HUDSON ENTERTAINMENT’S FISHING
MASTER WORLD TOUR CAN NOW BE CAUGHT
Players Will Be Hooked On First
Global Fishing Game For Wii
Hudson Entertainment, the North
American publishing arm for HUDSON SOFT, announced today FISHING MASTER WORLD
TOUR is now available at retail for an SRP of $29.99. A sequel to the popular
FISHING MASTER, FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR is published by Hudson Entertainment
for North and South America.
Staying true to the first version’s
realistic controls, aspiring Fishing Masters use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as
they battle to hook the fish on their line, just like in real life. Players must
move the Wii Remote left and right as the fish fights from the end of the line
and adjust their drag so their line doesn’t break. Once gamers have the basics
down, they can try their newfound skills by competing with friends via new
enhancements made just for the sequel – four-person multiplayer modes! In Wi-Fi
mode, players compete online against other Fishing Masters over who will catch
the biggest fish in various worldwide locations. Gamers will also enjoy local
multiplayer battle which enables them to play against their friends and family
members in a variety of different battle modes.
In addition to the new multiplayer
modes, FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR also features ‘Boss Battles’ where players can
catch rare fish with exclusive boss battle controls. A Deep Sea Fishing mode has
also been added to allow players to fish off the coast in places like Hawaii on
the back of trolling fishing boats.
"FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR really
takes the sport of fishing to a deeper level of gameplay," said Sabine Duvall,
Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. "We really wanted
to build upon the features that were popular in the original game, and by
providing gamers with competitive multiplayer battle modes, more fish, a larger
variety of environments, and additional controls for young fishermen, we think
this will be a great game for families and players to enjoy all winter long."
FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR delivers
players more than 200 different types of fish to catch, enabling them to reel in
fish from their native waters around the world in the first ever global fishing
game on Wii. Players now have over 40 different locations to fish from in 7
different regions. Whether players are catching fish on Easter Island, under the
Golden Gate Bridge or on the Amazon River, they will encounter numerous exotic
locations in this fishing adventure.
