Nintendo Confirms EU Endless Ocean Date

After initial rumours, Nintendo Europe has confirmed the release date for Endless Ocean 2 on Wii.

Enter into a new marine adventure as you explore uncharted underwater realms brought beautifully to life in the stunningly realistic Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep, which launches on Wii across Europe on 5th February, 2010. The game offers six new ocean locations to explore. Plunge into the icy Arctic waters or explore the sunken wrecks in the Aegean Sea and for the first time, venture into rivers such as the mysterious Brazilian Amazon, to discover a vast array of freshwater wildlife. For the first time you can even step ashore onto dry land to explore birds and other non-aquatic wildlife. Your diving missions will include helping maintain coral reefs, riding on dolphins and swimming with humpback whales. You will be equipped with new tools to aid in your encounters. The Pulsar gun will be required to repel any unexpected encounters with predators of the deep but will also allow you to heal any sick creatures you may discover on your quest.

As well as the mesmeric and relaxing underwater scenery to enjoy, you can locate precious artefacts using your Treasure Detector, act as a diving escort, take photographs for nature magazines - building your diving skills and opening up new challenges as you go. As you explore, you can complete missions and solve mysteries before moving on to a new area. The game offers single and multiplayer modes and using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection you can link to another player's Wii and explore each other's oceans and rivers. Using Wii Speak, you can share your encounters, marine missions and swim with your fellow explorers.

With its realistic and beautiful graphics, Endless Ocean 2 offers a whole new world of discovery, with a fun range of gaming missions you will begin by dipping your toe in and then want to dive straight in and immerse yourself. It is the perfect catch and launches across Europe on Wii on 5th February, 2010.
