PREPARE TO CATCH THE BIG ONE NEXT MONTH--

FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR GOES GOLD ON Wii™

Realistic Controls, Deep Sea Fishing, and Addictive Multiplayer Battle Modes Will Hook Players Into A Global Fishing Safari

REDWOOD CITY, CA – December 3, 2008 - Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm for HUDSON SOFT, announced today FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR has gone to gold master. A sequel to the popular FISHING MASTER, FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR is published by Hudson Entertainment and distributed in North America by Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR is scheduled to release on January 6, 2008 for an SRP of $29.99.

The new FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR offers players more than 200 different types of fish to catch, enabling them to reel in fish from their native waters around the world in the first ever global fishing game on Wii™. Players now have over 40 different locations to fish from in 7 different regions. Whether players are catching fish on Easter Island, under the Golden Gate Bridge or on the Amazon River, they will encounter numerous exotic locations in this fishing adventure.

Staying true to the first version’s realistic controls, aspiring Fishing Masters use the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ as they battle to hook the fish on their line, just like in real life. Players must move the Wii Remote left and right as the fish fights from the end of the line and adjust their drag so their line doesn’t break. Once gamers have the basics down, they can try their newfound skills by competing with friends via new enhancements made just for the sequel - four-person multiplayer modes! In Wi-Fi mode, players compete online against other Fishing Masters over who will catch the biggest fish in various worldwide locations. Gamers will also enjoy local multiplayer battle which enables them to play against their friends and family members in a variety of different battle modes.

Additional new features in FISHING MASTER WORLD TOUR include ‘Boss Battles’ where players can catch rare fish with exclusive boss battle controls. A Deep Sea Fishing mode has also been added to allow players to fish off the coast in places like Hawaii on the back of trolling fishing boats. Will you be the first to hook the Big One?
