Endless Ocean: Blue World, Nintendo’s sequel to its 2008 fish touching… er, scuba diving simulation is due in just a few weeks. To get everyone ready for a second trip into the briny deep, Nintendo today released a new trailer.
The trailer shows off the expanded set of “unique tools” available to the diver, not the least of which is the Pulsar, which will “heal and calm aquatic life.” Whether the tool was healing or calming the sharks in the video remains, for now, unclear.
No one should worry about Blue World coming up short on the content side of the equation. Over 300 species of fish are present and accounted for. Multiple dive environments, from the icy arctic to the balmy tropics, are available to explore. Blue World also features support for the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and will even make use of the Wii Speak peripheral.
Here’s the trailer:
I’ve got to admit that I was something of a fan of the first game. Open worlds and calm exploration can be a nice change of pace from the many other, more hectic games on my shelf. That said, there wasn’t ultimately enough forward momentum to keep my interest. I’m hoping for a bit more direction in the sequel. What about you? Did you play the first Endless Ocean? What are you hoping for in Blue World?
Endless Ocean: Blue World releases exclusively for the Nintendo Wii February 22nd.
