There's a law in Japan that states if you're making an open world title you must include a fishing minigame; Final Fantasy XV, New Hot Shots Golf (!!!), and now NieR Automata are evidence of that. Of course, the original release was famous for its rubbish rod action, so we've been eager to see if 2B falls into the same trap – hookline and sinker, like. Haha!

Anyway, Square Enix was on hand to show off the mode during a stream at the Taipei Game Show. Essentially, you use your robot companion as a lure, but nothing was biting during this particularly drab demonstration. We can confirm that there are robo-fish in the final game, though, as proven by these Famitsu screenshots.

The stream also showed off some deserted highway gameplay. Let's be honest, this is not the most riveting showcase in the world, but we already know that the title's looking good after last year's awesome demo. Will you be accompanying 2B and her big butt by the riverside? Hook a big one in the comments section below.
