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.

The graphics look pretty crap. I think this series is more suited to the DS - if they started putting some effort into it!

Judging for the images above it seems we can eat the lemur/cat thing.

Nice to know that Konami let their work-experience boy develop their games. He must have had a spare afternoon.

Seriously, the complete lack of effort on show here is insulting. It looks about 10 years out of date!

This looks bad for even N64 standards.

It'd look pretty good for a DS game.....maybe it's for WW?
I really can't see it selling all that well if this is anything even similar to the final result. The DS version wasn't even that much fun....

Definitely the idea to bring Lost in Blue to Wii is good and with motion-sensitive controllers it will be even more interesting, realistic and fun to play.
