I picked up River King! It's a pretty unique title--in traditional Natsume fashion it takes something seemingly boring (fishing) and mixes it with RPG elements to make it addictive.

Well, it's kind of addictive, anyway. To be honest, the fishing element itself is a little hit-or-miss; it's kind of annoying having to wait for a bite on the GB (where the ambience isn't particularly great), and the reeling mechanics are a little strange and unintuitive when compared to stuff like how Zelda does it. It is an awfully quirky little game, though, (battling wild animals is especially strange) and interesting enough for me to keep playing.

So is it an RPG like DragonQuest, but with a focus on fishing? Is there a story to speak of?

He wants to be the very best
Fisherman there was
Each fishy-type, to understand
To catch them is his cause

RIVER KING!
