Reverb Publishing and Big John Games will be bringing the arcade smash hit to home consoles this spring with Big Bass Arcade. The game is scheduled to land on a retail shelf near you exclusively for the Nintendo Wii this March.

As stated in the press release...

Big Bass Arcade goes back to the basics: letting players experience instant action and catch tons of fish. Leveraging 17 years of fishing game experience and technology, Big Bass Arcade showcases incredible graphics, true-to-life fish behaviors, spectacular animations and second-to-none fish AI, all evident from the first cast.

The game was originally a franchise that only appeared on the Nintendo subplatforms such as the DSiWare and WiiWare channels, limiting the amount of quality they could offer to gamers. With Big Bass Arcade for the Nintendo Wii, gamers will experience all the fun-loving arcade action on the large screen with fully-featured gameplay options tournaments, lakes and a world record leaderboard.

You can learn more about the game by paying a visit to the Official Big Bass Arcade Website. As mentioned, the budget priced title will be available for purchase from local retailers this March for only $19.99. You can check out a brief fact sheet below for few extra details on the game.
