The Wii nets another fishing game

Proving that software based on fishing sells, Activision is publishing yet another title in the genre, set to hit the Wii (as well as the 360 and PS3) this summer. Called Rapala Fishing Frenzy, it sounds, uh ... exactly like that other Rapala game for the Wii.

Fish fans might look forward to this iteration, though, which captures "the adrenaline-pumping intensity of sport fishing." If that statement just sent thrills throughout your body, you should also know that Fishing Frenzy lets you catch twenty-five of the world's most sought after fish. So ... woot?

Fish cheaply on the Wii

Fishing titles aren't our most coveted games, but if you like the thought of motion-controlled fishing with the Wiimote, this is a good week for you. We assume that if most of you were to pick up such games, though, they would have to be ones that were on sale (at least, that's how we roll). So, here are your two choices:

First off, Amazon's "Deal of the Day" is the Dreamcast port Sega Bass Fishing for $19.99. Keep in mind that the deal only lasts until 3am EDT, so you don't have too long to mull it over. The other fishing software on the menu is Rapala Tournament Fishing for $23.99 at GameQuest Direct (use coupon code CAG1SHIP for free shipping). This sale will last until Wednesday.

Like we said before, we're no experts when it comes to this genre, so if you have any insight for potential buyers, go ahead and share it in the comments.

Buy the 'last copies' of these cheap games at Best Buy

As one of those irritating "Black Friday" deals that gets desperate people outside at 4am, Best Buy will be offering four Wii games at a discounted price of $19.99 on Friday and Saturday. The selection includes enough of interest to make it worth leaving your family on Thanksgiving night to go camp out in front of an electronics store! If anything is.

We won't speak for Rapala Tournament Fishing! or Brunswick Pro Bowling, although if you're going to buy those, you might as well do it at a reduced price. More likely to be cared about is Sonic and the Secret Rings, which might well be $20 worth of game. The best deal is Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, which, at $20, is about what you'd pay for a new copy of RE4 on the GameCube. If you don't see these on the shelves, just wait until a blueshirt comes by with the "last one" of the game you're looking for.

We've had enough time now with the Wii to discover some real gems (how many hours have you put into just Wii Sports so far?) ... but like any system, there are also a few duds, particularly within the launch window. If you're looking to expand your collection, or if you're one of the Wii-less trying to figure out how to budget when your day comes, we're here to help you find the best and the worst of the Wii so far.

Reeling it in: Rapala Tournament Fishing videos

It hasn't been long since we saw the first images for Rapala Tournament Fishing on the Wii. Following in its wake, Gamespot has got 3 different videos of the game in action, something which easily trumps images, available via their video section. Sure, the game might not have received the best reviews (or many, for that matter), but that is hardly a reason to exclude those fishing fanatics from getting their fix.

[Note: Link automatically goes to the video player, which itself automatically opens. You might want to disable your pop-up blocker.]

First Rapala Tournament Fishing screens and info

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.
