Wii Play - Two-Player Fishing

This is a capture of me and a friend playing the Fishing mode of Wii Play for the Wii. This was recorded directly from my Wii (not the Wii U). I'm player one and Drew is player two.

I had actually been interested in getting Wii Play since shortly after I got my Wii in early December 2006 because it looked like more of Wii Sports. However, I never got around to buying it until 2011, mostly because I made the mistake of listening reviewers who bashed the game. It's a shame I waited so long because the game is actually quite fun. It reminds me of a lot of the simple black box NES games I played as a kid.

Fishing is one of the weaker games in this title. Although it makes good use of the Wii Remote's three-dimensional tracking, the gameplay falls a bit flat (pun intended). Nintendo should have made this more like the fishing in Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess instead of using cardboard-looking fish in some tiny pond.
