Shipwrecked with more screens
If you could take only one item with you to a deserted island, what would it be? If you answered Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked, that's pretty funny. The "only one item" rule prohibits taking a Wii with you to play it on -- not to mention the whole lack of electricity thing.Take a look at the latest screens in the gallery and make your choice. Is this really the game you'd want to have with you? You can shear sheep, watch your pets put on a show and even do some skipping. Not the most productive tasks when stranded, but it can't be all hunting and gathering.%Gallery-22949%
Lost in Blue to wash ashore this fall
Blurry English screens were a big indication that Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked! was being localized outside of Japan, and Konami already announced a fall target for the game in North America. The company recently offered a European projection as well, though. Apparently, PAL nations (perhaps not Australia) can expect Shipwrecked! in the fall, too, along with the third title in the DS series.Famitsu also has some new screens for the game, which may not be blurry but definitely don't live up to the Wii's graphical powers. As for the gameplay, the images give you a sense of what kind of survival activities Lost in Blue will demand from you, and reveal a cute mouse-like creature that the castaways seem to befriend. Just click on past the break if you'd like to take a look. Gallery: Lost in Blue
Lost in Blue changes consoles
Gamefly hinted a few months back that Lost in Blue was jumping ship to the Wii -- a rumor that has now been confirmed for Japan.Konami announced the game by adding it to the Survival Kids list on the company's Japanese website (Survival Kids is the title of the series in Japan). Spencer Yip from Siliconera informs us that the game will have a multiplayer option and offer some sort of online component, but other than that, little is known.We're sure this game could be a good fit for the Wii, as long as Konami doesn't go overboard with the waggle. There's a lot of survival activities that the Wiimote could work well for, though, so we're willing to wait and see how this one pans out.[Via Siliconera]
