedly invite others that are on the fence to play this game. It truly is a tranquil experience like none other. For those who know, you know whats in store for us! I know this might not be seen but once again thank you!
Not everyone really lives....sounds like you ,your bro,and buddy lived just fine. I lost 2 good friends when I was a lad. One was shot....(So was I, in a drive by) He died holding my left hand (my right arm had Two bullets in it and was basically limp) He was scared, so was I....but I did my best to let him know he was a brave, honorable friend who stood up against the local group (rhymes with rang). This group harassed us relentlessly..... I can only say the members of this group who did it.... No longer walk this Earth....
I'm so excited for this I'm going to cry, truly. Blue World for me through one of the hardest times in my life and this game looks amazing. I can't wait to share this game with my kiddo.
I hope this will be a great first impression for you! I highly suggest trying the other games after this one. Blue World is my personal favourite. They are a spectacle not to be missed.
Seems VERY different from its predecessors but I'm soooo excited to chill in this game. I stan Endless Ocean 2 as one of the mightiest games on the wii/wii-u ever
@@tolstartheking While I do think that both those series deserve more than they get, there's a *lot* more IP that Nintendo could be marketing and boosting. I'm talking broader than just Star Fox or F-Zero. Starfy, Pilotwings, Kururin, Chee Chai Alien, Fossil Fighters, Magical Vacation, Pushmo, Excitebike, Rhythm Heaven, Punch Out: those are just a few examples. There's definitely quite a bit more, but it might be a bit much to list them all here. 😅
Heh, that's how the game starts is not enough oxygen, but as you progressive and level up, you'll be able to stay underwater for more than 2 hours of course.
i remember diving in the ruins at the start for the first time and encountering the shark there ....still a vivid memory even though its been years . same with helping the dolphine getting back to its group at this specific stone formation or seeing manaties for the first time.
Weird that the fish glowing is actually worked into the narrative as "algae". I REALLY hope it becomes a toggle after you complete the story; finding new fishies for your encyclopedia using personal intuition was part of the fun.
As someone who's a big fan of photography 📸 this game actually looks really cool! I think seeing a game where you can go on undersea dives and take photos of fish in both modern and prehistoric era without having to actually go diving underwater and risk getting attacked by sharks or stung by stingrays is something really cool to see!
Been here since the original Endless Ocean. This series has brought me so much happiness over the last several years. There are no words to describe how excited I am for this game.
Y'know, the game looks beautiful. Anyone who says the Switch isn't capable of "good graphics" and such should probably look at this game. The fish move and react realistically too, I'm impressed. It's nice to see this series come back. I like Nintendo's more chill series like this and Pilotwings.
Yes! Some really solid info! I have a really good feeling for how this game is gonna be now, and I'm excited! One big negative, though, is the apparent lack of going on land and any animals that could be found there. There's not even any penguins or seals! Who's idea was this!? 😭 Still some interesting stuff, though. Especially with the glowing creatures and the missions for finding mythicals. The animals following you mechanic is adorable too, ngl.
I wouldn't give up hope on that yet. Worst case scenario I'm sure we'll see seals and penguins in the water but I wouldn't be surprised if there are places to come ashore. The trailers can't give away ALL the features before launch, or at least they shouldn't. The ones that do tend to spoil so much that it detracts from the experience.
@@kevmclarty the story mode wasn't much in the other games either. Forever mad about all that build up for the "mythical creature" at the end to be a white whale.
A peaceful underwater game yesss :). Subnatica your reaper leviathon scared me to the point where my skull decided to take a trip half way across the world and back.
I'vd been dreaming it would be really nice hobby to snorkling and diving somewhere where is warm Ocean and Coral reef. This Endless Ocean Luminous looks really amazing game under the Sea. 😮😊
I wish they'd show some of the story plot and not just all the online stuff. It's making it seem like it's a bare bones Endless Ocean of simply diving, looking at fish & hanging out with ppl. I enjoyed going through the story on Wii and loved having the dolphins to train and whatnot. The game had more than just looking at fish. They also gave you that museum tank and the area in the reef you were trying to revive or whatever. Might have to wait for reviews before I consider this one.
The story has always been pretty lame ( aka dragon = boring white whale). So I'm not expecting miracles with this one. But I did enjoy the museum and such. It does show dolphin partners so training could still be there. And it looks like even more partners than just dolphins which could be awesome.
@SohiHien Yeah but still, you had a character who wasn't faceless and an island to walk around and whatnot. It kinda seems like this new one might be all menus and ocean. No museum to go visit, no island to walk around. I'm worried about it being yet another Switch game kinda missing the substance and charm of previous series entries. I hope I'm wrong and it's still a great game despite the differences but idk, also skeptical. I mean I loved Endless Ocean on Wii and really want this new game to be good.
I've never heard of this series, but I'm super excited to play this. I bought another game called Beyond Blue and I've replayed it over and over hoping that another game similar to it would emerge. This is so much better than I hoped.
Blue World's Thanatos scarred me for life; every night, religiously, I have horrific nightmares about sharks, sharks bigger than any other. And now, it's time to face that fear.
This game looks so amazing! I wish it was coming to Steam. I don't own a Switch, but for those who do, you're in for a treat. The exploration and cozy vibes are awesome!
Yay, a confirmed story mode ❤ And the purple lightning bolts around the mysterious fish at the end .... Can't say I'm not getting flashbacks to artifact hunting 🤩
I hope this game has a good story like the last one. I really enjoyed being able to hang out on our own private island, it was cool being able to decorate it! I really like the characters, too❤
3:29 There's an arowana and longnose gar tag. Does this confirm that freshwater animals are in this game like Blue World? Update: There's an Arapaima tag at 3:44. This basically confirms freshwater critters.
As a Sim racer, And a fan of all things with an engine, I don't know what about. This is appealing to me except for everything about it. I'll be picking one up.
I played the one on the Wii growing up. That starting out shallows area is a part of me that I always remember and that my family remembers from watching me play on the living room TV. Definitely going to buy this, even if it’s just for nostalgia.
Honestly so excited for this but did anyone else spot Thanatos chilling in the reef biome? Like seeing Ganondorf just casually strolling through a meadow..
If celtic woman or hayley westerna is not in the game its a missed opportunity for nostalgia
I’m low key worried about the music and generally the games art direction
True
BIG agree
If they do go for someone different, Anuna would be great IMO. They did the singing for Xenoblade 2.
@@kevmclartysubnautica is the benchmark for me.
I WAITED FOURTEEN YEARS FOR THIS
WE'RE MAKING IT OFF THE DIVE BOAT WITH THIS ONE 🌊🌊🌊💯💯
👍
Any one played Endless Ocean: Blue World? I can't be the only one who is HYPE for this, right?!
I loved blue world. I can't wait to see if this game has a story, and how it compared to blue world's story
Never played Blue World, but i did play the original Endless Ocean and I am super hyped for the game.
I remember playing Blue world on the Wii, the giant squid had always scared me
Played Blue World and the original one. They're some of my favorite games
I played the original on the Wii, but I’m still super hype! This game looks so good!
At long last.
We're back
Been long overdue since 2009 man.....Been long overdue.

