Who's part of OG Wii Endless Ocean Blue World gang? I remember playing it on my old friend's Wii.
Me
I have both games
I LOVED that, this takes me back to my childhood 😭
@@jasonramirez1064 Both games?
@@bighand1530Blue World is the sequel
Man, I can't wait to be terrified of a peaceful game again
If I had a nickel for every time I played an ocean-related game that had a peaceful vibe and art style but turned out to be creepy/scary I could probably buy a Big Mac
With headphones in a dark room is gonna be a great way to enjoy this game. 👍
@@noahjump2000I was gonna say Dolby Atmos 9.2.2 surround sound with Dolby Vision Pro visuals, multiple deep base subwoofers, but headphones will be 90% as good!
the deep ocean trench exploration and the bottomless pit of the arctic scared me as a kid lol
Ironically, the Finding Nemo game also had this effect on me too. I remember thinking the Shark level was eerie and dim, not exactly a friendly environment 😂 But ya, it’s an otherworldly feeling of the quiet, alone, surrounded by unknown. Puts me on edge
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Endless Ocean Blue World was the first game I was ever really a fan of. My mom played it while my brother and I sat on the couch next to her, terrified of the deep water sections but occasionally stepping in to do dolphin training or museum curating. We read other players' blog posts and looked up tips and tricks online. It was my first experience going for 100% completion on a game too. It took us years to save up the $1 million to reopen the cavern of the gods because we actually needed to save $2 million for an achievement. When we started I had to count on my fingers how many zeroes a million had, and when we finally finished I was brave enough to swim through the Cavern alone. I can't overstate how much that game means to me. The sense of wonder, the exploration, the mysteries, the REAL knowledge of real sea creatures; even after having played hundreds more games this one still stands out. 16 years after we finished the campaign, I had given up hope on ever getting a new entry. I checked in every few years only to be met with radio silence. And then today, this appeared. I can't wait to revisit one of my favorite series. I hope it's made with as much love as the last one.
This has been announced for a while not just today. But yeah it's a pleasant surprise to say the least. I never got to experience the wii ones tho recently I played the original for a little. I'm very excited for this game.
You should watch more Nintendo Directs, because this Remaster is already well known to be coming. And btw: there is an Endless Ocean 2 on Wii
@@UndeadCollectorblue world is the second one
@@UndeadCollector this isn't a remaster, Luminous is a new entry to the series.
I'd almost given up on seeing a new EO game. Hopefully it will be as good as the first which i really enjoyed.
Played the first 2 religiously after my mother passed away 15 years ago when I was a little boy. Now 3 is coming out on my daughter's birthday. Life really comes full circle and I will forever hold Endless Ocean in my heart.
That's such a beautiful thing ❤
Spoiler Alert: If life really is a "full circle", u best order an extra coffin
I hope you enjoy it! These games can be such enjoyable therapy. Just relax and think of her.
Sorry for your loss.
One of the coolest features of the first game was adding your own music to listen to while exploring underwater. I can’t wait for this as I, and others, have been waiting a LONG time.
Exactly, the soul of this game need not be explained with words!
I have never played this game before but it looks cool, is it not boring though?
Yeah, petting dolphins with death metal playing in the background was an experience
@@unity.2315 It's not boring if you're into this kind of vibe and at the same time enjoy some marine life and oceanic exploration, otherwise it's not for you.
Switch 2 better have on-board audio environment like Playstation Link or you can GET LAUGHED RIGHT OFF MY BACK with these "ocean sounds". Yeah, it's boring fiddling with how to even get a good sound out of your device, so most people end up outputting it from whaever dinky aux they can get it from. Like integrated HDMI passthrough to TV speakers.
This is honestly one of my favorite “overview trailers” that Nintendo has released. No commentary. No text layovers. No snappy editing. Just pure game demonstration and organic audio to support. It’s so relaxing!!
@@Personthatexists dolphin hater spotted
@@jacksonlovesnintendo Just report him, he's just a troll
Honestly, It changed my outlook on the game: I'm thinking of buying it now!
It's the perfect Trailer for this game, this is what it's all about, experiencing the ocean, exploring, discovering
I mean because that’s what this game is about. This wouldn’t work for lots of other games. Makes me laugh when people think Nintendo hasn’t spent millions of dollars in knowing how best to market products.
I hope this one is a massive hit, and that it’s as good as its predecessors, because this series deserves it. The first two were beyond incredible.
