Finny The Fish Swims Into Videogaming View

Thanks to IGN PS2 for its short article noting Natsume has announced the PlayStation 2 action title Finny the Fish & the Seven Waters for North American release "in the first quarter of 2005." NCSX describes the Sega WOW developed Japanese version as being "a surprisingly fresh and engaging gaming experience", as "the protagonist UO (fish) is sent on a mission by an old turtle creature... prey may be gobbled up by wagging the right thumbstick... fishermen also plunk their appetizing baited lines into the water to snatch hungry fish." There are also a number of screenshots of this quirky-looking title over at The Magic Box.

  1. Anyone remember Army men by Turn-X+Alphonse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What was it a few days ago "If it doesn't have army men it's original"?

    Well this seems original but I don't find the idea very entertaining, if I want to swim around and get food then I'll goto a leisure centre, swim for an hour and grab some lunch.

    Anyone remember the "Seaman" game on the Dreamcast? Same thing, different ideas. It'll fail majorly outside of the Asian market, but in that market it'll sell like hot (fish)cakes.
