Ultimate Games S.A. has revealed that Ultimate Fishing Simulator will be arriving on Nintendo Switch in Q1 2019.
The game recently debuted on Steam, gathering 'very positive' reviews from players, and now has its sights set on console releases. Switch will receive the game first, followed by releases on Xbox One and PS4 in Q4 2019.
Players can go fishing in seven different locations, all modelled on real places and winter season fisheries. You can make use of different fishing techniques, such as spinning, bottom, and fly methods, and can take part in sea and ice fishing, with several dozen types of fish to be found. Ultimate Fishing Simulator is said to feature "photorealistic water" and a "dynamic weather change system", with players viewing the open waters from all manner of boats and yachts. As well as the main solo action, there are also multiplayer modes to explore.
That's not all, either; project manager at Ultimate Games S.A., Rafał Jelonek, has confirmed that DLC is already being planned for staggered releases, giving players more fishy add-ons to play with.
“In the next coming months, we will focus on converting Ultimate Fishing Simulator for consoles, obviously taking into account the specificity of individual platforms, to offer console players the highest possible quality. At the same time, we are working on paid add-ons that will also be available on consoles. The first of these is an add-on introducing a whole new fishery and additional species of fish – we are planning the premiere of this DLC on the Steam platform to end 2018. In total, there will be five different add-ons that will be released every quarter."

It doesn't look terrible. The water actually looks nice. I like the ambiance of birds flying around and the wind. Not really my cup of tea, but I suppose it's good that there will an option other than Cabela. From the statement, it sounds like they might take the gyro abilities into consideration.
Looks good, I'll wait for reviews but I love a good fishing game
Oh, boy.
There is a famous polish tale about a very enthusiastic fisherman (it even received a movie adaptation!) and I considered pasting it here, but it contains mildly foul language. It starts like this: "Mój stary to fanatyk wędkarstwa..."
Is it ok for me to be a little excited for this?!
waiting for 3ds port
I just can't take this sort of thing seriously. It might well be a good game, but it just makes me think of all the crappy old shovelware titles we had on PS2 and Wii back in the day. Those super low quality games that you used to see at the check out line in clothing stores or at Bed Bath and Beyond. Games that I swear were specifically made to target late middle age husbands who their wives dragged to the store with them.
I know how unfair it is to assume this is the same kind of thing, but I can't help that that is what it reminds me of in the extreme.
well if thats the best they are showing give me my shovel ltd edition keyring to go with the game. looks like a wii game
Unless it comes with a plastic bucket with a bit of styrofoam on the bottom to make a seat attachment with "real butt chilling action" tm the ice fishing experience will not do.
Just like buses, you wait for one fishing game then 3 come at once. We've got Rapala Fishing Pro Series next week, Bass Pro Shops - The Strike - Championship Edition the week after and now Ultimate Fishing Simulator a few months later. OK not quite all at once but still,close enough. This town ain't big enough for 3 fishing games.
@Heavyarms55 Is that such a bad thing? There's this assumption that games should only include certain genres, or appeal to certain demographics. They might well be 'bad' from our point of view, but if a middle aged man wants to pick up a fishing game, so be it.
looks surprisingly good.
@beazlen1
Yes. I am interested in it too. I've enjoyed many fishing games over the years, though there have been lots of shovelware titles too, so I'll give it a shot.
Not quite sure about this yet, but I can say that it seems that unless a fishing game has 8 K/120 FPS graphics it will be considered shovelware.
This looked good on steam, and I love redneck hobbies like bass fishing, so I might....bite.
Well... I think that real-life fishing is one of the most boring activities in existence, so... what am I supposed to say about this?!
@NightBeast To me, fishing is another excuse to go out drinking with a couple of pals. So if drinking isn't a hobby you enjoy (I don't), you probably will find fishing to be a boring waste of time. My cousin loves it though. Gets up at 5am in frigid weather just to do it all day. But he loves to drink, so yeah. At least there is the potential for some healthy protein after all is said and done? Lol something you can't quite achieve from a computer simulation however.
@Heavyarms55 @Stryker89 I have to agree heavyarms is right about these games they are clearly aimed at that particular demographic. I'm also somewhat ashamed to admit this but I'm that middle aged guy who's excited for this. So excited.
@bluemage1989 If you like it, have fun dude!
Getting games like this is really a sign of success. You gave enough consoles sold for very niche markets.
To those of you almost secretly wanting this game, go for it! You are the niche, enjoy it!
