Nintendo themed weddings? There are two sayings that come to mind:
1) There is someone out there for everyone.
2) Geeks need love too.
So, for all of you sitting in your parents basement, all flabby, pale and generally sickly looking - there is hope. Enjoy these wonderful Nintendo themed wedding all lovingly collected by your friends at My Wii News. Yes, there is more out there and I have tried to collect only the creme-de-la-creme, if such a term can be used to describe these photos. Anyways, if you find any other good ones - send them along and we will happily add them to the collection.

Endless Ocean is a diving simulation game, allowing players to float their way through the pristine waters of fictional Manoa Lai Island. With no time limits, point systems or possibility of failure, it’s a pick-up-and-play ‘game’ for the entire family to enjoy.
As mentioned in our top 10 games of 2008 list, this underwater exploration game is scheduled to be released at the end on January. The game has already been released and well recieved in Europe, as well as Japan where it is known simply as ‘Forever Blue ‘. Starting out on a boat in the middle of ocean, the game sees you playing as a diver researching aquatic life by swimming alongside fish, offering them bait and taking photographs. Using the Wii Remote, you guide your diver through increasingly deep waters, discovering strange and more beautiful sea creatures.
For players really looking to kick back and relax Endless Ocean features several soothing modes. One can simply chill out on the deck of the boat is a deckchair that allows the player to sit and watch the sea. Alternately, players can select fish they have seen and add them in an aquarium for a closer inspection. While little is known, one of the screenshots below clearly illustates a dolphin in the act of being trained to preform tricks. This game even doubles up as a tranquil screensaver if the Wii Remote is left untouched and the relaxed setting of the game itlself is further heightened with a tranquil soundtrack from new-age artist Hayley Westenra.
If players prefer to dive with a buddy, the Wii’s unique Nintendo WiFi Connection Service allows players link up with their friends. In co-op mode friends have access to all the tools that can be used in single player mode, as well as an additional mode of communication. With a fish logbook to complete, items to be salvaged and collected and the ability to listen to your own music while you dive, Endless Ocean is sure to provide hours of entertainment.
While there is little doubt that Endless Ocean will not appeal to all gamers, a loyal fanbase is sure to be established here, as it has already in Japan and Europe. While Endless Ocean may blur the boundaries between ‘game’ and ‘experience’, it sounds like there could be far worse ways to spend a cold Sunday - or perhaps all of them. Happy diving!
ADDITIONAL SCREENSHOTS:

In what can only be perceived as an effort to capture the Home and Garden Channel audience Majesco’s upcoming Wii exclusive title Our House will allow players to build their very own house. From nailing 2×4s together to laying down the carpet you’ll be able to finally create that virtual homestead you’ve always dreamed about but never had the proper Wii tools to build. I’d call foul on this game instantly for making you do a lot of work without anything to show off but, in what is becoming a more regular feature as it should have been from launch, Our House will will be online with a “Neighborhood Mode” that will allow gamers to show off their virtual abodes. Add to this an online “build-off” mode, which I can only imagine will be like Iron Chef but on a house sized scale, and you’ve got what sounds like a game that could really take off in a weird internet corner of the world.
Don’t hold your breathe though, the game isn’t launching until holiday of 2008 so we all have some time before we can see who is truly the greatest carpenter of all time, you know, aside from that Christ guy.
