Original Gamer - Much like golf, darts, or ten-pin bowling, fishing is one of those activities which will always be at the centre of a debate of what is the difference between a sport and a pastime. However, in similar fashion to the Cabela hunting games, Sega Bass Fishing is classified by gaming standards as lying in the sports genre, so I guess that’s one strike for the fishing purists out there. Originally released on the Dreamcast in 1999, Sega Bass Fishing was re-released on the Xbox 360 as part of the Dreamcast Collection, alongside Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi and Space Channel 5: Part Two. Sega Bass Fishing received decent review scores upon its original release, but does the game still hold up today, or should you seek different waters to cast your line into?
The best fishing games allow us to escape into a world that is often relaxing, sometimes competitive, and even a matter of survival.
Bass Masters Classic for the SNES was pretty great
EDIT: Author should be arrested for saying RDR2 has the best fishing minigame without even so much as mentioning any of the Zeldas. Criminal.

Japan's Kobe Sannomiya Movie Festival was held today, which previews new films of all genres from around hte country.
Some celebrities also did live gaming at the festival. Japanese singer GACKT and Appbank CEO Max Murai (helped by musician TAKUMI) played Get Bass (aka SEGA Bass Fishing) live on stage. Tickets to the gaming session were sold out, and the event was broadcast worldwide via YouTube.
