If you've dropped off Ninjala, we might just have a reason for you to return. In a bit of a surprise announcement, GungHo has recently announced the Switch exclusive will be adding fishing in its Season 12 update.
Players will be able to approach any large body of water and cast a line. There will also apparently be fishing missions, tournaments and an "Aquapedia" where you can log everything you've caught. Players will also be able to use different fishing methods depending on the location.
The fishing options on offer include pole-and-line, surf fishing (bait) and surf fishing (lure). You can see the new fishing mechanic in action in video below:
Season 12 begins on January 12th. Will you be returning to Ninjala to give this game a go? Comment below.

Actually I already forgot this game long time ago.
Used to be I have some attention with Ninjala but since I knew the game was not complete even with physical release, I stopped thinking about Ninjala since then.
The addition with other activities in Ninjala are good but I'm ready for another games who have better features and better treatment for their games.
with how successful this game seems to be in the backlight the only thing i can hope for it now is to release on other hardware. maybe being an exclusive ftp on switch is what helps its popularity, but if its gonna continue to grow i think crossplay could do it some good
This is actually a fun game, and spending money on the demon slayer collab is money I will never regret.
I might actually play this game now.
This does just kind of speak to a general game design concept I've had in mind for a long time, which is that before you put in a fishing minigame you should ask yourself, "Does this game need this?" and then realize the answer is no every single time.

Oh, that was also my other reason to not consider Ninjala for crossover of the franchise that I really against of.
I actually stopped playing this for a bit because of guardian tales... oops.
@Anti-Matter If Sailor moon gets added Im deleting the game forever.
@Snatcher Why, do you not like Sailor Moon?
I could never understand the appeal of fishing. Cruelty aside, it's just so randomly added to so many games. Harvest Moon, Zelda, etc. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if I saw it in Fifa.
As long as the mini game is fun. Some games ruin fishing by having a crap minigame.
@ComfyAko I jest. Even if I did, I would never delete a game over a collab I don’t like lmao.
I need to watch it however, it looks vary interesting.
