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

Mmmmm...
Still not enough to get me to buy either a Wii or a fishing game (for any platform) though.

If she came with it, then I could be persuaded.

She'd probably only go mental at you for spending so much time fishing and not going shopping with her, not going to see her, not going to her parents' house, going to the pub without her, getting drunk, getting stoned. She'd also spend all her time watching Big Brother, bitching about her friends, bitching about her friend's boyfriends, bitching about your friends ad infinitum.
You get the point?

Is it obvious I'm not in a very 'girlfriend' place at the moment?
