XSEED's had a working relationship with Namco Bandai for a long time. They seem to be Namco's preferred "We don't want to bring this game out here so have at it" publishing partner.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I will buy this, it looks really good. ^_^
You know, if NoA announced 2/3 of the Rainfall games for the Wii. I would instantly buy these because I'd already have the Wii out of storage and I'd probably love these. But I don't think these alone are enough to make me interested in my Wii.
Good for the people who still use their Wii a lot though

Clearly this title is generating a lot of interest. It looks great, and Yuji Naka has been quietly kicking ass all gen without many people (unfortunately) taking notice. I assume Europe will be using the Japanese title, Family Fishing, to go with the Family Ski series.
The latter series is known as We Ski in North America. I hope they change this game's North American title to better reflect that connection. Fishing Resort sounds too much like the title of a lame third-party Nintendo knock-off, which you'll know if you played the fantastic Wii Ski/Family Ski games it certainly is not.
Off Topic: This is the fourth announcement thread we've had for this title. It would be great if a mod would merge them.

1. There was 1 thread that officially announced the game with not much more than a couple of screenshots.
2. The 2nd thread was the first one with all the new screens, details and the trailer.
3. The next day someone made thread 3 with all the information already in thread 2.
- The 2nd thread has since had a new TV CM added, 2 sets of extra screens added, and a video of two comedians playing the game
4. This 4th thread we are in now announced that XSeed was bringing it to America - information that was added by Zoner to the 2nd thread.

Man, that trailer sold me. Looks like a lot of fun, and kind of relaxing to boot.
Makes me really want a Legend of the River King Wii game.

I'm trying to remember if Ivy the Kiwi was $19 or $29, does anyone remember?

I believe it was $29.99.
This might be a pricing error on amazon, btw, because I don't think X-Seed announced a price or even a date yet. It's not up for pre-order elsewhere. With the pre-order price guarantee, it wouldn't hurt to pre-order now, in case the MSRP is higher.
Official U.S. trailer: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/mM91DH15W0WDS/ref=ent_fb_link
In Japan it's a full-priced title. The trailer looks good. Too good for a $20 game.
Both versions of the game are actually sold out on amazon.jp.
XSEED's twitter is very chatty during the work week so I'm sure they'll have something to say about it on Monday. I've placed my preorder. Thanks for the alert.

Nothing official from our end yet. Those are just placeholders. Placeholders, I tell you!
In response to the MSRP and release date inquiry.
