Play Shimono Masaki no Fishing to Bassing (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Ever played one of those fishing games where you just mindlessly tap a button and wait? Shimono Masaki no Fishing to Bassing isn’t that. There’s something weirdly satisfying about the way the lure arcs through the air—you actually have to time your casts right or you’ll end up snagging reeds instead of fish. And when a bass finally bites? The controller rumbles like the real thing, and suddenly you’re in this frantic mini-game trying to reel it in without snapping the line.

The pixelated lakes have this oddly peaceful vibe, like someone bottled up a lazy Sunday afternoon. I kept getting distracted just watching the water ripple. But don’t let the chill fool you—those tournament modes get seriously competitive. One wrong move and your prize catch bolts. It’s definitely got that old-school SNES charm, right down to the ridiculous victory fanfare when you land a big one.

If you’ve got a soft spot for quirky retro sports games, this one’s a surprisingly deep time sink. Just don’t blame me when you lose an hour to "one more cast."
