I can still distinctly remember going to that pool planet in Honeyhive Galaxy with the crystal blue water and the lily pads for the first time and just thinking "If I could go anywhere in the universe, it would be here"

When I saw the new Wuhu Island I thought to myself “Damn pollution really messed up the water”

I’m surprised Kingdom Hearts’ Destiny Islands weren’t mentioned in the memorable beaches segment as it’s what I think of when I hear “Early 2000’s Beach levels”. The island was vibrant, with rundown wooden structures and tall stone cliffs that I still remember vividly in my head.

The absence of Besaid from Final Fantasy X is tragic

the beach just has that "vibe" about it, that when its in the right setting or in the right moment it just has that indescribable feeling that we truly never forget

definitely my favourite aesthetic that nintendo has out of all of them, brings me peace everytime i play

What made Wuhu Island so immersive, was that it wasn’t just in Wii Sports Resort (truly one of my favorite games of all time) but also Wii Fit Plus and Pilot Wings Resort. The island felt like a staple of Nintendo games and I’m a bit sad, that they didn’t just stick with it. It was that perfect.

"Why is he green?"

Because he's a creation of Bowser Jr.'s paint brush.

Gotta say I love that tropical/frutiger aero look those locations have!

With how dull the new Wuhu island looks I think it should be called Buhu island.

What I love about the beaches in Final Fantasy X and Yakuza 3 is that their settings emphasize the small moments of peace the main characters get to have. Another RB77 banger.

not only these games, but other adult-ish PC/console games did it too: Far Cry, Crysis, Tropico, Just Cause, Test Drive Unlimited, Tony Hawk Pro Skater (parts), Assassins Creed 4, and Dead or Alive among others all had this tropical beach aesthetic too.

The entire southern coast of Hyrule from Breath of the Wild, especially Lurelin Village, is one of my favourite beach areas from games.

The silent cartographer in Halo is a good example, though pretty different compared to the others in this video, I love how it has a very dream like feeling and the colors are muted to give it that feeling, in the remake the level feels kinda like a beach you would see in a nintendo game.

14:33 Go Vacation mentioned!!! I absolutely love this game it's one of my favourites from my childhood. And I absolutely agree the marine resort has always made me feel so peaceful and happy it's one of my favourite beach locations in video games

Go Vacation was my top childhood game, I spent so many hours on there and it always felt so comfy to me, especially the beach area, it really felt like we lived in that world.. looking back it makes me feel so nostalgic, I wish I could experience it for the first time again
