Gnngh, I want a new Wii game. Metroid or Endless Ocean though, that's the question.

Metroid looks a bit much (I don't need another epic sci-fi romp), and Endless Ocean doesn't look enough (I like fish very much, but what else can you do with them apart from touching them up?)

Also - I fucking hate dolphins.

Just played endless ocean , its ok but not a lot to do (as much as i wanted to like this game i found it boring to be honest).
Metroid would get my money or if you can wait definatly get mario galaxy you wont be disapointed

Yeah, just picked up Endless myself - really, really lovely chill-out no brainer software - gently move around and 'pet' animals nintendogs style to get nearer 100% on all creatures you can find in the pretty, fictional area you can move your boat around it.

Boring isn't an unfair criticism of it, as they could surely add extra to do, and haven't - it's a simple unthreatening peice of software, designed to be that way and I really like it. Often after a hard day I want to relax with Wii but nnone of my games, even something like Elebits, is simple enough. Always too much point to playing, too many things to consider. In this you just swim. 45 minutes just flew by

Also, being able to make friends with an African Penguin is a system seller for me.

/edit can someone else with this try to register their stars - mine won't be accepted for ome reason

You can dive on the internet with a friend.

My friend code is 2850 3827 0873

I'm off to work in an hour, but from late Saturday afternoon I'm up for doing a dive with someone to try it out. PM me or go through #llamasoft I reckon.

Cool, I ended up getting this in the end. I could do with a relaxing weekend with a couple o' scrolls and a bit of fish touching. And at 19 quid, it was the cheaper option. And along with Super Not As Monkey Good As The Gamecube Version Ball traded in, it came to a most agreeable Â£6.99

It's out today? Nice. I think I'll get this on the way home.

You up for a dive Mr Swith sir?

Defo, I'll textually harass you on IRC tomorrow

I'm struggling to find the fish people want to see at the moment. A trip to gamefaqs is in the offing.

Fuck, I'm not listening to Hayley Westernra while I'm bobbing about on the High Seas. I'd better get some music sorted on me SD card, as I believe this game lets you do that listening to your own taste in music

Hmm, but what tunes to dive to? I'm thinking Ice-T: Original Gangster

Governmentyard · Post by **Governmentyard** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 3:23 pm 0

So far I've listened to 'The Blue' by David Gilmour, 'Syndir Guos' by Sigur Ros from Von and 'Displacement' by Biotron Shelf, all of which are excellent.

I like that Westenra song, makes a good theme for the game but I'll hate it in a week if I keep listneing to it!

Anyone figures a good way of finding fish, let me know. Took the first guy out for a dive and he moaned about wanting a bump headed somesuch, eventually found i for him once the girl in the litle shorts said I could finish when ready. Then I took this japanese chick out in the lagoon, which is tiny, and she wanted a powder blue fish where I've found the normal blue ones previously. checked every fish, no powder blue. She game me a 'C' which isn't fair because I was trying my best

In the Japanese version, you don't have to show them "the fish" to get the A rating. Show them other fish with explanations many times, then in time Catherine will let you know the client is *really* satisfied.
