Forever Blue is an upcoming video game for the Wii^[1]. It will be published by Nintendo, and developed by Arika. So far, not much information is known about the game, though screen shots and videos suggest that the game will take place in the ocean, where the players character will encounter under-water animals such as whale sharks, manta rays and other marine animals. The game will feature Wi-Fi play, allowing for several players to dive together. It is scheduled to be released in 2007.

It should be noted that developer Arika has also released Everblue and Everblue 2 both for the Playstation 2. Both titles featured very similar gameplay that has been shown in the released media of 'Forever Blue', revolving heavily around SCUBA Diving in search of underwater treasure, as well as photography. These games however, are both played from a first person perspective, while it looks like this game will largely utilize a third-person perspective.

New clips of the game were shown in a new trailer for upcoming Wii games, with the diver swimming around a coral reef. A fish that was swimming in the reef was seen close-up in a first person view. The graphics seemed to be improved compared to older clips, while the game tries to present marine life in a more realistic manner.
