You ever come across one of those old games that you're obligated to review but doesn't really support much critical discourse so you just have to wring as much material out of it as possible? No? Well, maybe that's just an occupational hazard unique to me.

Anyway, this is a game where you fish, painfully, on Virtual Boy.

Virtual Fishing retrospective: Red tide | Virtual Boy Works #16

Next in our look at Virtual Boy's Japan-exclusive lineup is the system's sole foray into the fishing genre: A by-the-numbers take on the format by Locomotive and Pack-In-Video called, creatively, Virtual Fishing. It is... fishing. On Virtual Boy. The end. Thanks as always to Chris Kohler for lending his copy of the game to this project.
