There is fish to eat this evening with SEGA Bass Fishing for the Nintendo Wii. Inside, you will find five little images to satisfy your gills. The french release date is set to 2008, without knowing anymore.
There are some minor graphical upgrades from the Dreamcast version I see. The biggest one being a minor refraction effect on the water, basically it makes it look more wavey.

lol I 'defended' it here before. I liked the Dreamcast game, but hey I'm really just pointing out the fact that they didn't just port it over from Dreamcast.

Is it possible that this too is an arcade port? I read somewhere that HOTD2&3 Returns are actually arcade perfect ports of those games.
The reflection sounds like the kind of thing they might've sacrificed in porting it to the DC.
I hope they get a bunch of arcade games ported over, it's a perfect console to have accessible arcade thrills with replay value/score attacks.
That's a good question, but typically these type of reflection distortions only started showing up with basic shaders or really advanced processors, Gamecube games, and Xbox games, PS2 had the effect sometimes done in software.
I only wish they'd do more than just port a single or 2 arcades games on a disk. For example, they could have put HOTD1 on that HOTD collection disk, and if they had included HOTD1-3 AND Virtua Cop 1&2 (and even 3), I would pick it up easily.
I read an interview somewhere that explained why HOTD1 wasn't on there... but I really don't remember the excuse.
I would've liked to see it too, considering how rough the Saturn version was.
I'm not too fussed that they didn't stick everything on this, because for some reason I'm not really keen on the kind of compilation discs where they just shovel games on there until it's filled up. I much prefer that they build a proper interface for the games and make every aspect of it actually feel like it's given some care. The Megadrive collection on PS2 really just felt like an emulator and a truckload of roms without any sense of direction or theme for the packaging.
This'll retail for dirt cheap too, just like Ghost Squad, so I'm prolly gonna pick it up.

Yea Sega has done a lot of that, the whole Sega Ages series in Japan was like that I hear.

Commented on 2008-01-29 23:33:30Some day I DO have to get those though. Virtual On, Last Bronx, Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers, and many many more.... :)
And they all look great too! Sharp and blocky in their proper arcade glory.
Oh and then there's the NiGHTS one coming out in february, but I don't think that's technically in the Sega Ages line of games.
