Boku to Tsuri Nikki is out on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Imagineer released the fishing action RPG on October 8, 2026, with packaged and download versions priced at 6,578 yen.
Boku to Tsuri Nikki moved from announcement to release in about three months. Imaginer, also written Imagineer, announced in July 2026 that the fishing action RPG would arrive on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on October 8, 2026, with physical pre-orders opening July 2. The game launched on that date on both platforms. Packaged and download versions both cost 6,578 yen. On Amazon.co.jp, the Switch 2 packaged version was selling for 5,722 yen as of October 9.
Toybox developed the game, and its president Yasuhiro Wada, a creator on Story of Seasons, is involved. Art director Satoshi Matsuura of Takion, who has worked on fishing games including the REEL FISHING series and Fish Eyes 3D, also worked on the project. Wada described the design in an October interview: players read where fish live and cast without relying on visible fish shadows. The game supports float fishing, lure fishing, and stream fishing.
The setting is a cursed world. The protagonist works with ayakashi companions, starting with the bunbuku chagama Pokomi, to lift a curse that has drained color from eight fishing spots. Players fish more than 100 freshwater species, including ayu, oikawa, and rainbow trout, plus fantasy monster fish. The game also has encyclopedia research, rods and lures, and fish print collection.
The pitch leaned on a market argument. Wada said Imagineer noticed fishing games had left home consoles and bet a proper one could find demand, which narrowed the project's scope toward world and characters instead of licensed gear.
