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. Whether players are catching fish on Easter Island, under the Golden Gate Bridge or on the Amazon River, they will encounter numerous exotic locations in this fishing adventure.

Family Ski and Snowboard video game on Nintendo Wii

Snowboarding Tempt Snow Sports Game Fans to the Slopes for a Whole New Wintry World of Fun Exclusively on Wii

Wii gamers are dreaming of virgin snow and the dazzling winter sun with the news that NAMCO BANDAI Games’ Family Ski & Snowboard, the sequel to the much-loved snow sports game for Wii, will make its wintry way into European homes this coming February 2009.

Amongst the abundance of gameplay advances jostling for space on the slopes in this latest instalment of the Wii Balance Board standout series are all-new high performance snowboarding, enhanced skiing functionality, two statuesque new mountains to conquer and an additional 10,000 vertical metres to hurtle down. There’s big, big air to be grabbed by skiers and snowboarders alike with fun boxes, rails and a half-pipe all throwing down the thermal gauntlet to players as they test their skills to pull off an array of wild aerial tricks.

Family Ski & Snowboard takes players on a wintry thrill ride through a multitude of different environments on the imposing Mt. Angrio and cool Jamboree Snow Resort. Take the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers in hand to enjoy the classic motion-based controls popularized by Family Ski, while the addition of the Nintendo Wii Balance Board brings an even greater level of realism to the fun.

Custom characters and player Mii’s add another dimension as the player kicks up powder on adventures across the vast free-riding areas boasting even more mountain terrain than ever. Hopping on the chairlift for a ride to the summit ensures a breathtaking view, while heli-drops from vertigo-inducing heights give players the chance to shred down vertical cliffs and sheer precipices. And don’t forget to watch out for avalanches!

Hot Doggers can quench their thirst for thrills with half-pipe courses, and ski technique challenges, while those looking for a more leisurely time on the piste can indulge in other activities including ski school, board school, moguls, slaloms, and even animal search and rescue. The day, night and dusk skiing across the sprawling vistas offer endless variations on the whole snowy experience.

When it comes to getting the family involved there’s four player fun in fast-paced racing action or free-skiing, while solo players can enjoy the ride with up to three AI-controlled skiing buddies for company.

Pit Crew Panic! The All Girl Pit Crew arrive on Nintendo WiiWare

Broken Aircraft Carrier? Leaking Fishing Boat? Giant Broken Wedding Cake? Fear not! Hudson’s All-Female Pit Crew Has You Covered!

The official launch of Pit Crew Panic!, an all-new, wacky “panic-action” game, available for WiiWare. This unique game is loaded with frantic fixing fun as the player’s all-female pit crew repairs a variety of bizarre “WHATSITS” as fast as they can.

Players can choose to play solo and race against the clock or play against their friends to see whose all-female pit crew can hammer, screw and wrench the fastest on a giant broken wedding cake! Inspired grease monkeys can even play online and see whose girls can out-fix their opponents on an aircraft carrier, a broken toilet, a pot of sunflowers, a car with a cake under its hood and many more zany “WHATSITS”!

Pit Crew Panic! is full of crazy frantic action! As broken “WHATSITS” race up to the awaiting pit crew, players will have the power to assign each of their pit crew girls to different sections of the broken item that needs to be fixed. Players have to hurry before timers run out since sections of the broken “WHATSITS” could explode like ticking time bombs or spew automotive fluids and nearby pit crew girls will get stunned or slip!

Players can also help out their pit crew girls in sticky fix-it situations by using their Wii Remote just like a real pit crew tool. Just like any good grease monkey would use a screwdriver, wrench or other pit crew tools, players can use the Wii Remote to hammer away with up and down swings or tighten bolts with a turn of the wrist. There is also a handy tutorial to help players figure out not just how to play the game, but also how to go as fast as they can when fixing all the wacky “WHATSITS” in the game!

“Pit Crew Panic! has taken gameplay with the Wii Remote to fun and creative new extremes,” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. “The game has a unique sense of humor which players will appreciate as they try to use the Wii Remote as a blowtorch to fix a space station or as a wrench to fix a locomotive.”
Pit Crew Panic! is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).

Nintendo Wii Music video game out 14th November in Europe

Get ready to broaden your musical horizons and perfect that inner beat as Wii Music beats onto Wii across Europe on 14th November. Making sure everyone is a member of the band no matter what their musical or gaming experience, Wii Music reveals the hidden musician allowing them to play a vast array of differing musical instruments like a true professional!

Discover the sweet sounds of over 60 instruments and experiment to recreate any one of the 50 included tracks. Featuring music of all styles, from the best of the classics to cult pop, and even some gaming tunes like Super Mario Bros; and instruments including steel drums, bass guitar, the saxophone and even a barking dog, Wii Music lets everyone easily re-create and perform their own interpretations in a way the whole family can enjoy.

‘Jam’ is the main game mode in Wii Music for creating your musical masterpieces. Split into ‘Improvise’, ‘Quick Play’ and ‘Custom Jam’, play as part of the six-member band, with the remaining instruments controlled by the Wii as ’Tute’ characters.

‘Improvise’ allows for the chance to rehearse and master playing styles, while ‘Quick Play’ creates a totally randomised performance where all aspects of the set are chosen by the Wii, producing a unique experience every time. ‘Custom Play’ gives you full control, from choosing a musical style for the Tute accompaniment, to setting the speed, to choosing the instruments, to deciding where to perform - creating the ultimate performance!

Once the song is complete, it can be saved as a video clip, personalised with its own record sleeve and uploaded and shared with friends and family over WiiConnect24. This gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy your creation, rate it and even remix to collaboratively create the ultimate track!

In order to help players become more accustomed to certain styles of music and ensure a superstar performance, Wii Music offers numerous tutorials for tightening playing techniques, arranging tracks, playing drums and aural training. With regular practice players will find that simply reproducing music will not be enough, and improvisation and creativity will flow from the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to produce remixes that may outshine even the original version!

As if ‘Jam’ wasn’t enough, Wii Music offers budding musicians several other modes to keep their musical skills in tip-top condition. The ‘Virtual Drum Kit’ brings the heart of any band to the Wii by mimicking a real set of drums. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck as drumsticks, and the Wii Balance Board as foot pedals, almost every aspect of a standardised drum kit can be simulated including bass drum, cymbals, snare and hi-hats! With 15 interactive drumming lessons, free play and a one-player jam session with any of the 50 featured tracks; the Virtual Drum Kit is ensured to bring people closer to a bass drum than ever before!

Ever dreamed of conducting an orchestra? Now here’s your chance to step up to the challenge! Using the Wii Remote like a baton, you can control the speed and volume of the rendition, and even create strategically placed moments of intense musical climaxes guaranteed to bring the house down! With up to four players able to conduct at once, the action becomes fast and furious, as the conductors need to remain synchronized to ensure a high score is awarded for the performance!

Need to scrub up on the fundamentals of music and sound? Not sure how to compare pitches, construct basic harmonics or tell the difference between consonance and dissonance? Then you need the Wii Music Pitch Perfect music quiz! With eight difficulty levels, the quiz tests the contestants to a range of tasks such as choosing or sorting notes by their pitch, identify matching sounds and spot the wrong note in a piece of music. Challenging friends and family adds to the excitement, ultimately improving everyone’s ear for music!

Wii Music offers complete musical freedom and is an engaging and fun way for all the family to learn more about musical instruments and styles. So what are you waiting for? Get your groove on and get your copy now!
