After witnessing the fine art of fishing inTwilight Princessand then getting a taste of what the experiencecould be likeon Nintendo’s hardware, it was only a matter of time before somebody released yet another fishing game for the Wii. Thanks toAksys Games, you’ll be able to put those childhood skills of yours (you did go outside at one time, didn’t you?) to good use using the Wiimote.
EB Games has the game listed on theirWeb sitefor $59.99, and it’s slated for a September 3rd release. So why the extra $10 for a Wii game, you ask? Well it seems thatHooked: Real Motion Fishingcomes with a controller — or more like some sort of Wiimote/Nunchuck encasing, if you look at the picture closely. Nonetheless, the game promises to enthrall you with six different realistic lakes in which you can try your hand at reeling in the big one.
If the three single-player modes start to get blasé,Hookedpromises the chance to take your tackle box to greater heights with Wi-Fi enabled multiplayer fun. Hit the jump for the full details from the press release.
Hooked! Real Motion Fishing Features:
3 exciting single-player gameplay modes!Hone your skills in Practice or Time Attack mode. Then take on Tournament mode to see if you can become the next world champion!
Now you can ridicule your elders when they talk about how they had to walk several miles to school in the snow, without shoes. Well maybe not, but you can tell politely tell them that all that expensive fishing equipment is hardly necessary with modern technology. Armed with a Wiimote, you may never need to go outside again — well, at least not to go fishing.