I can’t even possibly express how much this game means to me. I was starstruck when I played Blue World as a kid and it truly was the reason that I fell in love with the ocean. I’m now in Uni with a major in marine biology because I played Blue World on the Wii like 15 years ago… and I never thought the day would come when it’d get a sequel. I’m so happy right now. And it’s coming so soon!!!
Holy gosh, I pretty much went through the same thing. The first game + Blue World captured my heart and are what really pushed me into wanting to explore the ocean as an adult. Still working on that Marine Bio major but it’s getting there. Glad to see someone with a shared experience!
This game looks nice. Honestly I haven't heard of this series until the latest partner direct. Hoping it will have a demo.
I remember renting the original one from blockbuster. Coming home, booting up the game while my mom made frozen crabcakes and shrimp. The power went out as soon as dinner was ready and my brother and I had just finished playing the game for several hours. We ate the dinner by candle light. It is one of my core memories.
Give me a 10 hour video of just this and I WILL SLEEP TO IT! God, I missed this series.
Wii U water guy is going to lose his mind.
Who?
@@SpiffyGiraffeCreations There was a person on Miiverse who was really into water. Though I think it was mostly for the effects and whatnot of water on the surface.
We need a new Wave Race just to see his reaction
The "Nice water" guy?
Who’s the Wii U water guy? Lol I love Wii U
This honestly sold me on it. I need a chill game to get into this year, seems like this is the hot ticket
Honestly yeah! I wasn’t sure of how the gameplay wo7ld be like because I never tried the series. But seeing this makes me feel like there’s so much to explore and discover while chilling!
I used to love endless ocean and blue world on wii and seeing this make a comeback on switch is just a dream come true, this game looks gorgeous
This trailer is literally nothing but almost four minutes of fish and honestly? I've so rarely been this hyped for a game... I missed this series so much... 😭✨
@@Personthatexists much like your brain
@@mightyfinecha Oof, gottem
This'll be a day one buy for me. I've always had a soft interest in the mysteries of the ocean and marine biology, and this looks and sounds genuinely therapeutic in all the right ways.
The original Endless Ocean was the first video game I ever really loved. I remember when I was really young I couldn’t play without my parents in the room with me because I was so scared something scary would sneak up on me, but it never did. The breathing sounds are totally ingrained in my mind, that hearing them here is almost nostalgic. I almost went to school for marine biology. I can’t say it was because of this series, but a game like this that let me explore the sea and its creatures without holding my hand or needlessly adding things to make it more exciting was a true dream come true to me. I hope that there are young people now who will get to have the same experience I did exploring the ocean on the Wii
It's still amazing to see Endless Ocean is back :) Just as relaxing as I remember.
I was pretty on the fence about this game but when I recognised a bunch of the fish are real fish species I’m definitely getting this game :3 (I’m autistic and obsessed with marine biology)
Real fish! Extinct creatures! As someone with a palaeontology degree I’m going to have so much fun. The first two games I loved so much, and there are marine biologists out there who started down that path because they loved the first two games that much.
@@user-kr5vm8nk1dI’m one of those people, granted college was a bit overwhelming so I’ll either be going back down the road or will pursue other ways to get into the field
This game is entirely based on real fauna. Even the legendaries are still based on real animals and real tales or legends.
@@Snitsky9 I’m glad that it seems variants in a species won’t count as their own entry in the encyclopedia, while a decent chunk of the legendaries in blue world were cool a larger portion were just already in game animals that were uniquely colored, so it seems the legendaries in this game will be a lot more unique, I got my fingers crossed that at least one of the untouchable bathysphere fish will be a legendary in this game, it would fit so perfectly.
Make sure you hunt down the other 2 games if you can. My AuDHD wife adored the original but Blue World was also good, just not as good for her anxiety. Finding out all of the creature facts and photographing them was so much fun.
Haven't played Endless Ocean before. This may be the perfect game to play this summer.
The Wii ones were very fun, you should try it.
Been one of my most wanted games for probably a decade now. Had given up on it ever coming back
2:01 i see ammonite and diplomoceras 2:05 Ancyloceras?, Psephoderma, Nautilus, Coelacanth 2:20 Megapiranha and....KOOLASUCHUS?!?!
🎉KOOLASUCHUS!!!!!🎉
If there's a Liopleurodon in this game I will explode.
@@GrandPaladinTyrux here's hoping!!!! We know there's at least one plesiosaur
@BigHugeFrog so far in the Endless Ocean franchise there are the Anomalocaris, Cameroceras, and a Plesiosaur all labeled as Legendary Creatures
@@GrandPaladinTyrux There is. In a recent screenshot shown by Nintendo of Europe a few days ago of an underwater temple/palace you can see what looks to be a Liopleurodon swimming by to the right of it.
