The official box art for the Japanese release of Forever Blue has just been unveiled. A few vague details were leaked earlier this month confirming the non-game will be exploration-based as you swim the ocean cataloging and photographing the sea life you encounter. With the little blue Wi-Fi logo, the box also confirms online multiplayer exploration. Although a North American or European release has not been mentioned, we're still filing this one under the "Japan gets all the cool boxes" category.

LAME: like most Wii games this one isn't even a game! Boy Exploring the oceans for grainy, pixelated fish, I can't wait!

WTF sheppy?
Anyways...
This game looks pretty cool even if it just a glorified pokemon snap. Maybe it's because I scuba dive, but I think it would pretty sweet to swim with a whale shark on a 43" plasma (even if the wii isn't high def).

In real life yes, in a video game... boring.
This game is actually just a port/rehash (big surprise) of an old PS2 game called "Everblue 2". Even the developers are the same (Arika).
Everblue 2 has a rating of 59/100 at Metacritic.

I was thinking more in the lines of a glorified Ecco The Dolphin, tho I believe that game was rather popular for Genesis

I would buy this game. It looks neat, and the Wii controls would be cool for it I bet.
Yeah, I said the word "neat." You don't like it? Go fuck yourself, buddy.

This looks like fun, and the graphics are not too bad considering it's for the DS ...
Wait, it's for the Wii..? BAAHHAHHA

You guys sure are funny, you can't judge an experimental game like this just because of a few screens and information, these kind of games you need to play to see if it blows or not.
I don't think the game would appeal to my tastes at all, but I'm not going to jump out screaming and shouting how shit it is without playing it. Anyone who does so, I feel is just trying to look cool and coming out looking more like an ass.

Last I heard, it was a port. Could be a sequel. But the first two were identical. I highly doubt this game series pulls a Dino Crisis 3.
Personally, I'll wait on reviews. Before I either write it off or hype it up...
Unless, of course, HOT DOLPHIN!

I wish the graphics were like the box art, Im sure that could be done if the developers would just pull their finger out!

This is not a port. That is like saying that since Halo 1 and 2 came out on Xbox that Halo 3 is a port from the original Xbox. Its ridiculous. Stop being a fanboy and recognize that this could be a good game. It even has online capability.

...demands someone with a name "SuperMario21". Uh oh.
Everblue and Everblue 2 were garbage, as witnessed by dozens of reviews. Forever Blue is pretty much the same game with waggle controls. Ok, maybe they'll do the trick (as usual) and we're looking at a 90+ game.

I wonder if this game draws any parallels to the N64 game Pokemon Snap? If so, so. very. bought.
For now, I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.

If anyone here has ever done scuba or snorkle in Hawaii, then you can imagine how cool this game could be. COULD.
