I tried that once. With only preset chat it is kind of awkward. The water pen doesn't work well as a source of communication.

We could still try it sometime though. You could show me around since it's been so long that I wouldn't remember where anything is.

How many people can go diving at the same time it the original?

Mop it up · « **Reply #27 on:** August 16, 2009, 03:25:36 AM »

Just two.

I was looking on eBay and sealed copies of Endless Ocean 1 go for close to $40 if they are sealed. Didn't realize the game got so rare

Interesting, I think stores still stock it here.

Does it still look like an early generation PS2 game?

ROFL just playing.

Neat video on Endless Ocean 2 an dthe new features:

http://wiifolder.com/2009/09/video-tour-endless-ocean-2-overview/

The visuals are even more gorgeous then the first game (including above land). It appears to be more open as well, not only that but you can feed various fish (including the dangerous animals which is risky).

I am glad it has WiiSpeak support. I may pick this up. My sister had the first one and I tried it but it felt really lonely and restrictive.

Also, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Endless Ocean 1 sold over a million copies.

But will this one support SD custom song selection? I hope you can make a whole play list this time instead of one song.

You got me disappointed that there was new information about this game.
I wonder if it is still going to be $30 like the first one.

Stratos · « **Reply #33 on:** November 15, 2009, 04:02:19 AM »

Sorry, I either had forgotten or never heard of the WiiSpeak support so this was seemingly new for me when I was poking around older threads.

Mop it up · « **Reply #34 on:** November 15, 2009, 04:08:39 AM »

Yeah, the first game is terribly uninteresting to play online because there's no real form of communication. I don't think I would want to play this without the accessory. I wonder if there will be a Wii Speak bundle?

So the question stands...you sound like you want to get this game, will you be getting the WiiSpeak bundle?

Mop it up · « **Reply #36 on:** November 15, 2009, 04:14:57 AM »

The answer is probably the same as if there will be a bundle.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #37 on:** November 15, 2009, 07:29:13 PM »

That video looked cool.

Have we heard if this game allows custom soundtracks like the first one?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #38 on:** November 15, 2009, 07:34:12 PM »

I'll look into that later tonight ShyGuy and Stratos. Watching the Matrix Trilogy now.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #39 on:** November 16, 2009, 01:59:53 AM »

Haven't been able to find any info on that ShyGuy and Stratos.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #40 on:** November 16, 2009, 03:16:20 AM »

Sorry about the Matrix Trilogy Maxi.

Stratos · « **Reply #41 on:** November 16, 2009, 04:03:57 AM »

Yeah, the only redeeming factor of the third movie was the soundtrack...like the need for this game to have a custom one!

It is out in Japan. We just need to badger someone with a Japanese Wii to get it. Maybe the NWR Japanese correspondent could look into it?

Mop it up · « **Reply #42 on:** November 16, 2009, 04:19:06 AM »

Wow, I didn't realize this came out back in September in Japan.

There is a website up for the game here:

I managed to find this in the mess:

また前作のようにSDカードに入れた曲をかけながら潜ることはできなくなりました。

Somewhat accurate translation:
"Previous option of diving whilst using tracks on the SD card is no longer available."

So there you go, no custom soundtrack support.

Stratos · « **Reply #43 on:** November 16, 2009, 04:20:11 AM »

Does Nintendo hate the SD slot and regret ever adding it? Support the dang thing!

Though maybe they found it was a security loop hole so that is why they are not using it anymore.

Mop it up · « **Reply #44 on:** November 16, 2009, 04:25:02 AM »

It's a question I have myself. The music in Excite Truck is mop-awful, and if it weren't for the custom soundtrack feature then I don't know if I could have tolerated the game. It has me worried about playing ExciteBots since it doesn't have the feature...

How difficult is it to implement, anyway?

And the award for best avoidance of a derail goes to.... :drumroll:

Mop-awful.

Stratos · « **Reply #47 on:** November 16, 2009, 05:55:34 PM »

Hey, it's an improvement to the usual derailing we take a thread through, right?

Mop it up · « **Reply #48 on:** November 16, 2009, 06:22:49 PM »

So I had a look at the box shot of Endless Ocean 2 and I saw an SD card logo:

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/3/954373_113931_back.jpg

This made me wonder if I was wrong about the custom soundtracks, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not. It looks like you can save the photos that you take to the SD card.

If this is $30 I will defiantly buy it! I have the first and I really liked it, I love exploration games!
