Yes they can be played fine without the special controller (certainly better than Samba de Amigo without the maraccas), although they certainly will be a lot more enjoyable with it.

SEGA Marine Fishing and Get Bass 1&2 are very fun games, so IMO it's worth investing $40 on the special controller, you'll have a lot of fun for a long time.

I don't remember the exact price anymore, but I purchased the DC fishing rod controller bundled with Sega Marine Fishing for $20 or $30. Both were brand-new.

TC, you should shop around a bit

40 bills can get you a real beginner fishing pole. 100 can get you Guitar Hero or a real beginner guitar. See where I'm going with this. I love fishing, playing games, and making music, but I can't understand simulating these activities. Maybe I'm becoming an old man.

But a lot of people don't want to fish or play guitars they want to play video games. That's why he's inquiring about a video game and not real fishing equipment..
