Game Overview

Ever wanted to fish without the sunburn or tangled lines? Larry Nixon's Super Bass Fishing on SNES is the weirdly satisfying answer. It’s Japan-only, which explains the slightly off English translations—but honestly, that just adds to the charm. You pick your lure (the frog one worked best for me), cast into these surprisingly detailed pixelated lakes, and then… wait. The tension when that bobber dips is ridiculous for a 16-bit game.

What’s cool is how simple it is. No stamina bars or convoluted reeling mechanics—just timing and a bit of luck. The fish fight back in this jerky, endearing way that feels straight out of 1994. And yeah, the physics are "realistic" for an SNES cartridge, meaning sometimes you’ll swear the bass are cheating. But when you finally land a big one, it’s weirdly triumphant.

If you dig obscure retro sports games or just need something oddly zen, this one’s worth a cast.
