It looks like Endless Ocean 2 will hit Japan on September 17th, as multiple retailers are listing it with that date. We’ll have to wait awhile longer in North America, but at least we can enjoy these screens while we wait.

“Currently, no, but we would like to see the reaction of the western market when we release the game on Wii.” – Producer Ryota Niitsuma
I’m sure the game will have a good chance of going to other platforms, but through digital distribution. You can be sure that the game will jump the Wii ship if it doesn’t sell well to begin with.

“It will be up to Warner Bros. to determine how they will approach their branding strategy.” – Midway rep
I hope we still see Midway Games at least on the game box. They’re going to be the development work, their logo and name needs to be recognized.

“The game is already successful with us as the reviews have been pretty impressive. Overall the reviews have been strong, and though there will always be some naysayers we definitely feel we have been able to offer gamers the Wii experience we were looking for. Though it is still early days in the retail life of the game, we are seeing very strong week one sales and being the best shooter on the Wii means that we think we will see this game out there and selling well for a long time.” – SEGA’s vice president of marketing, Sean Ratcliffe
Well, that’s absolutely fantastic news! Let’s hope that the subsequent weeks continue to pull in big numbers. I wonder if things are big enough to get The Conduit onto NPD overall top 10.
