 Amazon is offering players who pre-order Endless Ocean: Blue World the chance to receive a Wii Speak microphone bundled with the game for no additional cost.    

It is a limited time offer currently available on Amazon. The Endless Ocean: Blue World/Wii Speak has yet to appear on any retailer listing.    

Endless Ocean: Blue World, retailing for $29.99, offers an expanded online mode where players can speak to each other using the peripheral while exploring the seas. The title will be available on February 22.

Glad I PMed GP and Mop_it_up about this. They have been asking about this type of bundle for a while.

I guess the crap voice quality is good for something.

I don't know what you are talking about. While I've only used it for Animal Crossing Wii Speak has surpassed my expectations. Hell, some of the cable has been destroyed and the unit still works fine.

Unless you are comparing it to some highly advanced microphone...

Actually, Conduit.  (a whole new bag of beans compared to AC...)

I haven't played that so I can't comment on that. I do know that with Animal Crossing I didn't have any issues. The worse I've ever gotten is with a player that has bad lag or has the microphone near something that creates feedback. But for the time I've played the game I really loved what Wii Speak could do.

Okay, I've already jumped on this. $29 is a good enough price to begin with, but the wii speak sealed the deal for me. That's something I don't yet have, so this works out good.

Does this game actually teach you about the underwater sea life?

I have a feeling that there is a very limited supply of the accessory, and that they've already taken more orders than they'll be able to fill. The game spent time on the top ten best-sellers in videogames, so I hope that nobody is counting on receiving a freebie.

It probably can. In the first game, I believe that you had some sort of fish journal, and every creature that you interacted with would be logged into it. When you spent more time with the creatures then a couple more pages of information about them would become available. I've no idea how accurate the information or behavioral patterns are.
