Line 46:
* ''[[Magicians Quest Mysterious Times]]'' also lets you go fishing. Rather than sell the fish, though, you give them to a magical book so he can turn them into useful items.
* ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]: Grunty's Revenge'' has a fishing minigame... sort of. The mini-game pops up several times with several different "skins," and while it is indeed about fishing in some of them, in its first version, it's about... catching ''sheep.''
* ''[[Deadly Premonition]]''{{context}}.
* The [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s built in ''AR Games'' include two fishing games- one where you have two minutes to earn as many points as you can from catching fish, and one where you have infinite time and can catch as many as you want without worrying about points.
* ''[[Solatorobo]]'' has a mostly optional fishing minigame (you only have to do it three times during the course of the story, but you can come back and do it whenever you want) but you're not really fishing for... fish. You're fishing for ''giant hermit crabs'' which wear ''battleships'' as shells. Capturing them nets you points based on junk salvaged from the battleship; the points can be exchanged for [[Amplifier Artifact|Power Crystals]] and [[Auto Revive|rare parts]] for the Dahak.
* ''[[Nie RNieR]]'' has one, and it can be quite frustrating, partly because the [[Tutorial Failure|in-game explanation is wrong.]]
* ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds]]'' has recently included one as the very first "trade skill" introduced in-game.
* ''[[Chantelise]]'' starts providing fishing poles to the pair of protagonists about midway through the game. Immediately upon receiving her pole, the swordswoman's older sister Chante comments on the newly obsessed look in Elise's eyes and how clearly [[Lampshade Hanging|they'll be doing a ''lot'' of this from now on]].
** While poles are available, it's impossible to buy bait or lures anywhere, leaning to another funny moment when the instructor says she just needs to find something small and sparkly with feathers or something. Chante (who is currently a fairy) retorts that they couldn't possibly be expected to find anything like that anywhere... and notices Elise has that creepy look again... and is looking at ''her'' now... and this is going exactly where it sounds like. Fortunately, Chante is very good at surviving close encounters with fish.
* Prince Noctis' favourite activity is fishing, and ''[[Final Fantasy XV]]'' provides ample opportunities to do so, including a chain of side quests leading to a legendary catch.
* Fishing is a fast way of making some extra money early on in ''[[Stardew Valley]]'', and can be practiced in any body of water found in the game.
* An update to ''[[Genshin Impact]]'' added specialised fishing spots the player can use to obtain more effectivly than simply jumping into the water and attempting to chase the fish into a corner.
* The 10th anniversary update to ''[[Skyrim]]'' adds the option to fish at select locations. As the only option given to the player is to yank back the line when you feel a bite, calling it a mini-game is a bit of a stretch, but technically qualifies.
