Way back in the nineties, watching dubbed infomercials for fishing products like the Instant Fisherman and the Flying Lure, I noticed Americans always hold their rods, well, upside down. With the eyelets facing the sky, the reel on top, and the crank to the right. Now I see this controller, also with the crank on the right side.
This makes no sense to me at all. Why would you hold the rod in your non-dominant hand, fighting gravity to keep the reel on top, and use your most powerful hand to crank? My own rods have the reel under the right hand, the rod extending my dominant arm, and the crank towards my left hand (with the option of switching it to the other side for lefties). This seems logical to me.
I had a game ghoul panic on ps1 and a gun controller that could be used to shoot the ghosts
Honestly have no idea how that shit worked. Shit from that era like video tapes, tape recorders etc confuse the shit out of me waaaay more than any current technology or internet for example lmao
Imagine a reality where fishing games became what racing games are, and people are sharing pictures of their $40k fishing gaming setup complete with boat in their living room.
no way lmao
I’ll always prefer Sega Bass Fishing!
You gotta try to “hook” that thing to a pc and see if it works in the new skyrim fishing mini game
Imagine this in some VR fishing game!
Still have this game!!!
Yeah. It came out in 2002.
Way ahead of Sega bass finishing in 1997
Bruh

Can someone explain? I’m genuinely curious.
This was posted like less than a week ago
I wish they still made these, with force feedback, with strong fish spooling you, giving you the fight of your lifetime by the edge of your couch!
dreamcast tho
That’s amazing.

No it wasn’t
My god, Sega Bass Fishing mate, *FIVE* years earlier.
I dont think Sony gaming has ever been ahead of it’s time since the release of the PS1 analogue pad.
Sega made it years ago
Yeah except Sega Bass Fishing on the Dreamcast that had its own controller too.
Yo this looks cool
No, it was a product of its time.
good
Must never heard of seamen on Dreamcast.
This reminds me of the time someone used Sega’s fishing controller to beat Soul Calibur.
Oh gag, the amount of dead skin on that controller.
Makes me miss guitar hero
This is what we will see next at EVO fighting game championship.
Looks like you got some chum on the controler.
Anyone ever play Bass Strike? The line “bite it!” being repeated constantly will forever be etched in my brain
“Dad, please buy this fishing game with this fishing controller!”
“You know, I can actually take you fishing for real fish… With a real fishing pole…”
I liked the Wii Bass Pro fishing

The RDR2 DLC the world deserves
