Yet another Wii Gadget: Fishing Rod

Yet another Wii Gadget: Fishing Rod

With each new Wii gadget, the same Controversy ensues: is it just another silly toy to further embarrass yourself while playing Wii, or is it a cool new piece of hardware adding to your game experience.

The answer is up to you. The latest Wii gadget is the all new Wii Fishing Rod, bundled exclusively with Core Gamer's Wii fishing game, Hooked. Hooked is currently on preorder for $59.99 and scheduled for delivery on 9/3/2007. Hooked is $10 more than the usual Wii games price, evidently due to the attached fishing rod.

Hooked for Wii features:
- The only fishing game on the Wii with online multiplayer: Challenge the best virtual fishermen around the world via online Wi-Fi play.
- Immerse yourself in the fight with realistic fishing controls: You'll be working up a sweat as you lean your Wii Remote in every possible direction, all the while, reeling the Nunchuk like crazy to catch the big one. It's as if you have a rod and reel right in your hands!
- A wide range of fishing environments: Explore 6 photorealistic lakes, from a meteorite crater turned lake to a man-made recreational reservoir.
- 3 exciting single-player gameplay modes!: Hone your skills in Practice or Time Attack mode. Then take on Tournament mode to see if you can become the next world champion!
