Legend of the River King guide

MFGreth's ongoing pet project. MFGreth can also only cover games he's played, unfortunately.

Introduction
Okay, so I know exactly what you're thinking. FISHAN GAEMS, how fucking fun can that be, right? Perhaps. I'll admit not everyone likes fishing, and it's not a consistently high-action sport by any stretch of the imagination, so a series of games centered around the premise that you, well, fish, may not be for those people. Even so, if you are a fishing buff, you can immediately tell this series does not even try represent accuracy or realism. So why then? Why go for an obscure, mostly Japanese, series of games that has never sold particularly well in the Western hemisphere? Why go for something that seems so quirky in premise, but not in execution? Because, my friend, it's fun. So if you have even the most remote interest in fishing, even if it's just because, say, you liked the fishing mini-game in Ocarina of Time, or if you're always willing to try a new spin on the JRPG formula, then it may be in your best interest to give one of these games a shot. Besides, you can punch bears in the face with your fists.

Kawa no Nushi Tsuri (NES)
This one is all Japanese, but shouldn't be too hard.

Kawa no Nushi Tsuri 2 (SNES)
This one's gonna be tough as shit to cover; the whole damn thing is in Japanese. I have no idea what they're saying, so this might be the last one I do... but I'm going to do it, because it's the one that impresses me the most.