The fact that this game has 30 player online is very impressive.
@@Personthatexists No, it couldn't.
Why?
@beastinator456 Because this game looks huge. This running 30 players online is way more impressive than something like F-Zero 99, which mostly uses 2D sprites.
I'll wait to see the performance before being hyped for 30 player, if the games runs to 20 fps cause of it there's no interest.
Thats a low bar @SaltyToad00
I'm so excited for this game! I thought we would never see another one after blue world, but I'm so glad I'm wrong
Looks like the grumps will have to dust off their scuba tanks and revisit one of the best series ever. Hopefully we see the return of 9-ball island.
And hopefully they'll follow the tutorial
Those playthroughs are some of their most magical. Welcome to Deep Hole. Beware of aggressive tiger sharks. They are half shark, half tiger. 🐧 it's a panda
WELCOME TO NINEBALL ISLAND. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW IT GOT THAT NAME
We call call him the Cyclops as long as you don't startle them you have nothing to WORRY ABOUT!!!
Help this game do well, and we might get to see L&L Diving Service in an HD remaster/port. ;)
All we need now is Hayley Westenra to make more music for the endless ocean return!!🥰🥰
Yess!! Her voice is so heavenly, I would love to see her sing for this game!
Or Celtic Woman
Let your arms enfold us!
You're a real one
Don't you mean Haley Easternr?
i just played abzu yesterday, and if this game's anything like that in terms of smooth, gratifying movement, freedom of exploration and interactivity with the surrounding world, i reckon i'll pick this up. considering it seems to be a part of a beloved series, i've got high hopes. :]
If it's like the 2 original games 15 years ago... trust me... is way better
Endless Ocean is like Abzu but add in gameplay. No longer is it just an "experience". Its an experience with structured story, collectibles, adventure, and what gives it the most weight to me imo is it feels like there is an actual purpose to play. Btw this is based off the last two games on the Wii which both had amazing stories and reason to scan and find every fish and dig for treasures. If this game lacks a proper story I can see it being pretty similar to a simple Abzu game
LET YOUR ARMS ENFOLD US 🗣️🗣️🗣️
THROUGH THE DARK OF NIGHT 🌃 🌃 🌃
*LET YOUR ARMS ENFOLD UUUUS~*
This game adds even more to the strength of the Switch: variety in games. Loving it.
can’t wait to play this, such a peaceful beautiful game
Me too~🌊
I'm happy to see that the updated store page has mentioned that this will have a proper story mode. Not that I believed Arika would abandon it, but maybe it'll finally calm down the naysayers to learn that. Oh, who am I kidding, people still think you're not selling physical copies.
Thank goodness, too. The combination of storytelling and a dive simulator is why this series is so special to its hardcore fans (such as myself). Most would put it off as just a dive sim (which might be why Blue World in particular might not have sold as well), and the ads generally make you think that’s all it is. The fact that the E-Shop is pointing out that it has a story mode might draw many would-be passers, and hopefully prove this series’ value. I haven’t checked the E-Shop page since around the time of the announcement trailer, so some things may have changed, but I do remember noticing the rating was only E rather than the E10+ that Blue World had. So, this story mode might not be as in depth as Blue World’s amazing story. That does also mean that, unfortunately (especially for the Mosasaur shown in the first trailer), there will be no aggressive creatures. Still really excited for this game, though. Blue World is still my favorite game ever and that’s after experiencing Mario 3D World, Mario Galaxy, both Jurassic World Evolution games, various Lego games, Star Wars the Old Republic, and Minecraft. Yes, EO:BW beats all of them, and it’s not even close. No matter how the story is, no matter if it has aggressive creatures or not, I will absolutely love Luminous because I already adore the series. I will keep saying this until it happens, but I hope Luminous does really well so that we don’t just get a 4th game but also ports/remasters of the first 2 games. It’s the series second chance at life, and I hope it thrives.
I read that, too. I'm super glad there's a story mode, but for me the most exciting part is the Veiled Sea area, which is different every dive, as well as the online challenges. This gives me hope for more longevity. Perhaps there could be new maps posted weekly/monthly by Nintendo along with online challenges/leaderboards for finding the most species, or the largest/smallest variations of specific species on that map, etc. The diver rank system also gives me hope for longevity. The first two games were great, but this one looks to be the best of them all. My only concern atm is that there hasn't been any indication of full avatar editing or "out of the water" sections. The customization options that were shown seem to be only changing the color of your dive suit, not the parts of the suit, and not your diver's other features. Still, in a game where I would likely spend 99% of my time underwater looking at fish and coral anyway, those other options aren't a huge deal. I can't wait.
