That Forever Blue bug made everything, well, suck. When shark rays are added to the underwater aquarium, the game emits a loud BUZZING noise that doesn’t exactly jive with the smooth sea experience. Nintendo has come to the rescue and is offering consumers the chance to exchange their bug infested copy for a deloused one. Yamato messengers will swing by residences to exchange bad-for-good copies on August 21st, which is among other things, my birthday. I will be 29 years old, and Japanese Forever Blue owners will be happy. Delightful! Forever Blue Exchange Program [Nintendo] More »
If you haven’t quite wrapped your noodle around what Arika’s Forever Blue for the Wii is yet, this extended gameplay clip might shed some light. As you can see, it’s all in Japanese, as the Western version (Endless Ocean) won’t be released for months. Despite it’s high Famitsu rating, I have a hard time believing this is going to be a purchase for me personally.
For a Wii title, non-game Forever Blue (Endless Ocean in the West) sure looks purdy. Too bad, it’s apparently buggy as hell and freezing up Japanese Wiis like crazy! Threads are popping up crazy claiming that when shark rays are added to the underwater fish tank, the game locks up and freezes 100 percent. Even if only one is added, the game freezes. A damn shame that.
