Japanese fishing sim Boku to Tsuri Nikki gets Western localization for Switch 2

It's the news of the Western release for the Japanese fishing game. Previously, this game was only available in Japan.

This new game will launch on the original Nintendo Switch as well as the upcoming Switch 2. The game is a localization of the Japanese title Boku to Tsuri Nikki. The initial launch was on October 8. Natsume is the team behind this Western release in collaboration with the developers Imagineer and Toybox.

With this game, you'll get to explore the game world. Specifically, you'll be able to fish in 8 different rivers, lakes, and ponds. The game world has over 100 species of fish to catch.

That's from real-life fish species to a slew of original monster fish as well. The developers promise immersive fishing mechanics and settings. Settings are taken from Japanese folklore.

According to Natsume President and CEO Hiro Maekawa, the game is unique. He says this in a press release. The game is relaxing and engaging for those who are looking for something different.

The team can't wait for fans in the West to see the game. It's a specific type of fishing adventure they plan to bring to fans in 2027.

The game provides immersive fishing mechanics and a story based on Japanese folklore. It's set to launch mid-2027 on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The game's main focus is relaxing fishing mechanics, not combat.

    Is the original Japanese version available for import or do we have to wait for the western release in mid-2027?

      The article states it launched in Japan on October 8 under the title Boku to Tsuri Nikki. You would need an import switch to play it now.

    mid-2027 is a long time to wait for a fishing game 😂

    I would be skeptical of the immersive mechanics claims until I see actual footage. Natsume has a history of porting older engines with poor optimization.
