Hudson Entertainment’s Fishing Master World Tour can now be caught

Players Will Be Hooked On First Global Fishing Game For WiiTM

REDWOOD CITY, CA – January 6, 2009 – Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm for HUDSON SOFT, announced today FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR is now available at retail for an SRP of $29.99. A sequel to the popular FISHING MASTER, FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR is published by Hudson Entertainment for North and South America.

Staying true to the first version’s realistic controls, aspiring Fishing Masters use the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ as they battle to hook the fish on their line, just like in real life. Players must move the Wii Remote left and right as the fish fights from the end of the line and adjust their drag so their line doesn’t break. Once gamers have the basics down, they can try their newfound skills by competing with friends via new enhancements made just for the sequel – four-person multiplayer modes! In Wi-Fi mode, players compete online against other Fishing Masters over who will catch the biggest fish in various worldwide locations. Gamers will also enjoy local multiplayer battle which enables them to play against their friends and family members in a variety of different battle modes.

In addition to the new multiplayer modes, FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR also features ‘Boss Battles’ where players can catch rare fish with exclusive boss battle controls. A Deep Sea Fishing mode has also been added to allow players to fish off the coast in places like Hawaii on the back of trolling fishing boats.

“FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR really takes the sport of fishing to a deeper level of gameplay,” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. “We really wanted to build upon the features that were popular in the original game, and by providing gamers with competitive multiplayer battle modes, more fish, a larger variety of environments, and additional controls for young fishermen, we think this will be a great game for families and players to enjoy all winter long.”

FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR delivers players more than 200 different types of fish to catch, enabling them to reel in fish from their native waters around the world in the first ever global fishing game on Wii. Players now have over 40 different locations to fish from in 7 different regions.