Pitch black depths 😃
Yeahhh 😊
Least their honest about the experience. 😅
Finding the abyss in the original Wii version felt so epic.
It comes with a head clamp assecoire that tightens the deeper you dive for a more immersive experience.
@@EricGranata I've never been so scared of the ocean until that moment. LOL
I'm so excited for this I'm going to cry, truly. Blue World for me through one of the hardest times in my life and this game looks amazing. I can't wait to share this game with my kiddo.

Same. It looks really awesome.
The game has such sights to show you! I could not get enough of the first two.
Endless ocean is a name ive not heard in a very long time
Day one for me.

It got leaked?
I already preordered the day it hit the eshop.

Nintendo’s actually giving this game some decent marketing. Only 2 weeks since the last trailer.
Gives me hope that they'll start doing this with a lot more of their obscure series with the next system. 😊
@@PCEngineLivesI feel like whenever people say this they almost ALWAYS mean Starfox or F-Zero.

Still hoping There is the aquarium like in the second game at least now we know its not just a rogue like diving game but There is a Story !
Warning: 30 seconds of oxygen remaining
... Subnautica??? 😰
There are leviathan class life forms in your area, are you sure whatever you’re doing is worth it?
*sweats profusely*
Aaaaaahhhhh!!! (Suspensful music starts playing going against the whole idea of this game)

It doesn’t seem like there will be, but I’m hoping for a few freshwater areas as well! The Cortica River was lovely

Oh Lord here we go folks
Thank you. I'm getting this game looks so beautiful and peaceful.

That’s Thanatos in the background
From Endless Ocean: Blue World
Yeah I nearly screamed it’s so good to see him again!
Oh my gosh, you're right!!
Welcome to Nine Ball Island. You don't wanna know how it got that name!
There’s four dudes here, plus one dude who had a MAJOR accident. We call him The Cyclops!
It’s also the place we call home, it has all of the modern convenience we need like one butterfinger.
If I ever find my OJ in your collection, YOU ARE DEAD.

3:36 cool to see that more of blue world’s legendary creatures are making a return for this game
4:03 Yes! I think that’s Thanatos in the background there too!
Quick! Someone call the Game Grumps! There's a new Endless Ocean game to play!
I never got the chance to play Endless Ocean, or its sequel on the Wii, but I really want to check this game out. This game looks very chill.
It better have Celtic Woman

When i need it the most. This helped when i was going through depression at a young age and now that its at it's worst i get this. Thank you nintendo.
This looks so relaxing
It is, endless ocean was
ikr
So happy another endless ocean is being released
The Graphics For This Game Is Pretty Much How I Interpreted The Graphics When After Original Game Came Out
I played the first 2 and I am SO excited for this! Thank you for giving us a third in the series! Here's to many more
In Japan, it's "Forever Blue Luminous"
Well titles can be different depending on the country.
That’s because endless ocean is called forever blue in Japan in case you didn’t know that.
@@rohitkashyap9904 I am watched the japanese trailer first and then the American trailer
I have never played Forever Blue so i don't know
@takeproduction2 and Starfox was called "Lylat Wars" in the UK.
Localization sure does exist.
I loveed the missions on Blue World, I guess we don’t have the photo magazine, tourtist dive and search for objects missions..😢
I have been waiting for this sequel for years
It would be a dream come true if this game ended up receiving continued support after it's release 😍
*LET YOUR ARMS ENFOLD US~*
Under the sea!!!

Already got my copy payed for and ready for release day.

Remember playing the other games with my mother when I was younger, can’t wait to show her this 😍

This is one of the nicest looking Switch games I've ever seen. Great job, Nintendo.
Can't wait to play this game and see other switch players swimming around🎉🤣
This looks like a game to be played on a wide screen HD TV, in docked mode.
So can we actually interact with the mosasaurs and such this time around or are they just random background events like in the first 2 games.
Amazon pre-orders are still broken...where should I pre-order a physical copy instead?
"Oh my god, it's a f*cking whale! JESUS CHRIST!!!"
