Retro_Link Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The news of a Wii version was announced a while ago http://www.cubed3.com/news/9945/ Lost in Blue Lands on Wii Konami have confirmed recent rumours of the Lost in Blue series heading from DS to Wii. The company have updated the official Lost in Blue product page with an addition for the Wii (Survival Kids in Japan). Siliconera reports that there'll be support for two players and some form of online play. First images: More images: http://www.jeux-france.com/news27137_images-lost-in-blue-wii.html Does look pretty aweful! Konami support for the Wii has been abit lackluster really! Apart from Pro Evo!

Jamba Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 DS ones were meant to be shit as well. What's with the cartoony presentation? Looks bland and uninspiring. Not expecting much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathjam Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Wow. My graphical standards are pretty low as I thought it looked ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrocasilva Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 wow, did they do imagegrabs out of composite signal or something? that's nuts EDIT: looks pretty crap, the water reminds me of Perfect Dark and some Dreamcast games; this said... the game has detailed shadows, something that other "without effort" stuff like Tales of Symphonia lack. So I don't think it is a new low... but low nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Wow. My graphical standards are pretty low as I thought it looked ok Characters do look alright although VERY dull but look at the environments DJ. The one with the sea in the background is just totally unacceptable. I've seen better texturing on the DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Konami support for the Wii has been abit lackluster really! Apart from Pro Evo! Konami only support lineup these days is basically MGS4, a bunch of casual/non-games, sports, with a DS Castlevania thrown in every other year.

Shino Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 One thing is making it appeal to an audience that doesn't ask graphical flare, the other is this. They're trying to be shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to be shit!Well, if you look at Tales of Symphonia 2 they're making it appeal to a audience that ask for it and still trying to be shit; so these are a little better IMO.

yesteryeargames Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 i reckon wii ware, but gameplay is always more important than graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I thought Lost in Blue could be good on Wii, but looking at the screenshots has pretty much cancelled out any potential hype I had. The characters do look cool and creative, but the scenery looks too bland, boring and dodgy in the same way that Pitfall on Wii does. I still think iLost in Blue is a concept that would work well in a Wii game, but more effort should be put into the graphics please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren of Heavens Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Konami have released more information detailing Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked, scheduled to be released for the Nintendo Wii around spring this year. "The Lost in Blue series débuts on a new platform for the first time ever with Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked (working title). Experience a survival adventure like never before through colourful 3D graphics and the uniquely interactive capabilities of the Nintendo Wii. You find yourself stranded on a mysterious island filled with lush forests, a sunken ship, ancient ruins, and an active volcano. With the help of a trusty pet and a new friend, you’ll explore the mysteries of the island to find a way out or make a new life for yourselves there forever." Features: * The first console version of the series greatly upgrades the visual quality and depth of the game, immersing the player in a survival adventure like never before. * Vibrant 3D graphics paint the island environment, weather systems, and various items as more life-like than ever. * Full use of Wii-mote and Nunchuk controls allow you to experience realistic movements with a variety of mini-games including fishing, carpentry, fire-making and more. * An island tutorial and a greater focus on exploration enhances the accessibility and fun factor for new players. * Dependable pets improve item gathering and provide entertainment by playing music or dancing with you. * Recruit a friend for over 40 mini-games, including new, cooperative games – the better you play, the bigger your reward.

Dyson Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 It's a shame this looks as poor as it does; it was great fun on the DS. That said, I was constantly surprised they kept remaking this game, as it wasn't very popular, and yet there were 3 DS games (LIB1/2/3). I guess someone somewhere likes it. LIB2 was the best though imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
