In late spring and early summer this year, the Nintendo 3DS will be inundated with one thing in Japan: fishing simulators.
In late May, one fishing game will be released on the 3DS. After Super Black Bass: 3D Fight hits the 3DS on May 26, three more titles will hit the 3DS in Japan the following month. A veritable fishing bonanza!
There's Fishing 3D and Fish On, which are both getting released on June 9. That's right, two fishing games getting released on the exact same day. Imagine the confusion that will cause at game shops.
Then, on June 23, Fish Eyes 3D is getting released.
The games are not exactly the same. But they're fishing games - a niche genre at best. These four games are going to battle it out in the span of a month for a tiny percentage of fans, divvied up and made smaller by bad timing.
If fishing is something that requires patience, shouldn't the same be true for releasing fishing games?
