GREE is bringing its smartphone series Fishing Star to Switch, it has been revealed.
Launched back in 2007 and already available on iOS and Android, Fishing Star tasks the player with capturing 100 types of fish. To achieve this you can use various rods and work with other players to gain rare fish.
Due for release worldwide via the Nintendo eShop, Fishing Star will be the mobile company’s first console title. Does the concept have you hooked, or will you be playing the waiting game?

Looks cool, I guess. Probably not going to pick this up.
Hope it’s Reel-y good
Only if you can use the joycon as a rod.
Sounds pretty fun actually. Optional motion controls, please.
I guess someone looked at Labo and said "We have to get in on this."
meh.
nah
@Mr_Pepperami There's a time and plaice for puns
@Mr_Pepperami
Why are you baiting us? Fishing for likes? My Cod! Anyway, I must skate off.
I've haddock enough of these mobile games but I'll wait and sea how this one turns trout before fully dismissing it.
Gree heard Nintendo were going after a blue ocean...
"Launched back in 2007 and already available on iOS and Android"
So 11 years = "already" huh? Must be working on a Square Enix time table.
@Ooyah you’re right that was shellfish of me
Can we stop it with all the puns? What a load of carp!
Looks like another shallow port.
I caught an oarfish! Good, I needed a paddle!
(insert many, many other Animal Crossing fishing jokes in here)
This can either be a terrible port with dated graphics or a amazing one where they include joy con controls. Hope the latter on the two
@Mr_Pepperami
Glad you sea the error of your whales. I won't carp on about it. I will clam up now. Catch you later.
@Ooyah glad you’ve changed your tuna.
GREE ?
I thought it was a Japanese spelling of GLEE. (serial TV)
@Mr_Pepperami
You battered me into submission.
Seems fishy
@OorWullie That was friggin fantastic.
I don't know about the game but the comments I'm reading have got me hooked. Well done yall
@Kalmaro why do you need to comment on nearly everything, most of the time you have no particular feelings or thoughts to give about the article, you've made pretty much that same comment a few times and that's just what i've seen when I do occasionally check out comments
@honkdonkey Well, they keep asking us what we think.
@Mr_Pepperami Delete this.
Erm.....no
I love a good fishing game. They don't need to be anything special, I just find them relaxing and motion controls makes it work.
Alright people, no more puns, you're making me hungry for seafood. lol
Love fishing games, but will wait for reviews on this one. "2007" and "mobile port" are raising too many flags for me. If it's like the 3DS streetpass fishing game though, I'm in.
@Mr_Pepperami lol.
Looks awful...
Is this game going to be compatible with Labo?
The trailer for the mobile version looks, um, weird.

Also looks like there'll be a gatcha system, which I don't find appealing at all.
A trolling game is always fun.
@Joeynator3000
I am eely sorry. I knew not what I squid.
Already hooked on the amazing gameplay. /s
@Ooyah ...Now I'm thinking of Squid Girl, lol
