GREE “may” use the fishing rod from Nintendo Labo for Fishing Star
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
GREE, a Japanese company with a great deal of success in the mobile space, is now pursuing console development. We found out that they’re developing Fishing Star for Switch just a few days ago.
Apparently, GREE is considering using Nintendo Labo. The company said that it “may” take advantage of the fishing rod accessory.
As for how GREE is handling Fishing Star on Switch, it’s planned as a single-purchase title as opposed to free-to-play. It was selected as the company’s entry into the console market since there’s a minimum risk involved, there’s a certain scale in the fishing game market, and they want to collect know-how (on the market). Switch was chosen because of the Joy-Con and due to the fact that casual games are doing well on the platform.

The latest European Splatfest in Splatoon 2 has come to an end. We now have a winner for the topic involving gherkins. Players were asked if they like having the food on their burgers, or prefer having it off.
Team Gherk-OUT won in all three categories, including votes, solo battles, and team battles. Only a few percentage points separated the teams, but it was still enough to propel them to a 3-0 victory.

Last week, Japanese magazine Famitsu published a fairly lengthy Project Octopath Traveler interview. Producer Masashi Takahashi from Square Enix and director Keisuke Miyauchi from Acquire were brought in to discuss the Switch exclusive.
One point mentioned is how the team started this project with Tomoya Asano, the chief producer who also worked as producer of the Bravely series. The primary concept is “going on a journey.” The player would choose one of the eight protagonists, role-plays as them, and freely has a journey with the world.
