Shigesato Itoi's No. 1 Bass Fishing is a fishing sim developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. It launched exclusively for Japan’s Super Famicom on Feb 21, 1997, with famed writer-designer Shigesato Itoi at the design helm. Players step into Itoi’s shoes to fish at the fictional Lake Akahoshi, aiming to catch the biggest, most fish to top tournaments. Pick optimal spots and baits based on weather and time to lure diverse fish; the toughest challenge is landing an 80cm+ largemouth bass. It also supports Satellaview for extra content and national tournaments. An enhanced N64 version, *Shigesato Itoi's No. 1 Bass Fishing: Definitive Edition!*, dropped on March 31, 2000, adding dedicated fishing rod controller support for greater realism.
