Virtual Master Reel lets you fish without getting wet (or kidnapped by pirates)

Takara Tomy, toy maker extraordinary, is back to tease your little ones while using them to subtly have you spend more money, by releasing the Virtual Master Reel. This is obviously a fishing game which thankfully allows you to wear what you want without running the risk of getting sunburnt in the process. As for pirates, the only ones you will have to look out for would be those who sneakily try to nab your chocolate chip cookies from your favorite cookie jar. This fishing game will use AR (Augmented Reality) to further enhance your virtual fishing experience, and it is made possible thanks to a small video camera located behind the fishing stick, where you will then need to “roam” around your surrounds to find fish. The moment you locate one, a red dot will appear on your sonar – throw the line and try to commence the battle of your life then! Out this July in Japan, we do hope this will come in an English version in due time.
