Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream gold

Natsume’s Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream has gone to gold and will launch for the Nintendo Wii this month. Reel Fishing: Angler’s Dream features a realistic fishing engine where fish flee, dive, and jump like in real life. Players will travel to various locations to find the best fishing (lakes, rivers, and oceans) and use over 100 pieces of tackle (some of which you’ll have to unlock) to reel the biggest catches in. Players can then raise their catches in aquariums, or release them back into the wild. Players can also take on other players in the 2-4 player Versus Mode.

Look for the game to be in stores later this month.