So glad theres a story mode, as without it honestly speaking I would just go tell people to play Abzu or something. Games like this without stories just end up being "experiences"
Everblue 2, essentially Arika's diving series before Endless Ocean, is one of my favorite games of all time. Play it if you can!
I'm crying right now. I knew since the ND this was coming... but still. Endless Ocean and EO: Blue World are my favorite games. Year after year I've been waiting for a sequel. And now here it is 😭
The first two games are so close to my heart, they were one of the contributors to my pursuit of my now real marine biology career. Bought a Wii a few months ago just so I could play this game. To now see a third installment coming after years of playing the first two, my heart is so full
I still have the first 2 games and i'm still so happy that finally, a third Endless Ocean game gets to join them
I could make comments about how the sound design is 👌, liking the occasional animation jitter, the ominous beauty of the ruins, imaging the story told in the progressing life, how the trailer felt like a journey... But then I saw the crabs. They are the only thing that now matters.
I might need to buy this
Same.
Game Grumps gotta play this!
As someone who loves the ocean with a passion, it both brings me joy and makes me sad to see this game. Because the ocean in real life has become so trash-filled and deceased that almost nothing can live there anymore. Animal species are getting extinct left and right, all because of us humans. These days you can't find a single image or video that shows a healthy looking ocean. Unless we do something - and fast - to help the ocean, this video game "Endless Ocean Luminous" might very well be the only glimpse into what the ocean should look like. I look forward to playing the game, dreaming of a world that could have been if we humans weren't as horribly selfish as we are.
Unbelievably excited for this game... I never thought I'd get to see a new game from this series, let alone one with an extensive prehistoric roster!
An extensive roster period! 578 fish! Blue World had 342 or so.
I’m so excited for this.
I just hope to hear Hayley westenra’s voice while I dive again. My heart 😢
My mother loves this series I would watch her play it on the Wii and laugh at her when she gets surprised by the Goblin Shark popping up behind her lol. This will be her early birthday present for sure
This was a really great gameplay trailer! It reminded me of the Wii and 3DS era trailers where they just showed the actual game.
2:07 Coelacanth! COELACAAAAAAANTH!
The Real Diving Simulator. Endless Ocean is the Gran Turismo of Nintendo games
I can't wait to hear the music and rediscover this unique feeling of exploration
I am honestly so excited for this game. It's weird to say, but I really did grow up with Blue World. And I'm really excited to have a follow up in HD!
I'm really excited for this game! I loved playing the first one on the wii as a kid!
I spent many hours playing the Wii version, I'm so happy that there's going to be another one. Can't wait to play it.
I still play the first one on wii from time to time. Love this series!
Loved the first 2 games. Can't wait to dive in on this.
Looking forward to this! 😁
Okay but the MULTIPLE species of amonites in that under water castle has me SALIVATING at the prospect of there being paleo events where a region is just suddenly infested by extinct critters
This game is absolutely beautiful. I’ve already got the money saved up to buy this. Can’t wait. Hopefully this game gets a positive reception when it comes out. I never played the originals so this will be a really nice surprise for me and People forget that this game isn’t actually a remake. It’s actually a new entry into the endless ocean series.
Endless Ocean gives me so many chill vibes, I can't wait!
With every piece of new info that drops, I fall more in love! Genuinely, the Endless Ocean series has meant more to me than I can say (without sounding like a big sap, anyway) and I'm so deeply excited to come back home in exactly a month!
Why dont you go away spammer@@Personthatexists
@@Nibs08 I shoo him away
Beautiful 😮❤
Yeah, I think I need this just for the cozy vibes
Just hoping for a physical copy.....
They are out there; you can preorder them already (here in the UK at least)
Physical is confirmed!
I mean, it’s Nintendo, so of course there’s a physical release.
Yeah.... thanks fir the good news
Cannot wait. I loved the first two so much. The feeling of utter terror when you dive into the Abyss for the first time. Stroking all the fish to collect facts. I’m so happy. I have come to realise that my two favourite things in gaming are a) collecting all the things and b) uncovering the map. So long as this has that then I’m going to be so happy.
I love that endless ocean is making a return! Cant wait to play it!
So happy that we're finally getting another EO game after all these years 😄🐟
This looks gorgeous, I’m impressed with the graphics and solid designs, everything is so smooth.
