SEGA BASS FISHING COMING TO Wii

Bait Your Hooks and Catch Some Bass In SEGA’s Upcoming Fishing Game

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (October 8, 2007) – SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe, Ltd today announced SEGA Bass Fishing™ for the Wii™, the latest addition to one of the most successful fishing game franchises of all time. With content developed exclusively for the Wii, SEGA Bass Fishing will be released in early 2008.

SEGA Bass Fishing is back and better than ever returning with all-new intuitive controls utilizing the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™. With over 20 different types of lures to choose from, gamers can cast off using the Wii Remote to try and land one of four different types of freshwater bass. SEGA Bass Fishing also offers gamers the freedom to select time-of-day and season during play which impacts the activity of the fish, their appetite, and their depth. When players hook a big one, they can use the motion sensor to reel it in! Featuring 15 beautifully designed lake environments, SEGA Bass Fishing has four fun-filled game modes including Arcade, Tournament, Practice and Nature Trip modes.

This looks like the same rehashed fishing game that was on the Dreamcast years back. Pretty lame. Especially in an already bloated genre on the Wii.

ugh..those screens make me wanna bang my head against a cactus repeatedly

Azure, don't give out such brilliant ideas to SEGA.

This is just like Samba de Amigo coming to Wii: a no-brainer. Just like Samba, Sega doesn't have to make another fishing controller with the Wii perfectly capable of emulating it. Too bad it's just not as exciting as it was back in 1999 and as wiizel says, there's already plenty of fishing going on on the Wii.

Are there any good fishing games on Wii though? If so what are they?

GRRR... SEGA could at least come out with a reel attachment. I'm disappointed.

Not even.

I could never be arsed to mess with fishing in TP. What I did play of it was not as much fun as the fishing in Ocarina.

Reel fishing and lure fishing were totally different in Twilight Princess. Lure fishing was horrible and annoying. Reel fishing was awesome. I'm sure Sega Bass Fishing will be similar to Zelda, but I'd still rather they stuck a reel at the bottom of the Wiimote.

Hmm.

Love how the brain works, eh?

Twilight Princess = 7.9, confirmed.

NWR needs to adjust their reviews to reflect REALITY, yes sir.

Here is a new fishing game for wii:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooked!_Real_Motion_Fishing


It is developed by the same team that did the original Sega Bass Fishing, the reviews that I have read (I dont speak Japanese) seem to be pretty positive. Its online, and comes with a reel. Not be plug it too much, but has anyone else heard much about this one? Seems like the one with the most potential out there.

So far the fishing games on the wii are really weak, are there any good ones?
