@exodus wheat catching escapades got me wondering:
so i have the dreamcast fishing rod + the marine bass games, and an N64 one and itoi's fishing game
i know PSX has one, what other classic systems have them as peripherals and solid fishing games?
@âIrishNinjaâ#p122253 it may be easier to ask which consoles didn't have fishing controllers. I'm pretty sure nearly every console had one of some sort, even some portables.
@âtreefroggyâ#p122265 oh man! okok
saturn? genesis/mega drive? snes, turbo/pce, gamecube, neo-geo, master system? i assume ps2 had one i missed, i likewise assume most HD era systems likely didn't bother, though i'd love to be wrong

Go fishing then run a shushi restaurant. I might check this out
@ârejjâ#p122294 Steam is convinced that I need to play this game but I donât know a single person whoâs touched it.
@âCoolGuy87â#p122347 looks like Nextlander checked it out recently. Itâs the first game they look at in this video:

âŚI havenât watched yet, so canât say much else. At least this video will likely scratch my curiosity based itch and Iâll know if it is worth grabbing or not
I did a double-take when I realized Dave the Diver was a Nexon game. I guess theyâre branching out; thatâs cool.
Anyway, this isn't a _video_ game, but my tabletop group has been playing Rod, Reel, and Fist and we've been having a great time. The "fish combat" is a lot of fun. You get to throw around a bunch of dice and it does a good job of representing the push and pull struggle of landing a fish.

@âIrishNinjaâ#p122273 just google â[console name] fishing controller!â
@Obskyr Iâm still thinking about what you pointed outâ fishing games âotherwise being for middle-aged menâ. Iâm only 30, but being world weary, I fit that demographic more and more. Itâs probably why Itoi made two fishing games, and absolutely why Isozuri: Ritou Hen has such a somber tone on the title screen. Itâs that somber postwar nostalgia that defined the japanese culture, I love it. I slurp it up like cold soup.
@âtreefroggyâ#p128951 Other genres in the same category include hunting games, train simulators, mahjong games, and⌠gulp⌠horse-racing games. All genres that Iâd more or less thoroughly dismissed, but earlier today, I watched the 2013 Game Center CX episode on Derby Stallion for the NES, and found that itâs just about my favorite (non-quiz game) episode of the show!? How much of that is down to the emergent story Arino created I cannot say â Iâd imagine that factor takes most of the credit â but I cannot discount the possibility that thereâs a middle-aged man inside of me who wants out. Terrifying.
@âObskyrâ#p128952 also shogi games, the only games late Nintendo prez played.
But itâs definitely not the superficial middle age Japanese manâs aspects I love, itâs the _sentimental heart â¤ď¸_, and the same thing that my [MOTHER theory](https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/673-mother-like-games-with-twin-peaks-sprinkled-on-top/98) revolves around. â_Known only by the seasonedâ_
Horse racing is interesting because it kind of spawned Princess Maker -> Tokimeki memorial hospital -> monster rancher -> persona 3 âs daily/weekly activities mechanics.
Canât wait for WINNING POST 10 2023 edition!!
Just kidding, but for really silly reasons I did research the entire history of the WP series just yesterday lol.
⌠for the record, I have a 7,000 year old [cave man](https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/57-why-were-there-so-many-caveman-games/38) who lives deep inside of me who wants out

I badly wanted to play River King on Gameboy back when I saw it in a magazine. I asked for it for Christmas but my family couldn't find it so they got me Donkey Kong Land 2. It was still pretty good but every once in awhile I have vivid imaginations of what I think River King would have been like.

Seems like a normal bass fishing game, but gives the very 90's playstation vibe like it could have been a merger between bass fishing and survival horror!
