Guy Legend · (10-05-2007, 05:07 PM)

Yes. Go Sega!

Ronin · (10-05-2007, 05:07 PM)

The only fishing game I ever gave a shit about.

..pakbeka.. · (10-05-2007, 05:08 PM)

I would be excited, if it wasn't being made by SEGA

plagiarize · (10-05-2007, 05:09 PM)

my wife is going to be really excited.

she just had this uncanny knack for the sega fishing games on the Dreamcast. she kicked the ass of the guy who's dreamcast it was every time they played.

ram · (10-05-2007, 05:09 PM)

pictures and btw. it uses the wiimote and the nunchack

VOOK · (10-05-2007, 05:10 PM)

Yeah that looks exactly like the Dreamcast game.... wtf

levious · (10-05-2007, 05:15 PM)

You shut your whore mouth, where is Segata when you need him, Judo throw please! :P

Which means it automatically looks better than any other fishing game on Wii, I'll take it.
(And remember, 6 months to release, they can tighten up the graphics a bit before then)

Deacan · (10-05-2007, 05:16 PM)

Awesome, wonder if we will get the option of using a rod again?

temjin · (10-05-2007, 05:18 PM)

fuck yeah! i've been wanting a sequel for ages, and wii is PERFECT!

sports game of the forever. or something.

StarEye · (10-05-2007, 05:19 PM)

Not the smarted thing in the world to release a fishing game around the same time as the (real) fishing season starts, is it? I mean, it's basically people who have fishing as a hobby who would buy this, isn't it? And in spring, they just go out and fish for real, don't they? Would be much smarter to release late summer/autumn, to have a substitute for real fishing in the winter.

Yeah I thought the guys that did SEGA fishing were doing Hooked?

Duke Togo · (10-05-2007, 05:21 PM)

Day 1 purchase, but only if they make a new version of the original Sega fishing rod controller. Fuck the wiimote/nunchuck for fishing! How the hell are you going to reel a fish in, waggle it to death?

You're joking... Right? Have you seen Twilight Princess?

or maybe Sega of Europe is publishing Hooked as Sega Bass Fishing? Sucks if europe has to wait six months for it.

Timbuktu · (10-05-2007, 05:26 PM)

Is this not a port by SIMS, who did the original port from arcade to Dreamcast? I don't think they have anything to do with Sega anymore.

No, thats a Wii only additon though, the option to club the fish to death using gestures!*

*No, I do not condone the torture of fish, I enjoy fishing and always use a catch and release policy.

temjin · (10-05-2007, 05:29 PM)

funny, i use the catch and eat policy. should try it :P

Wrong fish for that, I partake in Coarse fishing, haven't ever done any fly fishing for anything remotely edible (Trout, Salmon etc), :)

marc^o^ · (10-05-2007, 05:39 PM)

Ok. Sega is officially back.

Wildstar75 · (10-05-2007, 05:46 PM)

YES! ENJOY YOUR FISHING!

aww...small one!

-WindYoshi- · (10-05-2007, 05:50 PM)

Great! But isn't SIMS working on Hooked! right now?
Here's hoping they are helping Sega out with this one.

game phan · (10-05-2007, 05:52 PM)

multi player "xbox live like" in the ad it states wi fi

thanks in advance

I'm betting it's the 2 DC games ported and combined by a western studio (with some additional content sprinkled on top). More or less like what Gearbox is doing for Samba Wii.

PkunkFury · (10-05-2007, 06:22 PM)

this seems like a cash-in port. Isn't there a brand new game being made by the same team with Wi-fi and a fishing controller??

twinturbo2 · (10-05-2007, 06:23 PM)

I was wondering why there weren't any fishing sims for the Wii. Well, that niche is filled. :D

How in God's name do we know this based on a blurb in Nintendo Power? I mean, you could be right, but it seems a stretch to call it an enhanced port based on knowing nothing about the game.

purg3 · (10-05-2007, 06:30 PM)

BASS GET!!

I was wondering when this was going to be announced. Seems like a perfect fit for the Wii. I still have 2 working fishing rods for the DC. Such a fun game.

why did you get two? Wanted a backup?

stilgar · (10-05-2007, 06:33 PM)

Disappointing. Graphically below everything...unless Sega is a new shovelware company?

ghostmind · (10-05-2007, 06:35 PM)

Someone PLEASE make a good fishing game for the Wii - the console is pratically designed for it...

I dunno . . . the fact that it took them a year to figure out that it might be good idea to make that awesome dreamcast game for the Wii is a bit worrisome. They probably only made the decision because lots of fans like you contacted them and asked them why hadn't they made it yet.

Yes indeed. I bet this "brand-name" cash-in will suck.

Yeah, I got the second one on the cheap when Sega Marine Fishing came out.

Vic · (10-05-2007, 07:11 PM)

It's a port+extras of the DC/Naomi ver. ?

I'm hoping for at least one fishing game gem from the Wii. As you've said, the remote is made for that genre. I'll be fucking dissapointed if we never saw one.

mr stroke · (10-05-2007, 08:22 PM)

DAMN you sega!!!!
give us an HD Bass fishing on 360/ps3 with photo realistic graphics, a pack in controller, and online play
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A career mode with online fishing tournaments would be excellent.

IzumiK · (10-05-2007, 11:15 PM)

Had to happen. That Brando fishing stick for Wiimote wasn't going to sell itself.

In before people say it looks like Dreamcast. Actually these pics look alot better then the Dreamcast version. Sega most have started alot of Wii projects like the rumor said awhile back.

GDGF · (10-05-2007, 11:25 PM)

When the hell did Sega get smart again? This is kinda surprising to say the least.

mikekennyb · (10-05-2007, 11:28 PM)

I'm waiting for the superior and inevitable Dreamcast 2 version.

Beaten.

While I've never understood the appeal of fishing anything non-edible I welcome another addition to Wiis roster of games. It looks nice enough, and it seems to have a following. Something's up at Sega recently, they're starting to make sense again.

Just a hunch... seems to be the pattern we're seeing for SEGA's "revived in the west" DC era franchise handouts. Basically like what happened to Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis on PSP, I'd just expect something pretty similar for Samba and Get Bass.

Wii doesn't get new games.
