Nice Day For Fishing Physical Release: Legendary Edition Announced for Nintendo Switch

Silver Lining Interactive, in partnership with FusionPlay, digital publisher Team17 Digital, and under official license from Viva La Dirt League, has confirmed the upcoming physical release of Nice Day For Fishing for the Nintendo Switch.

While an exact launch date has not yet been provided, the release is scheduled for later this year, expanding the game’s availability beyond digital storefronts and offering fans a collectible retail version.

This anticipated physical edition includes the complete base game as well as the Legendary Edition downloadable content (DLC).

The DLC enriches the gameplay experience with exclusive chests filled with heroic gear, including a set of 12 premium items skillfully crafted from Erangel steel and Sanhok leather—each officially recognized by Greg the Garlic Farmer, adding an extra layer of authenticity for fans of the Viva La Dirt League universe. Pre-orders for the physical edition of Nice Day For Fishing are open now via Silver Lining Direct and a selection of participating local retailers, giving players the opportunity to secure their copy ahead of release.

This move underscores the growing demand for physical Nintendo Switch releases, especially for indie and third-party titles that achieve cult status within the gaming community. Nice Day For Fishing is a narrative-driven adventure that melds fantasy, humor, and fishing mechanics into a singular, engaging experience.

The game’s story begins when the renowned heroes of Azerim mysteriously disappear, thrusting the land into disorder.

Stepping into the role of Baelin, a humble fisherman NPC turned reluctant hero, players embark on an epic journey to restore order and revive their ravaged homeland. Gameplay revolves around skill-based, precision-timed fishing encounters, where casting a line becomes a strategic battle involving strength, spells, and tactical upgrades.

With the ability to enhance gear, equip magical hooks, and challenge intimidating boss fish, players navigate a vibrant world inspired by lush forests, subterranean caves, and locales teeming with hidden secrets.

Side quests, memorable characters, and village restoration projects further broaden the game’s appeal. Since its original digital launch, Nice Day For Fishing has garnered attention for its clever narrative, inventive gameplay loop, and the seamless integration of pop culture elements from Viva La Dirt League.

The collaboration between Silver Lining Interactive, FusionPlay, and Team17 Digital exemplifies the importance of cross-industry partnerships in creating unique experiences for the Nintendo Switch platform.
