Break out your rod and reel and hook up your favorite lure, folks, because fishing season is almost here. But hey, don’t worry if you don’t have the proper equipment. Come springtime, Natsume will provide everything you need to hook a big ol’ stinky bass, right in the palm of your hands.

Reel Fishing Paradise 3D, Natsume’s first title announced for the 3DS (of what will surely be many once the 3D Harvest Moons start pumping out), brings the popular fishing franchise to Nintendo’s glasses-free 3D portable, promising stunning graphical depth that will wow players as fish and water literally leap and splash off the screen.

The game will offer 12 fresh and saltwater fishing hot spots, a wide range of fish species to catch, and a virtual tackle box outfitted with all the rods, reels, lines, lures and baits a fisherman could ask for.

A firm ship date has yet to be set, but Reel Fishing Paradise 3D is scheduled for release this spring, presumably within the Nintendo 3DS ‘launch window’ between March and June.
