Okay, so here’s the thing. Ever just have one of those dreams where you’re a dolphin? No? Just me? Alright then. Anyway, this game—Ecco the Dolphin, remember that one? Yeah, it’s like this cult classic thing that people are holding out for. Kind of like waiting for rain in a drought or the right avocado, you know? Apparently, there’s some buzz about a remaster or whatever, but man, fans are just itching to glide in the ocean. But, let’s be honest, anyone who’s played it knows: you’ll probably smash a few controllers before you get anywhere. And yet—plot twist—I’ll never actually be a dolphin. Bit of a life letdown there.
Now, here’s a quirky little tidbit straight from the creator dude, Annunziata. He figured, “Why not live like a dolphin?” Makes sense, I guess. Like, dolphins are pretty much the philosophers of the sea, right? He told Xbox Wire something about it and mentioned that dolphins are like, the smart version of whales or something along those lines. Who would’ve thought!
Crazy part is, Annunziata thinks gamers are these mega-brain creatures with enough love to save the world. Which, hey, maybe? And he’s all about getting people to care about the ocean. Is it weird that I find that oddly inspiring? Like, this idea about being connected to the sea for generations, learning its secrets… kinda like a sci-fi fantasy except totally real. It’s sorta beautiful.
So, here we are. Some remaster thing is happening with Ecco and the gang. No actual dates. Just another dream on the horizon, I suppose. But hey, maybe keep your flippers crossed.
