Show Skin: This Is How You Sell A Wii Fishing Game

[gamer]

Fishing is slow, boring even. The same probably goes for Wii fishing game Bass Fishing Wii. Just look at those screens — DULL. Fishing's only fun in Animal Crossing, and Japanese people don't even eat bass! According to Japan-Fishing.com:

Japanese people like fish dishes, but most do not eat bass, for these are foreign fish and not familiar with us. Bass is killed and thrown away. Though Buddha may forgive us for killing and eating, killing and not eating is a massacre. I feel pity. I will eat bass for their salvation.
​

There ya go! Heck, we doubt that even the Wii-mote can liven up a virtual fishin' hole. No wonder the game's publisher dragged in former race queen model Chisato Morishita to lure (geddit?) would-be-fishermen. The game has six stages in all and takes players to locations like the Grand Canyon. It's also possible to have fishing battles via Nintendo's online service. Yippie, fishing battles. Sounds so... boring.
