Product Description

Reel Fishing: Angler's Dream is a fishing game like no other! Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and even feel of fishing as you experience the most realistic fishing game ever! Reel Fishing: Angler's Dream offers beautiful, picturesque fishing locales, from calm, tranquil lakes to the beaches of tropical paradises. You'll feel like you're really in nature as you listen to the gentle lapping of waves, the call of distant birds, and the splash of hungry fish ready to be hooked. You'll battle more than forty different types of fresh and saltwater fish in your quest to become a master angler. Each fish looks, moves, and fights just like the real thing; they'll flee, dive, and jump out of the water in an effort to dislodge your hook or break your line. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, you'll believe you're really fishing as you cast, reel, and move your rod. When you're done fishing, head back to the lodge. There you can get expert tips and advice from the Fishing Master, raise and care for your most prized catches in the aquariums, check out the prizes and equipment that you've earned, and learn about the tough and wily Legendary Fish that you might one day catch. Whether you are a casual angler or a seasoned veteran, Reel Fishing: Angler's Dream is the next best thing to actually being there!

Customer Reviews

The worse fishing games ever!!!
It is a shame that Nintendo allows this game to be sold for their system. The product information given is absolutely untrue. Not realistic at all. No underwater views. No action when the fish is caught. A real waste of money!!! The sights and sounds are terrible.
This Angler's Dream is an Angler's NIGHTMARE!!!

Reel Fishing: Angler's Dream

BAD BAD BAD!!!
I bought this for my husband who loves fishing games and this one is eally bad. Graphics are poor no underwater view and the fish dont even realistcly pull thru the water on your line- I figured with all of the fishing games out there we would of had a more modern progressive game but this one is terrible dont waste your money there are better fishing games out there!

Challenging, Realistic and Entertaining Fishing Experience
I just wanted to add to my review. I have now been able to play this game further and found it very entertaining. I have met all goals to proceed thru all the fishing areas and now yu need more stargety in finding and lauring the fish as you seek the "big ones" Granded the landing of the fish is a little anti-climatic but it does take skil and attention to land time since differnt fish have different movemnets and actions that you need to reach. I am quite please and find it is everything as advertized.


I have had the game for about a month and have had time to play. My initial reaction had to do with the fish master. In the initial visit he actually spoke until you where ask to enter your name. When you returned he no longer spoke and you need to read the screen thereafter. I contacted Natsume via e-mail and was pleasantly surprised at the fast response (within 2 hours) with a very precise answer. The reason is the game is limited to 50 lines of audio speech. Nothing is wrong with game this is working correctly. As you go along the Fish Master does periodically speak.

I had another issue that the program froze and since I did not save my progress this was lost. I again contacted Natsume again a very quick response with a reasonable answer. I want to take the time here to say that Natsume has been excellent in providing outstanding customer service. Turns out the problem was due to my remote have low power and about to shutdown. Has worked fine. However, I do recommend that you save often.

I have now met the goals ad progress from Lake (lure Fishing), Midstream (Fly Fishing), Rock Coast (Bait Fishing), and Back to Lake for Bait Fishing. Caught all species and size of fish. They all fight and act differently and keep your interest. I am now to Open Sea fishing where you have LARGE fish and they jump out if the water and dive as you reel them in.

You do not have a line stress meter (like real fishing); you need to get the feel of the fish and its actions to know how to land it. (Like Real fishing). You can go back to lodge gain knowledge where the fish are base don the season and weather conditions (like real fishing).

The graphics are very good and you get surface, about surface and underwater views depending on the type of fishing the lures and the action of the fish. I feel this game is addictive and very entertaining. I have rented some of the other fishing games and none provide the challenge that Reel fishing provides. Granted initially it is frustrating and you may not land fish (just like real fishing) once you master the art of casting, reeling and reading the fish it is great.

And for the price I recommend this game.
