Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Some of the first images and concrete information on Rapala Tournament Fishing have recently hit the internet, undoubtedly lost in the random assembly of tubes for days before being found by a lone internetter and subsequently brought to our attention. Now, given the popularity of the Dreamcast's fishing rod controller, the combination of Wiimote and nunchuk is naturally fit to work much in the same way.

The Wiimote is confirmed to control most of the game's needed actions, such as steering your boat, adjusting line tension in regards to your rod and setting your hook. The Wiimote's rumble capabilities should come in handy as well, undoubtedly allowing your to feel the fish take your bait and the Wiimote's included speaker conveying the sound of a fish thrashing about in the water as it tries its best to get free of the hook's embrace.

With 16 different levels to fish based on real-life locales, such as the Okeechobee river in Florida, Kanai River in Alaska and Lake Victoria in Africa, plus the 27 different types of fish, ranging from the Rainbow Trout to the King Salmon, Rapala Tournament Fishing is looking to be a great experience for those wanting some simulation fishing action on the Wii.
