Endless Ocean: Blue World
© 2010 Nintendo of America
The second in the Endless Ocean series, this one player diving simulation and exploration game lets you learn about 300 species of marine life, from jellyfish to whales. If you played the first game, you'll find this version to have a nearly identical look, feel and control mechanism. New features include the story element and the addition of content. You "swim" by coordinating the motion of both the Nunchuk and the Wii Remote, as you search for salvageable items that can be sold to buy items for your island reef, which attracts new fish. For the first time, you can deliver healing energy to ailing creatures, hitch a ride with a trainable dolphin, and uncover mysteries of an ancient underwater civilization. You can also connect and dive with a friend via Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, and chat with one another using the Wii Speak microphone (sold separately). Developed by ARIKA for Nintendo.
