If you've had your finger on the pulse over the last few months, then you may have heard of Dave The Diver, a game all about catching fish and managing a sushi restaurant. it's been a hit with fans and critics alike, and in today's Nintendo Direct, Mintrocket's indie hit was revealed to be coming to Switch on 26th October.
Dave the Diver is a lot of different things — a management sim, an action-adventure, an RPG, it kight be easier to say what it isn't! But what we've heard is that it's a lot of fun, blending lots of complex systems such as cooking, boss fights, and restaurant managing, with a relaxing vibe.
The game sold over one million copies on Steam within ten days of its release back in June, so this is one we think will prove extremely popular on Switch. if you're curious, there's even a demo you can check out right now.
Pre-orders are available on the eShop. The game will cost $19.99 / £16.99.

A price, a date, and a demo. That’s impressive. Never heard of this one, looks cute.
To be honest the fact that nexon’s name is attached to it reminds me of 2 things.
1. They made maplestory which is a game I would love to play again.
2. They made blue archive which is honestly a great gacha game with some of the best chibis in mobile games.
I was really impressed by this game, definitely checking out the demo!
I keep hearing about this game over and over from industry people that I trust, including those that are usually very strict/harsh in their critiques. I'm pretty certain its excellent. I've not had time to check it out but when I do, it will be on Switch. Very glad to have it available on my platform of choice for retro-ish indies.
Dave the Diver seems a much more plausible name than Stockton Rush.
I know the game looks like an indie game, but to call it an indie game is very misleading. Mintrocket is simply a division of Nexon, a huge company that makes around a billion dollars a year - so the game couldn't be much further than than an actual indie game
Looks good though.
I wanna get physical, physical.
Yeah, this looks great.
I'm super excited about this one... will download the demo soon.
Heard good things so physical-me-up and I'll buy it just for the halibut!
I've just heard good things about this game. Really excited to get it on switch!
It’s brilliant. Well up for playing on Switch.
Glad there's a demo. Definitely intrigued with how glowing reviews were
@Greatluigi You just sold me this game!
@Tirza huh how? Wait…ARE YOU A FELLOW SENSEI???
This looks very good
This has been on my radar for a while after reading lots of good things about the PC version. The devs did say that a Switch version was coming in 2023, so it’s good to finally get a release date. Will check out the demo.
Wow! That demo was really good! This came out of nowhere to jump to the top of my most wanted games in the next few months.
This game is FUN!

oh nice, did wishlist this on steam, hoping a switch version would arrive..
@MontyCircus Thanks, that's impressive too. Not keen on those sushi restaurant sections but I suppose playing would be more fun that watching.
@Raffles You beat me to making this comment. A good game is a good game, for sure, but trying to pretend about your development creds really feels..fishy.
