For the first time, the arcade fishing experience series is heading to the Americas. Bandai Namco has officially released Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits on the Nintendo Switch and this game is definitely not your average fishing title.

This game introduces players to Marine Medal Mania, an aquarium-themed amusement park where they can explore and experience exciting games among five distinct attractions. In the main Ace Angler+ mode, anglers compete to catch fish and earn medals they can use to spin for prizes. Players can also collect from more than 250 different types of fish to store in their personal aquarium. Not only that, but it also features single-player, couch co-op, and online multiplayer in a variety of game modes!

In addition to the arcade-style Fishing Medal game, which sees players rise through the ranks to become the “Ace Angler”, the game also challenges players to follow quests to clean the world’s oceans for a sustainable future in Story Mode, play aquatic-themed medal pusher games, enjoy multiplayer games like Gator Panic and Goldfish Scooping in Party Mode, and even wage online battles for the first time in the series.

Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits is available now on the Nintendo Switch. Which fishing-based party game do you look forward to playing first?
