Virtual Console

Fishing Resort was a bit of an odd localization choice for XSEED. The company traditionally brings over Japanese RPGs and quirkier titles rather than more casual experiences.

XSEED recently explained its decision to localize the game and also commented on Fishing Resort’s sales. Expectedly, the company wishes it had sold more.

XSEED’s Jessica Chavez noted:

“We published it because it is an awesome game. Seriously. It may not be our usual pick, but that game was the most relaxing fun I’ve ever had working. That and Yuji Naka is a cool guy. As for how it did… I’d like it to do more. It’s a criminally overlooked title for how good it is. Call me crazy, but once you wrestle with an alligator gar you won’t be able to put it down.”
