XSEED Games Announces Fishing Resort for Wii Has Gone Gold
Torrance, Calif., (November 9, in the year of our Lord
2011) – XSEED Games, an independent-minded publisher,
today announced that the open-world vacation title, Fishing
Resort™ for Wii™ has gone gold and will ship to retailers across
North America on November 22, 2011. In addition to the
standalone game at a suggested retail price of $19.99, Fishing
Resort will also be released as a bundle with NAMCO BANDAI
Games’ own fishing rod controller peripheral packaged with the
game at a suggested retail price of $29.99. Developed
exclusively for use with Fishing Resort, this high-quality
peripheral attaches the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers to
mimic the movements of fishing with a rod and reel, providing an
unprecedented virtual fishing experience.
Created by NAMCO BANDAI Games and PROPE in Japan, the studio led
by the celebrated former head of Sonic Team, Yuji Naka, Fishing
Resort turns players loose on a tropical island paradise resort
and lets them experience their vacation as they see fit. Fishing
Resort’s environment is incredibly varied thanks to the island’s
multitude of locations, from peaceful lakes and dense, lush
forests to sandy beaches, deep blue seas and even ice-covered
mountains. Best of all, as an open-world game, players can move
about the island as they choose and enjoy a wide variety of
fishing activities at their own pace.
Fishing Resort also offers an array of challenges for players
who are looking for a break from the fishing action. With over
20 different mini-games from kayak racing to scavenger hunts
around the island, as well as submarine tours and the ability to
customize your own massive aquarium, Fishing Resort is full of
activities. When players want to fish though, they can rest
assured that they won’t have to go far to catch some of the
game’s 200-plus fish. In Fishing Resort, wherever there is
water, players can fish!
XSEED Games will release the Fishing Resort bundle in North
America with the fishing rod accessory on November 22, for an
MSRP of $29.99, as well as offer the game as a standalone game
for an MSRP of $19.99. The game was developed by PROPE and
licensed through NAMCO BANDAI Games.
