Well purchased "Let's Fish! Hooked On!"
Only played into the beginning of Ai's tourney mode, lost a match, then realized there were skill up areas, and beat 2 or 3 of those...
The music and sound effects sound so Sega, it's like I'm playing Outrun Coast to Coast! I can deal with this.
The game looks nice, though maybe it has a few minor frame dips while panning over stage / reflective water? Nothing too horrible. Looks nice and sharp otherwise.
The touch controls work out very well, to me. Combined with some Dpad and Square button (for quick reel), I rather like the quick tap controls.
I don't like how fish can just... pop up in view at times. That's kinda odd. It doesn't really seem to effect what happens... the characters announce when a fish is interested, of even just somewhat close to the line. It's just a bit jarring in a "where did THAT one come from?!?" style way.
The story of the challenge mode; Only seen one cinematic. The text stays on screen as if it's timed to Voice acting, but there's none there. The pictures move and update over time, though. It felt slow going for the first few lines, but started to speed up towards the end of the conversation. I don't think you could press buttons to advance to the next line...
I don't know much about fishing specifics, so can't say anything about that... but it's good, arcadey fun, and the bits of story I've seen so far, while kinda non-sensical, should be interesting to see played around with, as the game goes on.
Will talk about it some more, when I get to spend more time with it, but I'm enjoying it so far, exactly what I expected at this point.
