Like fishing? Like games with anime-inspired 3D graphics? Like resorts that have world class aquariums that the guests must fill themselves? Then check out Fishing Resort, a family friendly Nintendo Wii release from XSEED Games. You should now be able to pick up the game from a distributor of games near you, or import it if you live outside of North America – as unfortunately in Australia at least, it is very hit or miss with XSEED titles making their way over here.
FISHING RESORT is a fishing game that takes place on a large tropical paradise and uses the Wii Remote to mimic the action of casting and the Nunchuk for reeling. After customizing the appearance of his/her avatar, the player is free to do as they wish, whether it be checking the resort’s bulletin board for daily activities and contests, participating in any of the over 20 fishing-related mini-games, or go trolling the high seas on a charter boat in search of really big game such as giant swordfish. Despite being an island, this paradise offers lakes, streams, and even ice fishing high in the mountains, in addition to the deep and shallow sea fishing that’s sure to keep the casual and hardcore fishing fans alike coming back for more as they try to catch the over 200 varieties of fish available.