This looks super relaxing but if I see a Basking Shark this guy gonna break so many underwater speed records trying to get away
Why? Basking sharks are big frens, they just want plankton
Get ready then because they were in the second game lol.
XD. I did the exact same thing when I first encountered the Basking Shark in EO2! It was almost the same exact size as Thanatos, same map, only a couple grid squares away from where you first encounter him AND where he normally appears, and nearly the same shape. I was even there for the Basking specifically, and I immediately forgot when the cutscene began. I also played EO1 after EO2, and Magu Tapa (who Thanatos is a mod of) made me so nervous for so long, even after I figured out that everything was docile in EO1. I bet it will be goblin sharks or caimans that spook me this time since I had gotten so used to their aggression in EO2, and the lack of dangerous creatures in Luminous will take a while to get used to.
Endless Ocean was my favorite game as a kid!!! It was so fascinating to explore the ocean with all the fish and treasure
Impressive how this game looks so nice on the switch !
Quando giocai per la prima volta con Endless Ocean per Wii rimasi completamente affascinato . Ho ancora l'acquario personale in forma e vitale...giocherò con immensa gioia con questa versione per Switch
Ain't no way. I haven't played one of these in a very long time.
Good old times watching skullkid3‘s let‘s plays, being terrified and amazed at the same time
Can’t wait to play this.
2:12 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
All I know is that sound track better be as legendary as Endless Ocean and Endless Ocean Blue World
So beautiful, so serene...
So happy this is coming back :)
This is just what I needed after finishing ABZU
I can't wait! I loved endless ocean and blue world on wii back in the day
Endless Ocean is my favorite game and I'm looking forward to it. I hope it will have the aquarium functionality it had before.
yeah the music's going all the way up for this game
I'm going get so emotional playing this game😭 I played the first two games when I was a kid very religiously❤ So it'll be nostalgic but something new at tge same time.
3:25 Look it's Dory
“Where is Padme?” “You killed her.” 0:33
This game looks so soothing
Show of hands y’all, who’s gonna bet The Anxiety will be amped up in the story? Because gosh darn did blue world’s story make my heart rate *spike* On the edge of my seat for this one!
I cannot wait to get this. 😭😭😭😭🥺 I remember playing Endless Ocean when I was younger and I've been looking for a game like it for years. I'm so freaking excited.
Cannot wait for this! I’m so excited! 🐠
Woohoo! Finally a new "endless ocean"!!
I hope there will be beautiful songs like in the previous games.
Words cannot even describe how excited I am for this game. I was only 6 the first time I played this game. My grandparents had gotten it for me and we spent countless hours playing it together. Now I’m 18 and history is about to repeat itself. My grandparents bought this game for me as a surprise graduation gift, and I already know we’re going to be spending lots of time playing it together once it arrives 😅❤️
Nintendo is the only company that can play sounds of the ocean and whale calls and make us hyped up for a videogame with it.
Ecco the Dolphin? Subnautica? Hello?
Well…that’s only because of the massive dedicated fan base that Endless Ocean has had since 2007 (yes, the series is that old). It combines what everyone would expect from a basic scuba diving simulator with storytelling and light RPG mechanics. I don’t know how Ecco was or when the last title came out, but I feel like the age of EO and its engaging story focus are what generate this hype. It’s a hype that is expected from the rebirth of such a great series.
I have been playing this series since the days it was called Aquanaut's Holiday. Everblue 2 was my #1 favorite game on PS2. I purchased the rarest PS3 game ever, which is the Korean-English version of Aquanaut's Holiday PS3. I will be picking up Endless Ocean Luminous DAY ONE. Thank you, Nintendo, for bringing us this incredible game in an incredible series in an incredible genre!
Very relaxing
LET YOUR ARMS ENFOLD US THROUGH THE DARK OF THE LIGHT WILL YOUR ANGELS HOLD US TIL WE SEE THE LIGHT
I love the various ocean exploration games that have or are coming out 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
I am SO glad there was no cheesy voiceover this time around.
I saw a coelacanth and i am hyped
They’re amazing creatures.🙂
I cried again. I cannot wait to play this game
0:02 I could listen to this for hours i can't wait to get the game
The graphics Looks so good for a Nintendo Switch Game 👍🏻
It’s a series staple. Both of the original games were pushing the limits for the Wii, and aside from vaguely blocky/pixelated models/graphics, even those still hold up well! And the loading times were not long at all, nor interruptive!
Looking great sea! 😊
