BPS The Strike: Tournament Edition

Bass Pro Shops is getting ready to ship their newest game for the Nintendo Wii, The Strike: Tournament Edition, due out mid-October. The tournament edition offers the same great gameplay you’re already familiar with from the first game, but now with a new focus on a true-to life tournament structure.

Experience a true-to-life tournament structure that focuses on all the real elements of an actual fishing tournament. Now, The Strike allows players to pre-fish a lake to test out equipment; challenge fellow fisherman to fishing contests; troll around a lake to get a feel for the layout and plot hot spots with their GPS, and even receive lake specific tips from their very own fishing mentor. Finally, sit back and enjoy a HUD-less fish fight because players are no longer forced to focus on meters and bars to reel in a fish — simply allow the feedback from the Wii remote to indicate the line tension and stamina of the fish.

Rapala We Fish

If you play video games and love to fish, you’ve probably played one of Rapala’s previous entries in the the virtual fishing world. While their games look great, they haven’t been able to produce a game that is truly enjoyable. This year they’ve ditched their graphics and tried to push up the fun factor. I’m not convince the game will be any better then their previous attempts but I’ll be trying it out very soon and let you guys know. At least We Fish is going to be released exclusively for the Wii, so the game should be more polished then the previous version that were ported from other systems. Check out the trailer…

Bass Pro Shops: The Strike

There are a few new fishing games due out later this year, and Bass Pro has decided to release their first fishing game since Trophy Bass 2007 into the mix. The Trophy Bass series was pretty solid, so I expect big things from their new game The Strike. You can expect to see several lakes and species available as well as a unique controller.

Try not to let that bad acting take away from it…
