Natsume Inc, a developer and publisher perhaps best known for series such as Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, has announced that Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure is reeling in a release on Nintendo Switch.
The game will be the latest entry into Natsume's Reel Fishing franchise, which has seen releases on Nintendo DS, Wii, and Nintendo 3DS in the past (the imagery above actually comes from the 3DS release). Road Trip Adventure is the first time the series has made its way over to Switch; the title graphic below is the only imagery yet to be released.
We do, however, have a quick blurb of the game thanks to a press release sent out today. Check it out:
After meeting a mysterious man at a museum, three college friends set off on a summer road trip to find the elusive fish he mentions to them. But what's the story behind this fish? And for that matter, who's the man who sent them on their adventure in the first place? He certainly is a unique individual, to say the very least! In any case, working together, these friends will unlock all these secrets and more in Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure!
The game will arrive on both Switch and PS4 "this summer", with more details expected to be shared before then.

They’ve got me on the hook. Now they need to reel me in. I hope this isn’t a bait and switch.
Sorry, my attempt at a joke was a pile of carp.
@justin233 Punny comments like that have no plaice on our comment boards.
@ryancraddock What a load of pollocks!
@justin233 Sorry, salmon had to say it.
@justin233 @ryancraddock For cod’s sake guys, these aren’t funny.
@nessisonett @justin233 Yeah, we whaley should stop.
I guess i came in at a bass time.....
idk if i'm doing this correctly >_>
Something fishy is going in this comment section.
I took the easiest one and swam with it. Deal with it
@ryancraddock @nessisonett @justin233
Will you guys quit carping on like this? You're giving me a haddock.
I don’t have any fishing puns to share.
If only they could remake this then my virtual fishing life will be complete.
I hope this is a good fishing game. I guess I can see what others thought of the older entries. Right now Warframe fishing is filling the void.
While you guys are talking fish, someone is reeling me away away from here.
HEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!
Well this looks reel-y good!
...just kidding I'm not interested in fishing games
Eh, I got the Umihara Kawase Fresh! demo for my fishing needs.
No, it's not a "fishing" game, but you do use a roe to get to and fro between platforms.
Why do companies like to release fishing games? Are they that easy to make?
@RyanSilberman
Seeing how Zelda did it in 1998 it doesn't seem the hardest thing to do
POCKY & ROCKY damn it!!
River King spiritual sequel?
@RyanSilberman because people like them and buy them?
@Morpheel I just never really saw this genre to be popular among consumers, let alone how different each game may be from each other to justify their existences.
@RyanSilberman well, you can know that if there were no consumers, this wouldn’t be a genre.
Will this work with labo?
Is this expected to be more a boring fishing game or more an interesting road trip game?
@TheFongz The one on the 3DS eshop was nice. Not super interesting, but pretty and relaxing.
Don't know if this one will be similar in controls, but it can only be better... Right?
If they're putting a decent fishing game out, they should make it compatible with the Labo fishing pole.
I got Fishing Star: World Tour for my Switch fishing needs, and while looking back $30 is a bit steep for what it offers, I actually quite enjoyed my time with it (it has a vibrant color pallet that made it stand out compared to the other fishing offerings on the eShop). Oh, and it does support the LABO fishing rod for those interested.
I have loved this franchise since it debuted on the original PlayStation. Happy to see it coming to Switch!
