Reel Fishing Reel Fishing (known as
Fish Eyes in Japan) is the first in the
Reel Fishing series of
fishing video games. It was released on the
PlayStation. It was published by
Natsume Inc. When hooking a fish, the player must wait until its mouth has completely covered the hook, then hit the reel button to set the hook. Once the hook is set, the player can reel it in. If the player reels when the fish is resisting, there is a greater chance of the line snapping and of the player losing the fish. When the fish is speeding away and then slows, the fish has a lesser chance of resisting. One a fish is caught, the player can put it into their personal aquarium, in which the fish can be fed and raised. The four reviewers of
Electronic Gaming Monthly were somewhat divided. Lead reviewer Sushi-X found that the fish are very easy to hook and extremely difficult to reel in, a combination he regarded as both frustrating and blatantly unrealistic. His three co-reviewers, however, all gave it a moderate recommendation, praising the atmosphere and the aquarium. The game is part of the
Reel Fishing series of games. Owners of ''Angler's Dream
will be able to unlock extra content in the WiiWare game Reel Fishing Challenge''.

Paradise 3D Reel Fishing Paradise 3D is a
fishing video game developed and published by Natsume Inc. as part of the
Reel Fishing franchise for the
Nintendo 3DS. Gameplay, like other games in the fishing simulator genre consists of casting a line from a
fishing pole to reel in fish. In the game, the player casts the line and reels in fish with the touch screen. Whether or not a player can catch a fish usually depends on timing and the placement of the
tackle. The game includes multiple fishing techniques, including bait fishing as well as fly fishing. The game also includes 15 stages, 40 fish, and over 100 pieces of tackle. Players can also keep caught fish in a fish tank for display. Reception, though minimal has been universally mixed.
Nintendo Gamer gave the game a 6.5/10, calling it a "A pleasant fishing sim." [March 2012, p. 101]
Nintendo Power gave the game a 6/10 and stated "We recommend a catch-and-release approach to
Reel Fishing Paradise 3D; it probably isn't destined for your trophy wall." [July 2011, p. 89] ==References==
