SUNNYVALE, Calif.  August 26, 2003– Experience the struggle of man verses fish as Capcom today announced the release of Pro Cast Sports Fishing™, the most comprehensive bass fishing simulation game developed exclusively for the Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft.  In Pro Cast Sports Fishing, players choose their fisherman from a line up of three seasoned professionals in a bid to attain the grand title of Master Bass Fisherman. Players fish through gloriously detailed, nature-filled stages in a bid to catch the biggest Bass in the lake.  Pro Cast Sports Fishing™ is rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) and is now available at retailers across North America.

Select your lure carefully! In Pro Cast Sports Fishing, there are stock lures available at the start of the game, but to attract the attention of the best Bass, players must win tournaments and earn points to buy better, more appealing lures. As players accumulate points they will also be able to make improvements to their boat and even purchase a lucky Fisherman’s hat!

Pro Cast Sports Fishing boasts the following features:
·       Hours of addictive gameplay
·      Three modes of play to suit any fishing style:

    O Arcade Mode – Try to make the all time Top Ten Bass fisherman! Players will be ranked on the total number of Bass you catch within the time limit of the tournament.

    o       Free Fishing Mode – In this mode players can relax and just work on the perfect cast and reel technique. Players can also change the weather and time settings to your own preference

    o       Simulation Mode – Participate in tournaments and see just how hard fishing can be. Attain points based on the size of bass players are able to catch and then use these points to shop, gather info and tips from other fisherman and participate in bigger tournaments.

As players progress through the game many new elements can be uncovered including rare fish and bonus features, giving this title excellent replay value.  Players will be lured into the fable of the Mirage fish, the elusive prize catch that resides within the waters of the Pro Cast Sports Fishing universe. Will this prize catch elude the anglers hook or become someone’s prized showpiece?
