that entire series is beautiful, hope to play fan translations of the 16/32bit ones before too long. I own the GBA one and have played it a bit. Didn’t at all realize it has town building elements, I just enjoyed the squirrel partner and the usual procure-on-sight of bait and stuff. Dang that’s cool. I like the relatable 2001 kid you play as too.
Wish it was in english. Is there even a guide for it in english? It’s so unkown in english that it’s hard to even find data on it or import it. Mercari.jp didn’t yield great results when I was looking and I didn’t see it in any shops when I was in japan. Eventually I found it on yahoo auctions for significantly more than I wanted to pay for it.
Obskyr It looks like a slow life Harvest Moon-like,
it’s the spiritual predecessor to Bokujou Monogatari, both made by Pak-in-video. since Harvest moon became so successful they kind of became more like sibling series. You can link the GBC harvest moon and river king 2 games, and HM Wonderful Life has character cameos from RK Wonderful Journey
Obskyr fight bears and other wildlife with RPG mechanics entirely unrelated to the fishing
if you’re not fighting bears, are you even really fishing though
Obskyr otherwise halfway to something aimed at middle-aged men.
while I was on my fishing games journey, I got a kick out of how easily some of the most Japanese-ass games like Sega Bass Fishing Duel for PS2 could be found in thrift stores and uncle’s media shelves across the american southeast. Like I have witnessed first hand the most redneck fellas owning stuff like Reel fishing 3, which I find ironic since the voice samples are really Japanese-sounding, and it just didn’t matter.
The ones I want to play most in english are the ones for the PC Engine, Super Famicom, and N64. If there’s a translation guide I may go along with that instead of waiting until I don’t care anymore.
