Nintendo Life: Reel Fishing Challenge II is, by definition, the follow-up to Reel Fishing Challenge that hit WiiWare last year and as such is basically just more of the same. Fans of staring at full-motion video backgrounds and boring, lame fishing mechanics, rejoice.
From the review:
"Have you always wished that you could control your own clan of meerkats and dig a bunch of holes in the desert? Me neither, but Lead The Meerkats is giving us the chance anyway. In this little adventure, you play as a meerkat who has been separated from her clan after being chased off by the mean “dark meerkats” because that’s what happens in meerkat life. Now left on her own, your meerkat must burrow holes, find a mate, eat bugs, reproduce, and hopefully reunite with her clan."
Nintendo needs to stop being so lenient with the games that are allowed to be released. If they keep this up, they will run WiiWare into the ground.
This may be a case of Nintendo just trying to keep the release schedule rolling, even if they know they don't really have any hits in the mix at the moment. Even though the big game releases may have convinced us otherwise, we are heading into the lean summer months, and at that point the manufacturers just have to try to convince us that we shouldn't just hibernate until autumn.
Ouch, this was not a good week for nintendo. Well, maybe they'll pick up the slack next week. Hopefully anyways. Also, I think we'll see some good stuff from them at E3.
I could kill for some Metroid right about now
