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.

The game is due to hit North America later this year as Endless Ocean. While I consider it a safe bet that broader American audiences will pay little attention to it, if Japan puts stock in Famitsu reviews, I think my prediction that the game will natively sell "trillions" is looking more and more likely.

The very definition of non-game, Endless Ocean—also known as Forever Blue in Japan—will immerse Wii owners in a world of fish, undersea mammals, and saltwater. Similar to Arika's previous undersea adventures, the Everblue series, you'll experience relaxing SCUBA-filled gameplay as you look for treasure, take photos and frantically rub dolphins. There's also an intense deathmatch mode involving a speargun and a bazooka that launches carnivorous fish. Alright, I made that last part up.

This clip shows the three commercials currently running in Japan for the Wii release—no deathmatch footage. I'm sure it will sell trillions.

I know some of you are going to say "Hey, Mike, that's not a big deal. Arika's version of Tetris lets you rotate and move pieces even after they've landed." My response? "Shut up. You couldn't do this." Totally insane block shuffling contained within this video. Michael McWhertor
