Anyone else excited about Endless Ocean?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21561.html

This might be the first Wii game I pick up since Zelda on launch day. (It's only $29!)

^ I think I'll be getting 2 copies, one for my mother, so she and my daughters can explore together whenever they want.

Brent L 12-20-07 12:47 PM

I'll be picking it up. It looks like a great way to relax and play games at the same time.

That music on the trailer was mesmerizing... so I looked it up... it's from Hayley Westenra's Odyssey CD and the song is called "Prayer."

Just ordered one from Amazon too (Nyko Perfect Shot). They also have Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles for $35 and Ghost Squad for $20 if anyone wants more light gun games or wants to pad an order for free shipping (which will unfortunately come after the holidays).

Thanks! I just put in a order for RE:UC. I already picked up GS for $20 using Best Buy's $10 off $29.99 coupon from a couple weeks back. Looking forward to House of the Dead 2 & 3 coming early next year also. Still hoping for a Virtua Cop or Point Blank collection someday.

drmoze 12-20-07 04:05 PM

Thanks! Just ordered RE:UC. The price had gone up yesterday when I first saw this deal, then was back down today. Already have Ghost Squad and love it. In fact, I may post a gripe thread about the various reviews saying GS is "too short"--very misleading.

BTW, although the Perfect Shot looks good and apparently has a firmer trigger than the Zapper (and I might still buy a PS), the Zapper can also be used for other gun games quite well. All you have to do is *not* insert the nunchuk into the Zapper, and just hold it in your other hand. (Duh!) The Zapper gives you the gun grip and trigger for the wiimote, and is a bit counterbalanced with the rear frame portion. But you can use the nunchuk independently for games like MOH, etc., which don't require much use of the top wiimote buttons. Just like the Perfect SHot. Plus, you have the coupled option as well.

I have also seen a Wii gun model on some Asian sites which has a removable small bracket that the nunchuk fits into, and which can attach to the rear of the wiimote gun frame. You can use this one as a dual-handled gun like the Zapper, or simply slide off the nunchuk part and also get the same functionality as the Perfect Shot.

Brent L 12-20-07 05:01 PM

I can't wait to hear what you guys think of the Perfect Shot.

ChrisHicks 12-20-07 05:14 PM

bummer, Ghost Squad is 30.00 again. :( atleast I got in on the RE:UC price just now.

fujishig 12-20-07 05:40 PM

I bought the Perfect Shot as more of a second player lightgun in addition to the Zapper, but I realize I don't even know if these games are multiplayer...

RE:UC supports 2-player co-op and Ghost Squad supports 4-player co-op.

Ordered the Nyko gun and Ghost Squad thanks to the deal you posted. :thumbsup:

I was able to pick up Ghost Squad at Target B&M for $12.46, obviously YMMV, but it seemed to be part of a new holiday display in the electronics department.

Sounds like it was on clearance?

Thanks for the heads-up! That will be my first Wii game bought as a gift for the gf. We've been diving together, but not in a while. I think she might like this game, and it looks very cool to me. Reviews have been good from what I've seen, apart from the folks who don't understand the concept of "different" gaming experiences. (Whaddayamean, you can't blow up the whales with a powered-up Mark 7 Spear Gun??!?!?!? :lol: )

Michael Corvin 12-21-07 10:52 AM

I've posted numerous times about Endless Ocean. I can't wait. I'm always down for something different.

I still have my $25 gift card from TRU's Mario Galaxy promo. $5 Endless Ocean, here I come. :D

The Bus 12-21-07 11:22 AM

Alright, I went into Toys "Я" Us yesterday with the intent of buying Link's Crossbow Training and Zack and Wiki as gifts. Completely forgot about the Buy 3, Get 4th Free sale. I mentally re-grouped my gift ideas and decided to buy more games, and get Metal Slug Anthology for myself, for free.

Here's the problem: I was stricken by fear and don't know if I picked up the "right" games. My idea was to get something for my brother that my dad might enjoy and something for my sister that my mom might enjoy.

I bought My Word Coach and Fishing Master. Looks like both of these have less-than-stellar reviews.

I can basically replace these with a $50 game and a $40 or less game.

The replacements can't be anything complicated (so Tomb Raider is out, for example). Any ideas... or should I keep these?

orangecrush 12-21-07 11:59 AM

What about Big Brain Academy or Cooking Mama?

If you have a Circuit City nearby, check them for Metal Slug as it is clearanced at $16.99.

Big brain academy is good like the above user mentioned. I hated Cooking Mama though. It's one of those games I would only pickup if it drops to $10.

Ocelot 12-21-07 12:09 PM

^^ DS titles... should really worth $20 or less....

That's exactly how much I bought Cooking Mama for :)

Ha! So do I. This is definitely something I may get with it.

I completely forgot I still had that card.

Are you the same guy from CAG forum who posted this but stated it may have been an as is returned item?

Seems odd no one else can confirm this price.

The Bus 12-25-07 06:38 AM

I ended up keeping Fishing Master. We played for about half an hour. The gameplay is not perfect but it's pretty good.

I ended up switching My Word Coach for a DDR game. That went over well.

I'm going to pick up a charger for my (2) Wiimotes in the next few days. Is there a model everyone recommends or are they all pretty much the same?

Are you referring to a charging station with rechargeable battery packs? Just note that some packs are bigger than the stock wii cover, and may not fit in accessories like the zapper or GH3 guitar.
