It would be cool to see them expand upon this gameplay style. I'd also hope for a hard mode, but that will never happen.

I'm curious to see how the 4 characters work. That's a cool idea. I'll have to look at that game too sometime. That sounds very interesting.

Thank you very much for watching! I think it's a truly great game for a more inexperienced audience. Glad games like this exist.

Thank you so much for watching!

I don’t think that effect was in the Wii U version, which is weird because you’d think that would be an easy one for them to do to a lot of the games. Thank you for catching that.

Tbh when I started I never even thought 7 people would watch these, so 71 is awesome to me. Thank you for those extremely kind words. Amazing people like yourself make this so fun to do.

Thank you for the kind words brother

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. I really appreciate it. And I was surprised how many games they’ve made! I’d imagine the PC games focused on actual coloring? I had PC creativity coloring book type games as a kid and I loved them.

I will never forget you. Thank you for the kind words.

I will keep an eye on it for a sale then. Does it work ok with modern PCs or do I have to mess with it a bit? I know the sims 1 and 2 don’t play well with newer PCs and versions of windows.

​@@HydratedGaming yeah the older sims games run horrible on modern computers, but honestly i don't remember doing anything extra to get mysims working, just bought it from ea's app. also i wanted to add the garden was used for online stuff before, i guess you and your friends could visit each others gardens and exchange essences, there was 9 buildings you guys can deco together, there was a chat bar and unique emotes. honestly a wonderful idea but the online functionality is long gone. you can still visit your own garden tho, i use mine for storage lol.

Thank you for watching & your profile and username are amazing. I am going to go watch Band Geeks now.

Thank you for watching! And that is a great comparison. If you have a Wii, I do recommend the 2nd game: Endless Ocean Blue Word / Adventures of the Deep depending on your region.

That’s a good point I wish I would have mentioned about not having different bodies of water. That was one of the coolest aspects of Blue World. This new map doesn’t feel like a real place in the world. Regarding Switch Games, I’d say they seem to be either really fantastic or meh. Mario, Zelda, Kirby, and Smash I think knocked it out of the park this Gen. Pokémon, Yoshi, DK, Mario Sports, Mario Maker, and Wii Sports were kind of disappointing. (and I’d add Animal Crossing and Mario Kart to the disappointing list but I believe that may be a hot take).

Yeah any sort of behaviors would be welcome. The world needs to feel more alive.

Were marine reptiles actually smart or social though?

Yup. That pretty much sums it up. I hope some day there’s a more traditional entry. I’d love to see an evolution of blue world.

The Wii’s library is fantastic. So many hidden gems like this.

Thank you so much for watching. Yeah I agree with you. They should have named it something else because I don’t think this is what people had in mind for the next EO game.

I agree. The older ones feel like more love went into their development. I didn’t play any of the games until this year, so i don’t think it’s just nostalgia when people are saying this.

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 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.

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.

It’s on the way!

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.

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.

I am planning on doing so, but I just got it the other day. It was hard to find a physical copy for some reason.

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.

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.

I wish I would have known about the series when I was younger because I would have loved it too. If you haven’t checked out the sequel too you totally should. Endless Ocean Blue World, also on the Wii & still a very cheap buy if you have a Wii around.

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.

Thank you very much jank.

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!

Thank you for watching!!
