I don't know why but i feel like the Sega Bass Fishing games have some of the most hilarious cover-art in video-games in general.

I don't know why.

I still need to get one for myself. Love Sega Marine Fishing.

I'm looking into a DC too because I have a copy of Shenmue...how hard are rev0 or 1 consoles to find nowadays? Listings on Amazon and eBay don't really say which revision they are and that worries me.

rev2 is pretty rare. You can usually assume that you're getting rev0 or rev1.

Well thanks to this thread I'm out $30. On the plus I have an Official Dreamcast Fishing controller, Sega Marine Fishing and Sega Bass fishing on the way.

But just in case, be sure to check / ask the seller.

I forgot that sort-of-English this game is dubbed into. Man, I really miss this one (don't think I have the fishing controller anymore.)

You also have to love the rocking soundtrack when you're fighting the fish. Really looking forward to getting to play these again. Hope it won't take more than a week or two for them and the controller to arrive. Then I shall land that damn shark.

Yeah, I picked up one of the fishing games for a couple bucks. I didn't expect to enjoy it, but I ended up completely addicted. It's the most accessible and entertaining fishing game since Fishing Derby!

Anyone know if the Wii ports are any good?

I only paid $16 for my Official one. It's not exactly expensive. Can't say much about the 3rd party ones, but the 1st party is great.
